Notes
- Roberts had been asked to pen MTMTE before writing Chaos Theory. He included Whirl as the prison guard in the story knowing he would become a regular in MTMTE. [1]
- When Costa and Roberts co-plotted Chaos, Costa let Roberts script all of the Kimia escape shuttle scenes knowing that Chromedome, Brainstorm, Swerve etc would be boarding the Lost Light. [1]
