Real-world references

• Black Arachnia uses a certain form of webslinging reminiscent of Spider-Man after she captures Sari.

Miscellaneous trivia

• This is the first episode to not feature Ratchet or Prowl
• The clicking noise that the giant organic spiders make sounds somewhat like the clicking noises of the Predator aliens from the Predator movies, which was created by none other than Peter Cullen, voice of G1 Optimus Prime.
• There is a discarded helmet in a corner of the abandoned Decepticon warship, Blackarachnia might have picked it up to cover her face after her reformatting.
