[Just my notes for the moment; I expect Phil will have some things to say about CR06 as well, in his own time. --G.]

[116] Exactly what it is Priss is trying to do is something we'll have to explore later.

[176] The Transformers: Energon-style Galvatron, in terns of physical configuration, though obviously he isn't supposed to be that character - he's another iteration of the "original" model, as seen in Hammer Time.

[256] Of "Cyclonus, the warrior, and his" fame.

[323] Seriously, what is with that?

[411] Whatever a C-beam may happen to be.

[633] We knew going into this project that Starscream had to say this sometime, preferably on an occasion when it would turn out to be true.

[638] Ultrafans may recognize this move as Ultraman Taro's signature finisher, Ultra Dynamite. Few Transformers can perform it with conviction.

[717] This is one of my favorite bits of dialogue in this whole series thus far. Skywarp sort of stole this scene unexpectedly. His inaccuracy when teleporting at extreme range and his general need for supervision come straight from his old Tech Specs.

[850] She means 1992, when anyone involved in the Wedge's emergency launch from Earth at the end of the original Undocumented Features had the opportunity to go back to Earth rather than stay signed up for Really Wild Space Adventures. The operation to return those who wished to go home was shown in UF 2, The Long Road.

[918] Reflects a conversation Terror and Cheryl Zukowsky had over in Rogue Squadron, and also ties into one of the design goals we had for the Cybertron Dreams revamp from the beginning, which was, "No casual binary bondings."

[1020] No accidental binary bondings, either.

[1086] Because of the damage to Megatron's gun barrel shown in the amazing Fred Perry illustration Phil commissioned to depict an earlier point in this fight, we had to lose the diamond-arc muzzle moment from the Cybertron Dreams version, but frankly I think the Ultimate Raving Beam of Death image that replaces it easily rocks as much, and has a much higher general "Megatron! Fuck yeah!" quotient (if arguably a somewhat lower Priss one).

[1145] I have a lot of love for the way Thundercracker came across here, too. It's kind of the "all Seekers have their moment" episode.

[1234] Kitbash is an original character based on a theoretical repaint/retool of the Transformers Animated Arcee toy.

[1290] One gets the impression that they've had this conversation often, starting long before Megatron was actually Kitbash's superior.

[1312] I like the way this bit unfolds a lot better than the rather wordier original. It's basically Megatron saying, without saying it, "I'm Megatron, and even in my present condition I will do whatever the hell I want."

[1344] Megatron had always intended to hand Blue over to Onslaught for the final phase of the game; he just didn't anticipate doing so because he was genuinely incapacitated.
