Quotes
"We will depart this realm shortly for yours. Prepare for our arrival. Or you will be deactivated. Painfully."
- —Soundwave ensures the Pack knows where they stand.
"Do we have to wear disguises even in the grocery store? I don't think Steeljaw is going to attack me in the deli aisle."
- —The great wizard Russell is perturbed.
"I've always wanted to open you up and see what makes you tick."
- —Once again, Steeljaw has Bumblebee at his mercy and forgets what kind of cartoon he's in
Notes
Continuity notes
- The (very unrealistically configured) nuclear waste disposal site was previously visited in the season-opening two-parter.
- Soundwave and the Activator Mini-Cons have been working on a secret project in the Shadowzone through the season, but this is the first time it's indicated they're associated with Steeljaw's Pack's "benefactors".
- The Pack are forced to help a powerful Decepticon who is trapped in another dimension, yet again.
Transformers references
- Thunderhoof's description of Steeljaw being "forged" draws off IDW Publishing's ongoing continuity, where the term is applied to Cybertronians who were created through one of two different methods.
Real-world references
Errors
- Bumblebee's Autobot insignia reappears on his chest after Steeljaw took it off by a jackhammer.
- While hydrochloric acid is used to balance the PH levels in swimming pools, it still seems very improbable that a swimming supplies warehouse would have several large canisters filled with a (very concentrated) corrosive solution.
