Notes
Transformers references
- Bumblebee mentions a former seeker named Dreadwing. Whether this refers to the combined Powermaster jet, the alternate name for one of those said Powermasters, or the Generation 2 stealth bomber is unknown. Although him being a seeker would be reminiscent of the one from Prime who was captain of the seekers.
- The Sea of Rust is a location on Cybertron well known to fans of the franchise, notably being the stated place of origin for the Rust Renegades in the Combiner Wars toyline.
Animation and technical errors
- Like his red clone in episode 2, Cog's torso piece disappears when he combines with Arcee.
Trivia
- While both Arcee and Cliffjumper got their own new toys in Earthrise, the designs for them were presumably not ready to be used in the Siege cartoon. As a result, Cliffjumper uses Bumblebee's recolored character model, while Arcee uses a new model based on her general character design rather than any pre-existing toy, similar to Bumblebee and Elita-1.
- Moonracer's model is mostly reskinned from Chromia, with grenades added on to her backpack.
- Sooundblaster's model sports a few differences from his Siege toy, namely additional black parts, a flatter chest, and a Mercenary symbol instead of a Decepticon badge.
