Notes

Transformers references

• Logos probably refers to Logos Prime, who ran into the Beast Wars Megatron and Optimus in Beast Wars Reborn.
• Logos sees seven Primes, much as Revenge of the Fallen had only seven original Primes instead of the more standard thirteen.
• The book refers to the colonies of Chela, Navitas, Prion, Carcer, Vigilem, Tempo, and Caminus, all lost Titans that founded colonies in the IDW series.
• Logos foresees seven Golden Disks. Translating the purple prose, one is the Sounds of Earth launched on Voyager and the great time-spanning war it foretells is the Great War that will reach Earth in 1984.
• The dread figure he foresees is Beast Wars Megatron (who "took the name of the fallen devil of yore", meaning the original Megs but Logos mistakes this for Megatronus). Megatron as a prophesised terror was done in "Nemesis Part 2", where it turns out there's a mythical Megatron in the Covenant of Primus and that myth turns out to be himself.

Real world references

• The Book of Logos uses a lot of text from the Bible's Book of Revelation, with some words altered: "the seven colonies which strewn through the stars", for example, is the Transformer equivalent of John writing to the "seven churches in the province of Asia"; the phrase "I am the Alpha and Omega" becomes "Alpha and Omega Trion", the alleged first and last of the species; the seven seals are seven Golden Disks; Megatron replaces Jesus Christ in a vision that strikes Logos dead; rather than the Throne of Heaven, he sees the Builders Assembly symbolically oppressing the proto-races.
