Continuity notes
- It is with this episode that Alex Irvine's apocryphal story, Bumblebee at Tyger Pax, is confirmed. However, this does not place the story in the realm of canon-it is still not sanctioned by Hasbro.
Transformers references
- The T-cog is a reference to the transformation cog of G1 lore. It also controlled at least one robot's ability to transform, and when removed, has similar results.
Real-world references
- Megatron uses the term "mutually assured destruction", a longtime slogan for the effect of nuclear war.
- Knock Out references Rent-A-Car, a real-world car rental service.
Trivia
- Starscream's voice is somewhat deeper in this episodes than ones previous. It's kind of unsettling.
- In a first for the series, Bumblebee's car mode is revealed as the Urbana 500 The Urbana 500. It won't just rock your world. It'll transform it.
