Notes
Technical/Animation Glitches
- When Tankor appears at the end of the episode, his model is missing the lights that are usually attached to his head in robot mode. You can even see this error in the preview picture on this page. Oddly enough, this error persists for quite a few episodes, particularly when Tankor is seen underground with the Diagnostic Drone.
Continuity Errors
- In the original G1 series the key's organic-to-technologic properties were described as being a "radically different effect" when the key was used on Earth. However, Beast Machines treats this property as normal behavior for the key, even on Cybertron.
Transformers References
- The Key to Vector Sigma was an important plot device during the G1 storyline, in particular, during two episodes of the same name.
Real-World References

Trivia
- The decoy body that Tankor uses to fake his death is later revealed to be a hologram, which disappears when Tankor retrieves the key. Oddly enough, the decoy's shoulder cannon seems solid enough to be cut through by Tankor's saw.
