Notes

Continuity notes

• Bumblebee notes that Starscream has gone back to his "old body-style", alluding to his similarly Generation 1-inspired look in the High Moon Studios video game series.
• Starscream flashes back to the events of the Predacons Rising television movie. Notably, Predaking is not shown perishing alongside Skylynx and Darksteel, possibly acknowledging the character's prior, living appearance in the Robots in Disguise comic.
• The design of Starscream's ship takes design cues from the Nemesis, most notably the two-pronged, pane-covered prow and the pointy bits around the engines.
• Denny Clay mentions that he and Russell have been taking the training sessions Fixit was scheduled to give them after their screw-ups in "Strongarm's Big Score".

Animation and technical errors

• Paralon has individual eyes instead of a wrap-around "visor" eyepiece as he has been shown with in every previous appearance.
