* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: The Decepticons are shown to be quite willing to kill any human that sees a giant space robot as shown when Starscream orders the two Vehicons to destroy Jack along with Arcee. It's because of this that the human kids are placed under Autobot protection because Optimus fears the kids will be mistaken for Autobot allies just for stumbling across a confrontation.

** In additions, the Vehicons had guns popping out of hidden panels in their vehicle modes in the pilot. This effect was dropped for all characters except those whose vehicle modes had visible weaponry (Starscream, Megatron, Shockwave, and Vehicons with jets as their altmode), which was surprising given that there was a line of toys featuring hidden weapon gimmicks for the different characters in vehicle mode.

**Lots of references to "three years ago" as the last time the Decepticons and Megatron were seen. At the time the episode aired, three years ago was the year that ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' (2007) came out in the cinema, by Prime showrunners Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
**Cybertron has been rendered uninhabitable by the war. This is not just established by Exodus and the [[VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron War For Cybertron games]] but was also part of the Film/TransformersFilmSeries canon and IDW Publishing's earlier Generation 1 comics.

* ContinuityNod: ''Literature/TransformersExodus'' is the basis of the Prime continuity's backstory, according to WordOfGod. However, Exodus has the split between Optimus and Megatron causing the war, whereas this episode implies with the line "In war, ideals change" that their split happened during the war. It's all neatly vague enough to imagine that "war" in this instance could have been a metaphorical summation of Optimus and Megatron's ideological conflict with the council, rather than actual battlefield warfare, and in any case, "One Shall Rise, Part 3" would later give a more detailed account of this period that {{retcon}}ned the characters' history back in-line with the depiction seen in Exodus.

*EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Decepticon {{mook}}s, Vehicons, are much more effective here. 5 of them successfully capture Cliffjumper. 2 of them actually come close to defeating Bumblebee and Arcee - the pair are saved by Bulkhead's appearance and the cons escape unarmed. Never again do the Vehicons display such competence; each Autobots plow through dozens of them with little to no effort.
