Summary
Extended summary

Technical/Animation Glitches

 * As Rampage walks on the rocks to enter the water to meet Depth Charge, he walks forward, despite the fact that crabs can only walk sideways. Then again, Manta Rays don't fly.

Transformers References

 * When Depth Charge first enters Earth's solar system, he is informed by his ship's navi-computer that the area was declared off-limits by order of the High Council. This is a reference to backstory given by the story-editors that never got explicitly mentioned on the show, but was spelled out by their posts on the Internet, wherein Earth is off-limits because of some undecided-upon catastrophe, and to protect it from time-altering thieves such as Megatron.
