    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Many Transformers fans think of this episode as the worst in the department of story-telling. It has various plot and animation oddities, and the characters are rather unlikable as well. Above that, the villains' plan is so over-complicated, that it hardly makes sense.
    • Goofs
      After Bruticus is blown to pieces, Swindle comes out of the junk pile from beneath yellow board, although the only yellow part of Bruticus is Swindle himself.

      • Brawl: You two-faced pipsqueak! Stay behind me! Huh!
      • [Brawl shoves Swindle, knocking him over. The Combaticons advance down the street]
      • Onslaught: Combaticons, form Bruticus!
      • [the Combaticons combine into Bruticus. People run away in fear. Then, a shot hits Bruticus in the chest, blowing him to million pieces. Defensor, who fired that shot, appears.
