Quotes
"It's a trap!"
"Would this be a 'roll out' kind of trap?"
- —Optimus Prime ackbars and Arcee continues to be genre savvy
"You're making a very big mistake, little man. When I'm done with you they'll have to scrape you of the floor!"
- —Breakdown promises to make jam out of Silas.
Notes
Animation and technical errors
Continuity errors
- MECH can carve up Breakdown with ease with their surgical lasers, but the guns they give their footsoldiers seemingly have no effect on Transformers. Clearly MECH's footsoldiers should be equipped with their surgical lasers?
Transformers references
Foreign dubbing
Real-world references
- Miko plays the game "Marco Polo" with Bulkhead. Bulkhead later plays the game with MECH.
Trivia
- The episode was screened at BotCon 2011 before its first airing on television.
- This is the first episode of the series that Jack hasn't appeared in.
- Miko seems to have learned her lesson: she didn't follow Bulkhead this time.
- Bulkhead, Miko, and Fowler watch Dinolizard vs. Five-Headed Ape.
- Human death must have occurred during Bulkhead and Breakdown's outdoor battle with MECH. Case in point: Breakdown throwing a car at a helicopter causing a midair explosion.
