Quotes
"I can has cheeseburger!"
- — Yes, Agent Fowler actually said that
Notes
Animation and technical errors
- Both of Bulkhead's maces silently transform as he is first fighting Hardshell.
Continuity notes
- This is the final episode of the four-part relic-hunting arc, which all happen concurrently. This episode focuses on Bulkhead and Fowler. Fowler's handling of Vogel in "Tunnel Vision" and the Antarctic research base in "Triangulation" are shown from his point of view. Raf is also seen programming the virus that Ratchet installs in Laserbeak in "Triage". The ending scene is the same as in "Triage".
- Fowler makes mention of his old Army Ranger days, which he first mentioned in "Nemesis Prime".
- Bulkhead flashes back to numerous episodes from the first season, first to battle scenes, then to scenes with Miko.
Transformers references
- Hardshell is the modern name for the G1 Insecticon Bombshell.
Real-world references
- While still recovering from the events of dark energon from a previous episode, Fowler blurts out "I can has cheeseburger"; which is a popular site for Internet memes.
Trivia
- While in the past the Wreckers have generally been a small, closely-knit unit (despite their horrific attrition rates), Hardshell noting he's faced Wreckers numerous times suggests the team is much larger in the Aligned continuity.
