* As [[https://twitter.com/TKMZ0/status/1421167535354007553 noted here]], Hordak's [[spoiler: , Horde Prime's, and other Horde Prime clones]] designs are based on and reference [[spoiler: their]] past incarnations.[[note]]For details, Hordak himself is more or less a combination of his Filmation and Masters of the Universe Classics/MOTUC incarnations, with some elements of Prince Zed and corporal Romeo, [[spoiler: the latter two being even more evident after Horde Prime resets him, and in other clones. Horde Prime himself takes a lot from his his DC/MOTUC incarnation (his skirt, pauldrons, the bigger less detailed Horde symbol on his chest, and growths on both sides of his mouth) and Hordak's cyborg body/shell in DC comics (general light and gray coloration, and cyber dreadlocks), with his eyes being based on his (Horde Prime's) incarnation's eyes in UK comics. His true form, as noted bellow, being a callback to his Filmation incarnation.]][[/note]]

* The [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EeNeFYAWoAEQBMS?format=jpg&name=large shot of the Rebellion]] near the end of "The Battle of Bright Moon" [[spoiler:right before they defeat the invading Horde forces]], is a direct tribute to [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/00/48/c6/0048c6e9090587f27d4ea5c18436a992.jpg shot of the Rebellion]] in the opening of the original She-Ra cartoon.



** Melog's role also [[CompositeCharacter references Clawdeen]], who was excluded from the new show for being too similar to [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Lion]].

** Melog's role also [[CompositeCharacter references Clawdeen]], who was excluded from the new show for being too similar to [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Lion]]. And like Clawdeen in the UK Princess of Power magazine comics, Melog essentially gave Catra the ability to use magic.
** Melog's ability to render themselves, others and objects invisible, is the same the as that of Magicats in the Filmation She-Ra series. And just like in the Filmation episode "Magicats", Purcival [[spoiler: used his magic to allow the Rebellion to sneak through Horde forces, in "Shot in the Dark", Melog magic rendering Darla invisible and undetectable, allowed Adora, Catra, Bow, Glimmer, Entrapta and Wrong Hordak to sneak back to Etheria though the blockade of Horde Armada ships]].

* The design of the EldritchAbomination summoned by the spell of obtainment, [[spoiler: and that merged with Light Spinner]], is extremely similar to [[https://catulhu333.tumblr.com/post/702099161369182208/lemaistrechat-ilikekidsshows-he-can-just-zap the Eldritch Abomination summoned by Skeletor]] in the ''2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' episode "History".

** It, and the story of Adora losing the ability of transforming into She-Ra due to the Sword of Protection becoming damaged in some way, [[spoiler: and Adora spending time to regain this ability in season 5]], also resembles the storyline of the Filmation She-Ra episode "The Stone in the Sword". Especially like it was implied in the Filmation series episode, in this series the First Ones did create the Sword of Protection. [[spoiler: the difference being, due to the First Ones AdaptionalVillainy, Adora regained her ability to transform independently of them.]]

* Another one to 2002 He-Man series, is how there is a [[spoiler: She-Ra entity channeled by]] Adora (and others in the past) when she becomes She-Ra, like Adam became He-Man in the 2002 series by channeling the spirit of King Grayskull. [[spoiler: Latter on, Horde Prime alludes this entity is his oldest enemy, just like King Grayskull was Hordak's ancient greatest enemy in ancient past.]]
