The cobalt ocean roils
zephyrs blow cold,
and another hapless foe is crushed beneath my heel. - Sky-Byte's poem
"You might do better with limericks! Your imagery is derivative. It lacks semiotic cohesion, and the 'hapless foe' is you!" - Optimus Prime, critiquing.
"It's not happening, it's not happening, it's not happening... I'm going to sleep." - Kelly.
Other notes
Animation and/or technical glitches
Continuity errors
- The Black Pyramid's location is described first as being west, then east of Zuma Point. Whups!
Transformers references
Miscellaneous trivia
- The unusual phrasing of this episode's title suggests it is a reference to the book/film The Hunt for Red October.
- The dub of this episode gussies up the Black Pyramid as an energy-generating "Matrix Chamber." In the original Japanese version of the episode, it's just an ordinary archaeological ruin that the Predacons have hidden the Megastar in, so that they can - as is pretty obvious from the visuals, to be honest - just tap the undersea oil pipeline nearby.
- Kelly's boat has the registry number UF 26 S/C.
