Notes

Transformers references

  • The Autobots and Decepticons hail from a very G1 cartoon-esque universe. The Space Bridge here is clearly based on the cartoon design and the Transformers characters who appear are mostly the Season 1 cast (barring Hot Rod's cameo in the epilogue). Just about the only thing that prevents this series from being in-continuity with the actual G1 cartoon is how Starscream is outright killed at the climax of the story and his ghost is spirited away by the hooded observers.

Mazinger Z references

  • Soundwave's description of Photonic Energy being extremely pure and efficient is precisely why Dr. Hell was so adamant to get his hands on it: powered by Photonic Energy his Mechanical Beasts would be virtually unstoppable. In-universe, Photonic Energy was originally developed by Kouji's grandfather Dr Kabuto as a potent and clean new form of energy.
  • The appearance of Great Mazinger in the epilogue could be seen as a reference to how Great Mazinger was the direct sequel to Mazinger Z. In fact, Great Mazinger was one of the very first series to ever be a direct sequel to a prior one.
