Notes
Animation and technical errors
- When the flying Vehicons arrive to help retrieve the power source from the military base, the Vehicon ground units which stole it in the first place vanish.
- During his fight with Megatron, Optimus goes from perfectly fine to battered and scratched up in seconds.
Continuity notes
- Starscream demonstrated that energon does not agree with human physiology in "Darkness Rising, Part 3" and "Part 4", which Ratchet confirms here.
Transformers references
- Mountainous battlefield, crazy purple flamey lightning storms, prophecies from the Covenant of Primus... Where have we seen this before?
- Megatron and Optimus punch each other in the style of the opening credits, only on opposite sides. This isn't the first time the show has done this.
Real-world references
Trivia
- The episode was first broadcast on Canada's Teletoon channel.
