Notes

Real-world references

• The way the Lost Bots were going to throw Ring-a-ling into the 'fiery dumpster from which none return' is a shout-out to "Lord Of The Ring" and how the one ring needed to be destroy by throwing it in the lava of Mount Doom.
  • At one point Burgertron refer to the phone "Precious" clearly channeling Gallum.
