Quotes
"So good of you to join me."
- —Shockwave welcomes a strapped down Alpha Trion to his tower.
Rodimus: "I have a question."
Prowl: "Yes?"
Rodimus: "Who gets to fly the ship down?"
Ironhide: "Nobody, Teletraan-I will be handling the drop."
Rodimus: "Aw, where's the fun in that?"
- —Rodimus' question leads to disappointment.
"Hey, Kup, any of this look familiar to you?"
"Seems like I've seen it before. But not sure where."
"Any idea what those runes mean?"
"Not a clue, sonny. I just know they have to be old."
"I thought you were old."
"Old enough not to find you funny."
- —Rodimus and Kup talk about old ruins and old age.
"Glad you guys are okay. Want to give control back to Teletraan-I?"
"Not particularly."
- —Perceptor asks if Rodimus is ready for someone else to pilot the ship, which he's not.
Notes
- Rodimus' weapon of choice is the same as his Animated counterpart.
- Similar to how Kranix was fed to the Sharkticons in the 1986 film; Brawn, Ramjet, Blaster, Hotlink, and Thundercracker are fed to Piranhacons.
- The Autobot that died with Thundercracker is unknown.
- When Megatron places the Matrix replica into his chest, his new body is clearly based off the Beast Hunters Voyager Sharkticon Megatron figure.
Errors
- On page 19 a Seeker named Debris says he's picking up energy readings. This is clearly a typo for Dirge as Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet are the only ones sent out.
- On page 206, Sunstreaker states that Bluestreak, Trailcutter, Mirage, and he could retrieve Optimus Prime using a combat shuttle, but Chapter 7: The Golden Age in The Covenant of Primus shows that Bluestreak was left on Archon when the Space Bridges were shutdown due to the Rust Plague.
- On page 327 Skywarp is flying beside the Ark when he was devoured by Gnaw.
- On page 328 Ramjet is helping Megatron when he was one of the first ripped apart by the Piranhacons.
