Notes

• The story based on the G1 episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1". The word is BASED, since there are quite a few characters who either never appeared in the episode, or are anachronistic:
  • Grimlock, Superion and Menasor are present, but they weren't even created yet.
  • Roadburner, Wheelie, Ratbat, Slugfest, Overkill, Buzzsaw, and Beastbox have been retroactively added. Which creates even MORE of a headache in Wheelie's case since it's doubtful the Autobots have ever been to Quintessa before this point, and Roadburner, being a 1990 Micromaster, was never featured in the cartoon at all. For all we know, however, Soundwave's 1986/87/88 cassettes could have been with him the whole time...
  • Talking of Roadburner, his seemingly random inclusion - being the only Micromaster, the only character beyond 1988, and not coming with his partner Wheel Blaze - along with the fact Whirl is present without his Deluxe Vehicle partner, suggests that this is the second mobile game in a row Mobage has mistaken Roadburner for Roadbuster. SIGH.
  • Menasor, Superion, and Grimlock could, in theory, be forced to fit if Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is used as a point of reference, and as part of the G1 timeline and not part of the Aligned continuity family.
  • Frenzy wasn't present in the original episode, though since he appeared only a few episodes later and was a 1984 toy, his appearance here is plausible.
  • Buzzsaw also did not appear in the original episode, and appeared later in Season 2. However, he was a 1984 toy so, like Frenzy, this is considered acceptable.
  • All other characters were present in the original episode, so no problems there.
• This episode is certified Flying Autobots-free.
