Notes
Continuity notes
Transformers references

- As is the norm at this point, Optimus Prime began as the humble Orion Pax, although his past as a manual labourer specifically evokes his backstory in the The Transformers episode "War Dawn". The idea that Orion received the Matrix from a Prime—specifically, what appears to be a version of Alpha Trion—has its roots in the episode "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4", which established that Trion had safeguarded the Matrix for eons, waiting for a 'bot worthy of carrying the artifact; this plot beat also made its way into the "Aligned" continuity, and, more recently, the Cyberverse cartoon episode "Matrix of Leadership".
- Optimus Prime's brief flashback features our first look at the Thirteen original Transformers of this universe. As evidenced by the apparent lack of Micronus Prime, the Primes either don't match up to the traditional roster introduced in The Covenant of Primus, or else they've been drastically redesigned. However, each member of the Thirteen is shown holding one object or weapon, many of which correspond to a pre-existing artifact. Recognizable artifacts include what might be the Forge of Solus Prime, Megatronus's Requiem Blaster, the Matrix of Leadership, held by what appears to be a version of Alpha Trion, the Enigma of Combination, the Triptych Mask, what may be Amalgamous Prime holding the Transformation Cog as it appeared in Transformers #34, and the Star Saber. The other artifacts and their bearers are too abstract to draw any concrete connections, although the two 'bots on the far right are probably meant to be incarnations of Liege Maximo and Vector Prime.
