Quotes
Megatron: Starscream, you incompetant malfunction! Your utter failure has reached astronomical proportions. (Starscream in the meantime is only a floating head and is using his teeth to open Megatron's stasis cuffs.) Starscream: Maybe I'd have better luck removing these stasis cuffs if you had reattached my head to my body! Maybe we'd wouldn't be floating here helplessly if you hadn't overloaded a space bridge! Are you sensing a pattern here? This... is... all... your... FAULT!
 * Starscream decides to vent his frustrations on Megatron.

Stascream: Omega Supreme! We're slagged... Wait, don't shoot! He's the one you want! Megatron: Silence fool!
 * Omega Supreme appears, Starscream attempts to save his own hide.

Masterson/Headmaster: Attention Burger Bot diners! Cleanup was so sappy it makes me want to hurl moment in the parking lot! Snack times over n00bs! Prepare for TOT! Total ownge time! (to Optumus) Back off Lumberjack! This is between me and the happy little Sumdac family! Sari: (angrily) Happy family? Boy did he get the wrong Sumdac!
 * Henry Masterson/The Headmaster attacks Burger Bot where Optumus Prime, Proffesor Sumdac and Sari are, while he is controlling Starscreams body.

Masterson/Headmaster:Oh man! How do you roll over with these wings!?

Masterson/Headmaster: (As Starscreams body is transforming and crushing the Headmaster unit) So, I guess the bot who's body I jacked, his head is a lot smaller. (Head master unit pops off of Starscream's body and falls to the ground) Not cooooolllll!

Omega Supreme: (To Ratchet as he comes online) I am Omega Supreme. I am yours to command. I am your pupil, your dependent, your obedient servant. Ratchet: I am Ratchet. I am...your friend.
 * Ratchet and Omega Supreme introduce themselves.

Prowl: You go, I'll stay here with Bumblebee. Ratchet: Try to keep him quiet. Prowl: ...you do realize... this is Bumblebee?
 * Ratchet asks the impossible.

Optimus Prime: We need to lead him outside the city before someone gets hurt. Bumblebee: Someone like us maybe?!
 * Bumblebee desperately wanting to stay online as a Megatron controlled Omega Supreme attacks them.

Megatron: It appears you and I are destined to battle on this ship once more, Autobot. Optimus Prime: Bring it on, Decepticon.
 * One shall stand, one shall fall... and ooh that last part rhymes.

Ultra Magnus: Also, try to contact Optimus Prime's team on Earth. It's been deca-cycles since we've heard from them. Longarm Prime/Shockwave: All communications with Optimus Prime's crew should be filtered through me first! No exceptions! Autobots stare at Longarm Prime. Longarm Prime/Shockwave: (smirking) For...security's sake, of course. And for the sake of all Cybertron!
 * Shockwave tricks the Autobots into stopping Optimus Prime from revealing his big secret...

Animation errors

 * When Ironhide and Brawn are tied up, Brawn is in his vehicle mode.


 * When Ratchet's flashback of Omega's construction is finished, Sari's shirt sleeve is unexplainingly repaired.


 * Starscream's body is completely repaired when the commercial break ends and the screen shows the fight at the Burger Bot.

Continuity errors

 * In Autoboot Camp, Longarm is depicted as being a little taller than Bumblebee. In A Bridge Too Close, Part I, Blurr is also showed as being slightly taller than Bumblebee.  So, in theory, Blurr and Longarm should be the same height, but Longarm is shown towering over Blurr in this episode.  (Then again, he DOES have extendable limbs.)
 * Hot Shot loses his leg. However, when he's surrounded by Team Charr and changes sitting position to take scope, his leg is reattached.  Maybe Red Alert was joking and works fast?

Transformers references

 * This marks the first episode(s) where the planet Cybertron (on the surface)is actualy shown.
 * The background music playing while Longarm Prime drives up the ramp on Cybertron's surface sounds very similar to the music playing while Kranix's homeworld is being shown in the G1 movie.

Real-world references

 * The Asteroid Monster Sari battled bears a resemblence to the GoBots spinoff product, Rock Lords; the one Sari fought, however, was a lot cooler.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * This is not first the Headmaster unit changed his facial expression. But unlike the previous episode, it was changed more.
 * Ultra Magnus is still in his Earth mode. It can be told because he looks quite different in the flashbacks. It would seem so are Jazz and Sentinel.
 * The Base that Shockwave enters to "deposit" Blurrs remains looks strikingly similar to one particular City-bot. Hmmmm....
 * Optimus, apparently, is a terrible liar...
 * Omega Supreme is easily influenced. That's kind of scary when you think about it.
