Other notes
Continuity errors
Animation errors
- As Bumblebee is about to go over the closed bridge, Sari's All Spark key is stuck in his ignition... and also depicted hanging from its lanyard around her neck.
Transformers references
- Bumblebee uses the term "Big Bot", which was also Cheetor's affectionate name for Optimus Primal in Beast Wars.
- Megatron is made up of Destronium circuits. The Decepticons are called Destrons in Japan.
- Bumblebee's battle mask bears a striking similarity to the toy-face of the original Generation 1 Bumblebee toy.
- Sumdac's new police drones, first seen (sort of) in Total Meltdown, have been adopted by the Detroit police department...they still need to work out some bugs.
- Prowl can project a hologram of a police officer riding him...and the hologram has a mustache.
Real-world references
Miscellaneous trivia
- First time Bumblebee uses his battle mask.
- First time we see Bumblebee's rocket boosters.
- In this episode, Bumblebee tries to be responsible, while Sari is the one who opts for breaking the rules. Wow. That's a role reversal from previous fictions.
- Isaac Sumdac is still using Megatron's hand as a chair. For a fleshling, he's got brass.
- Bumblebee ran Nanosec, already slowed enough to make them equal, into old age on purpose for no apparent reason. That is COLD.
