Notes

Continuity notes

  • Wild Wheel's stasis pod was one of those seen getting sucked out of the Ark during Grimlock's flashback in "King of the Dinosaurs". (Hey, we totally called that it would be plot-relevant one day!)
  • Perceptor seems to have taken over Maccadam's bar since his demise in "The End Of The Universe III".
  • Speaking of Perceptor, his optics are still fried from his prison break in "The Battle For Cybertron I". Even if his microscope fills in for them just fine, you'd think Ratchet would at least take a look at them.

Transformers references

  • In his flashback, Wild Wheel can be heard calling to Jazz; believe it or not, there is a Jazz kicking it in Cyberverse.

Real-world references

  • This episode features everything from a typical wild west show, including a ranch, bar scenes, creature riding and even a showdown.
  • Though Wild Wheel himself is an entirely new character created for this episode, his design—namely the hat, poncho, and gun-slinging skills—are based on the Man with No Name of Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy".

Other trivia

  • In fairness to Wild Wheel's grudge, irrational and misplaced though it may be, in all this time none of his former crewmates have been shown sparing even a passing thought for him or his whereabouts. No wonder he's pissed. Of course, the out-of-universe explanation is that Wild Wheel was not conceived until this episode.
