Lost in translation
- Jetfire claims that Ironhide needs to "synchronize his breathing" in order for them to combine. Err, right. In the original version, he talked about feeling the pulse of his Spark of Combination.
- The dub presents the Autobots manning Mars City as Mini-Cons, when in actuality, they're Optimus Prime's own team of trainees, as seen in the first episode of the series. This is why Ironhide is so determined to accompany Prime's team to Mars (to save his old friends), and why Prime and he share an emotional moment at the end of the episode (because they fail to save them).
- In one of the more famous Energon dub gaffes, Alpha Q claims that the Megatron Sword is the Star Saber, which makes absolutely no sense. Likewise, all the characters' reactions to the sword are dubbed as them recognizing it as Megatron's, when he never used it before.
Animation and/or technical glitches
- In the Energon version of this episode, when Scorponok destroys Optimus Prime's Prime Force drone units with a sweep of the Megatron Sword, instead of properly animated explosions, pulsating red circles appear.
