Miscellaneous trivia

• Symultech Industries, the company that custom-built Auggie Cahnay's car, would later be mentioned in Hirofumi Ichikawa's Binaltech story. According to Dead End's system description, Symultech was responsible for building the body that was originally intended for Sunstreaker, but ended up getting hijacked by the Decepticons to create BT Dead End.
• Auggie Cahnay was mentioned in the American dub of the Robots in Disguise episode Skid-Z's Choice. There, he was stated as having deceased, and Skid-Z was seemingly possessed by his spirit. Likewise, that episode eatured a race called the Europa 400, supposedly named after the Europa 2000 from this episode.
