Notes

• Sandstorm and Acid Storm appear in their Generations Thrilling 30 and Universe bodies respectively.
• Several characters appear as "virtual" redecoes/retools of existing toys:
  • Rotorstorm from Generations Fall of Cybertron Vortex.
  • Turbofire from Generations Thrilling 30 Trailcutter.
  • Eagle Eye from Generations Thrilling 30 Armada Starscream.
  • Blue Bacchus from Transformers Tomahawk.
  • Nightracer from Generations Thrilling 30 Tailgate.

Transformers references

• Nacelle misremembers the tunnel he leads his team to as the one used by the Female Autobots back in "The Search for Alpha Trion". Instead, it actually turns out to be the one Spike Witwicky and Carly used to escape Shockwave in "Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2".
• A Cybertronian rat seen in the space bridge complex is based on Transmetal Rattrap's "vehicle" mode, sans tail.
• Oilmaster refers to Magnificus as being Mebian; Mebion was the Cybertronian settlement ruled by Magnificus in his original e-HOBBY toy bio. Indeed, Oilmaster and Magnificus being partnered up at all is a reference to "Badlands", the e-HOBBY comic that paired them off in the first place, which was also available through the Collectors' Club.
