Other notes

Continuity errors

• Ratchet seems to feel that the existence of robot dinosaurs is impossible...despite having fought the robot dinosaurs in question in Blast from the Past. Maybe he's going senile.

Transformers references

They've got the power to surprise.

• Meltdown's genetically engineered minions (previous failed attempts at producing "human transformers") bear a striking resemblance to the Generation 1 Pretenders Bomb-Burst and Submarauder.

Miscellaneous trivia

• This is the first episode where Snarl and Swoop transform.
• Bumblebee appears in this episode, but doesn't speak.
