Quotes
"I've just never understood why in order for our kind to succeed, others must suffer."
"Oh, they don't have to suffer, Cyberwarp. That's just a happy bonus."
"You're taking too much pleasure in this, Cyclonus."
"And you're not taking enough."
- —Cyberwarp realizes Cyclonus might possibly not be the best boss.
"When I first came to Earth I wanted a planet. Any planet, to rule as a Decepticon homeworld. But, I've come to like this world. And if the High Council conquers Earth, I can't have it."
- —Steeljaw keeps his stuff here.
Notes
Continuity notes
- Nearly seventy Autobot profile images flash past as Optimus describes the 'bots who are wanted for associating with him. The list includes the obvious characters, like the cast of Robots in Disguise (Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Grimlock, Fixit, Drift, Jetstorm, Slipstream, Windblade and Jazz), his old Prime team (Ratchet, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Smokescreen, who is now sporting a Generation 1-inspired red-and-blue color scheme), and the complete compliment of Rescue Bots (Heatwave, Chase, Blades, Boulder, High Tide, Blurr, Salvage, and Quickshadow), and also many, many others, most of whom have not appeared in animated form in the Aligned continuity family before now, and some who have never even appeared before now! As of this writing, the lack of a full high-resolution version of the episode means not every character has been identified, and indeed, may not be identifiable even at the highest resolution because of how small their image is, but the aim seems to be to feature a complete roster of classic Autobot Cars and Mini Vehicles from 1984 through to 1986, with a few other famous classic characters thrown in. Identified 'bots include: Rodimus, Tracks, Kup, Hoist, Hound, Red Alert, Jetfire, Sunstreaker, Perceptor, Swerve, Trailbreaker, Elita One, Firestar, Gears, Inferno, Ironhide, Tailgate, Mirage, Pipes, Springer, Wreck-Gar, Skids, Windcharger, and Seaspray.
