Quotes[]

Megatron: "Inferno, aid Quickstrike."
Inferno: "Yes, my Queen."
Dinobot: "I was not aware you had given yourself a new title."
Megatron: [quickly] "The ant has faulty programming, but his loyalty is without question."

Notes[]

  • Lots of hint-dropping about Megatron's grand schemes in this episode. On the surface, it seems that Dinobot is dreading Megatron's plan to alter history by attacking their stasis-locked Autobot ancestors—"it will destroy Maximal and Predacon alike, and all who came before".
  • However, the matching locations of Predacon installations (presumably the same jamming towers seen in the previous episode) seems more related to the alien arrival which happens in the next episode, "Other Visits", as the jamming towers result in Tigatron and Airazor's abduction, and otherwise play little or no part in the history-altering scheme.
  • The consequences of this episode will haunt Dinobot until the day he dies.
  • Rattrap gets over Dinobot's betrayal with uncharacteristic ease, and is rather jocular towards him at the end of the episode "Maximal taxi! On the way home!" Strangely, he's way more angereded about it in episodes later, quite a while after the fact.
    • Though, this is likely more in fact due to Tigatron and Airazor being lost because of Dinobot's betrayal- which happens in the next couple episodes- that re-surges his ire towards Dinobot.
  • Megatron has shown an odd willingness to let Quickstrike be destriyed. He urged Dinobot to kill him in this fight for reasons passing understanding, and later was going to execute Quickstrike for being duped into betraying him by Tarantulas - despite letting Tarantulas, Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia get away with countless acts of betrayal themselves (Although the fact that Quickstrike came closest to succeeding may have contributed to this decision). Finally he succeeds in killing him (albeit inadvertently) in the last episode. What did Quickstrike do to the big guy?
  • Megatron testing Dinobot's loyalty by having him destroy Rattrap is ironic since both characters were in this same predicament previously, only then it was Rattrap having to destroy Dinobot (he was pretending to be a traitor at the time). Another irony is that it took Rattrap MUCH longer to "make up his mind" than it took Dinobot.

Technical/Animation Glitches[]

  • Waspinator can be spotted without his stripes.

Continuity errors[]

  • So, you can prove you're loyal to Megatron by... killing one of his troops? At least it works for the Sith.

Transformers references[]

  • Rattrap accuses Dinobot of trying to start "Great War 3".
  • Dinobot references "those who came before" as potential victims of Megatron's scheme, a thinly veiled reference to the Autobots and Decepticons.

Real-world references[]

  • Dinobot begins the episode by looking at a comparison of Megatron's outposts and the Golden Disk on a computer screen. Just after this, some Cybertronix text appears on the left. Translated to English, it reads "they killed kenny those bastards".
  • When the view through Rattrap's scanner is shown, a small wedge of cheese can be seen in the bottom right corner.
