Quotes
Bumblebee: Hate to say it, but Sentinel's got a point. I'd feel a lot safer with Wasp behind bars.
Optimus: That's not your call to make, Bumblebee.
Sentinel: It's not your decision either, Optimus. I'm in command.
Optimus: On Cybertron. This is my jurisdiction, Sentinel.
Sentinel: This is a Cybertronian fugitive, and I'll enforce my authority as the...the uh...primer Prime!
Optimus: Did you just make that up?!
Sentinel: No!
Optimus: There's no such thing as a Primer Prime!
Sentinel: It's a real term. Look it up.
Optimus: I'm not gonna look it up!
- —Optimus and Sentinel engage in what can be politely described as a pissing contest.
Notes
Animation or technical errors
Continuity errors
Transformers references
- At the end of the episode, Blackarachnia comes face to face with a gorilla, a rhino, a cheetah, and a rat.
Real-world references
- When Blackarachnia presses some buttons on her computer, they sound the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- The transwarp experimentation chambers look and function exactly like the telepods from David Cronenberg's The Fly.
Trivia
- That's now four episodes in a row without a single mention of Sari. C'mon, guys, just a little thought isn't that hard to do...
- The rat near the ending may be really big, or really close.
- OK, we all know that it's first and foremost a huge, gratuitous, fan-service, here, but what are a rat, a rhinoceros, a gorilla and a cheetah doing together, seriously ?
- Is it really gratuitous fan-service?
