Notes
- "Foundation and Wreckage Part 2" was accidentally left off of the title page.
- Characters name-dropped in the story but not seen include *dramatic inhale*: Sonder, Adronitia, Anecdoche, Exulancus, a bot named Wrecker Hook or Tow-Line, Pipes, Alpha Bravo, Offroad, Thunder Mayhem, Optimus Prime, Hound, Mirage, Hoist, Brawn, Gears, Starscream, Boltax/Cybaxx, Megatron, Sideswipe, Thundercracker, Sunstorm, Grimlock, Noumenon, Aporia, Consumma Compersia, Master Aware, Fisitron, Fatale, Blurr, Fabulcon, Ironclad, Rook, Afterburner, Strafe, Scrounge, Computron, Lightspeed, Ratchet, Inferno, Superion, Defensor, Victorion, Medix, Cliffjumper, and Bludgeon.
- Impactor describes what sure sounds like, in an out-of-universe sense, an earlier Hasbro plan for a Combiner Wars Computron. This "Ironclad" figure is described as as a "mustard tan and gray" redeco of Rook, using the alternate Brawl head we previously glimpsed in Another Light with a red faceplate. It combines with an "energy-efficient" Afterburner for arm mode, presumably the Legends Class Groove mold.
- This story also posits a hypothetical "Project: Firestormer" combiner comprising Bluestreak, Ratchet, Hoist, Sideswipe, and Inferno. Presumably prior to Thunder Mayhem the latter three became "virtual redecoes" of Combiner Wars Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, and Hot Spot.
Errors
- On Page 3, "The Wrecker commander strode over to blue and black robot who had just unleashed the scathing rant," is missing a "the" between "to" and "blue".
- On Page 11, the word "Fractyl's" is at point misspelled as "Fracty’ls".
Continuity notes
Transformers references
- Bluestreak makes mention of Corrodia Gravis, the Reverse Evolution virus, and the Rust Plague as possible diseases which could possibly be brought back by the Teklaans.
Real world references
- Cergo name-drops two planets called Eska and Desna, named after the creepy twins from The Legend of Korra.
- The Teklaans are an alternate version of the Marvel Comics race, the Mekkans. The planet Maarin, name dropped throughout the story, did indeed have its dominant race die out and replaced by their creations, although the Mekkans never were involved in any terraforming process. Additionally, Cergo seems to be based upon Torgo, although decidedly more evil.
