Several famous Transformers phrases are spoken in this episode:
- Ratchet says "Then by all means, let us light our darkest hour.", referencing the original Optimus Prime's famous words from The Transformers: The Movie (1986).
- Optimus Prime himself also quotes a famous sentence ("One shall stand, one shall fall."), which also originates from The Transformers: The Movie (1986), but has been used in several other Transformers media since, including Transformers (2007) and Transformers: War for Cybertron (2010).
It is revealed that some Decepticon drones transform into jets. Up to this point, the ones that appeared could only turn into cars.
