Quotes
"Did you hear what Soundwave said the other day? He--"<br /> "No."<br /> A pause.<br /> "Do you want to go get a can of oil after our shift is over?"<br /> "No."<br /> "That's cool. Maybe some other time."<br /> "Probably not."<br />
- — Unnamed Scooter and Cy-kill guard Shockwave's lab
"Do you see, Skyfall? Do you see the terrible burden I bear? What the sword makes me do?"<br />
- — Alpha Trion is kind of not all there
"Prepare yourself for battle, Science Minister."<br />
- — Megatron adds to Shockwave's job description
Notes
- Two TransTechs that strongly resemble the Tonka GoBots characters Cy-Kill and Scooter guard Shockwave's lab compound. They're unnamed.
- Speaking of which, add another Cy-Kill death to the pile. Yay.
- Immorticon, Scavenger, Blackarachnia, and Depth Charge are based on their unused Transtech designs, of course.
- Artist Evan Gauntt depicts Skyfall's forcefield as a series of interlocking hexagons, rather than the solid sphere that Dan Khanna drew.
- The fan reaction to Cy-Kill and Scooter's deaths resulted in Pete Sinclair stating that this would be the last GoBot death scene in Fan Club works.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
