Notes
Animation and technical errors
- Since when do tidal waves just stop short? Unicron's death does not make forward momentum go away.
Continuity errors
- Why is Bulkhead the only one affected by the Dark Energon?
- Perhaps it is because Bulkhead did not have any real contact with Dark Energon up to this point in time. Megatron already had Dark Energon in his systems and blasted Bumblebee with it, and Arcee had come into contact with Dark Energon when she tried to rescue the Terrorcon Cliffjumper, but that still leaves Optimus....
- Perhaps he was protected by the Matrix of Leadership?

Continuity notes
- The entire backstory given by Ratchet is essentially the first half of Transformers: Exodus, further solidifying the fact that it lies in the same continuity as Prime.
- Interestingly, though, the Cybertronian forms of Optimus, Megatron, and Soundwave are NOT their War for Cybertron designs. Megatron's actually looks almost the same as his Prime design, but with red accents instead of purple.
Transformers references
- What Optimus previously identified as the key to the GroundBridge power supply is actually the Key to Vector Sigma.
- Which, coincidentally, looks more like Sari's AllSpark Key than anything else.
- Optimus calls upon the Matrix to "light our darkest hour."

Trivia
- This episode aired in Singapore on October 4, 2011, again preceding its American showing.
- Jack is clearly taking very good care of that Key Optimus gave him... by idly tapping it against a railing.
- According to the flashbacks, Megatron's optics are blue until he is rejected by the Council and storms out angrily.
- Fowler hugs June. Make of that what you will.
