Notes
Continuity notes
- The prologue occurs after this chapter; Optimus Prime's injuries at the hands of Galvatron are seen in this issue. Additionally, Grimlock is seen brawling with Prowl, Inferno, and Ratchet, who were also thrown out with Prime.
- Five years later, it's finally revealed what Wheeljack did with the Forestonite sample he got from Slicer back in "Generation 2: Redux"—he used as part of a failed attempt to re-energize the Terminus Blade for Ultra Magnus.
- Nexus Prime returns, having last been seen over five years prior in "The Coming Storm: Part 1". He completes the reassembly of the Star Saber, a plot that has, in effect, been building over ten years, since the very start of the Collectors' Club magazine storyline, although it was first mentioned in his profile in #30. This is also the first time his components have been seen separated since "Reunification: Part 5".
- Galvatron was resurrected by Nexus Prime in "Reunification: Part 6", providing him with a connection to the Thirteen.
Transformers references
- The Shattered Glass version of Weirdwolf is seen being menaced by Rewind and Chromedome; he's based on his positive universe counterpart, in the colors of Autobot Headmaster Highbrow.
- This issue continues the "Shatteredverse" take on The Transformers: The Movie, complete with paraphrased dialogue. Optimus falls after being gunned down, like Megatron. Rodimus calls for Sky Lynx to evacuate the Autobots, like Starscream did with Astrotrain. Optimus has Blaster bring him back to the ship, like Megatron did with Soundwave. And Starscream celebrates the Autobots retreat, as Kup did with the Decepticons.
- Rewind has a camera on his left temple, much like his counterpart in the original IDW Publishing comics continuity.
Errors
- Sky Lynx is seen menacing a small black-and-red Decepticon. The general shape and size of the Decepticon suggests he might be Krunix, Cyclonus' Targetmaster partner, but if so, the colors don't match up.
Other trivia
- Chromedome gets around by flying, and is equipped with tentacles.
