Notes

Trivia

• A 12-minute sneak preview of this episode was made available On Demand on February 10, 2012.

Megatron warns that any Decepticon to call Orion Pax Optimus Prime would have their vocal processor torn out, Breakdown who called him Optimus Prime in the finale of season 1 does not speak in this episode.

Knockout is the Decepticon who "tattoos" Optimus with the Decepticon insignia. The process is done with a blowtorch.

Sierra shows that she has feelings for Jack yet again, but Arcee's rider drone causes her to believe Jack is involved with an older woman, Arcee's rider had been previously seen in the episode Convoy.
