Notes

• The British comic replaces the reference with V.
• This wouldn't be the last time a television program gave Transformers a low opinion of humans, as shown in "The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2".
• In Robots in Disguise, Drag Strip's portrayal in the show owes something to Ralph Kramden, who is played by legendary actor and comedian Jackie Gleason, in particular Drag Strip's frequent utterance of Ralph's threatening catchphrase "One of these days...". Meanwhile, the characterization of Drag Strip's Stunticon partner-in-crime Wildbreak is inspired by Ralph's friend Ed Norton.
• In the Beast Wars story Visitations, Onyx Primal's voice is loosely based on Ralph's while Packrat's speech patterns are based on Ed's.
