Trivia

• Rattletrap is obviously an homage to Rattrap from Beast Wars, specifically his Dawn of Future's Past Cybertronian form. However, he's much more willing to work with Decepticons than the original was... Except for that one time in Beast Machines.
• Rattletrap's face was given to Peaugh in the form of a Twitter avatar as a gift from Derrick Wyatt. Little did he know it was a spoiler in disguise!
• Rattletrap's voice owes a little more to Lou Costello than usual.
