Transformers References
- The entire three-part season finale, The Agenda, is a reference to the original G1 cartoon. In this part, Ravage, the rebuilt Decepticon, is dispatched to the Maximals to assist them in capturing Megatron (who the Predacons see as a dangerous rebel as well, not knowing his true motives, which are revealed in the third part.)
Real-World References
- Six Lasers Over Cybertron, which Cheetor gets excited about, is a reference to Six Flags over various states.
- Rattrap speaks of places in Cybertron where the serverbots walk around "minus their torso plates" and then does sort of a "wink wink, nudge nudge" toward Silverbolt. He's referencing strip clubs, of course.
