"All talk...no shock."
--Soundwave to Blaster, right as their sonic duel begins.
"Heeheeheehaahaahaahaahaahaahaaaaa...."
--Soundwave, as he momentarily gets the upper hand in the sonic duel between himself and Blaster. This is the one time in the series that Soundwave is heard actually laughing, and coming from him in that quiet, metallic monotone of his, and in this context, it is actually kinda scary.

- When confronted by the gang of thugs employed by Dancitron, Raoul suggests they "pull a Michael Jackson" (bugWHA?) and "beat it" (*sigh of relief*).
- While fleeing from the thugs, Raoul wishes their blaster (boombox) was "THE Blaster". Rocksteady retorts that Raoul "knows the Autobots like I know Prince".
Miscellaneous Trivia
- This episode is one of two pre-movie episodes to not feature Optimus Prime.
- This episode is also noteworthy for pitting the two tape decks, Soundwave and Blaster, against each other, in an intense sonic duel. It turns out that Soundwave is actually somewhat the more powerful of the two, and Blaster had to augment his output with some nearby additional speakers to best his opponent.
