Notable quotes
"Sky-Byte hasn't beaten us yet, but he's sneaky, clever and dangerous [yes, seriously] and he'll do just about anything to carry out a mission"

"Yes, and when he went after the bomb device hidden in that red sports car, he almost succeeded."
 * -Optimus Prime

Other notes

 * Every single bit of animation is recycled from the past 12 episodes. All of it. This means the Spychangers and Predacons have an exact replica of their first battle.


 * The An Explosive Situation footage and the Autobots' recollections of the episode now refers to a "device" instead of a bomb, presumably due to the September 11 terrorist attacks.


 * Midnight Express states the Autobot "sky-spies" are searching for Dr. Onishi 24/7. (Not very effective, were they?)


 * The Autobots work out the Predacon base is located underwater, based on the events of The Hunt for Black Pyramid.


 * At the 4:49 point, in the Battle Protocol stock footage, a voice can be heard in the crowd going "Megatron's back!"... in response to Megatron's first attack. Potential easter egg reference to previous shows?
