Notes
- This is the clippiest clip show that ever clipped.
- Ostensibly a retrospective on the rivalry between Galvatron and Megastorm, this episode's clips are heavily padded with title cards, transformation sequences, even an (admittedly awesome) animated scale chart of the characters. The final 3:30 of the episode's run time is just stock transformation sequences for most of the cast, sometimes even the same characters done twice, once from beast to 'bot, and then in reverse.
- The "thirty-nine" warriors are never specifically named, and a bit of a cheat is necessary any way you look at it. Adding together the original Maximals (6), Insectrons (6), Jointrons (3), Magnaboss combiner team (3), Galvatron and the Combatrons (6), Autorollers (4), and Seacons (5) is only thirty-three warriors. Counting Gigastorm and the Cyborg Beasts double, however, does bring it up to thirty-eight warriors. And then...Ikard?
- There are thirty-nine transformation sequences used in the final "transformation cover", but that version counts Ikard, Moon, God Neptune, Magnaboss, and Tripledacus because, for whatever reason, Scylla was the only individual Seacon to have her own stock transformation.
