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?
Continuity notes
- The entire backstory given by Ratchet is essentially the first half of Transformers: Exodus.
- One particular curiosity is that this episode implies how Orion Pax became Optimus Prime upon receiving the Matrix from Cybertron's core, whereas in Exodus the Council made him Prime in order to search for the Matrix.
Transformers references
- What Optimus previously identified as the key to the GroundBridge power supply is actually the Key to Vector Sigma.
- Optimus calls upon the Matrix to "light our darkest hour".
Real-world references
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.
