* TheOtherDarrin: Given it's set in the same universe as ''TransformersWarForCybertron'', Optimus Prime is the only character who appears in both ''[=WfC=]'' and ''Prime'' that doesn't undergo this as PeterCullen voiced Optimus in both. The humans, Bulkhead, Knock Out, Skyquake, Airachnid, Makeshift, Wheeljack, and Tailgate didn't appear in the game and the protrayals of Bumblebee and Soundwave so far haven't required voice actors, much less getting JohnnyYongBosch and Issac C. Singleton, Jr. to reprise the respective roles from the game.
** FredTatasciore is replaced with FrankWelker reprising his iconic role as Megatron from ''G1'' and JeffreyCombs as Ratchet
** Sumalee Montano replaces KariWahlgren as Arcee.
** StevenBlum replaces SamRiegel as Starscream, though Blum is also an interesting case as he voiced Cliffjumper on the DS version of ''[=WfC=]'', yet DwayneJohnson voiced Cliffjumper in ''Prime''.
** AdamBaldwin takes over from CrispinFreeman as Breakdown.

*** Starscream's speech to the Decepticons at the end of ''Darkness Rising'' is quite similar to the one ''Animated'' Starscream gave near the beginning of that show's pilot (both times being when he assumed [[spoiler: that Megatron was dead]]). The difference being that this time he actually gets to finish it... and doesn't get blown up.

*** In ''Sick Mind'', Megatron muses over Optimus Prime's deteriorating health and makes a comment on him "turning to gunmetal grey" (i.e. losing his coloration upon the moment of death)... the same thing that happened when he died in ''TransformersTheMovie'', and in many other series, the one sign that a Transformer's spark has been extinguished and they are [[KilledOffForReal truly dead]].

** In "Masters & Students," Starscream declares himself the "[[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Emperor_of_Destruction Emperor of Destruction]]" while taking command of the Decepticons, a term that, while rarely brought up in American ''Transformers'' series, has often been used by Japanese fiction to refer to 'con leaders.

* MythologyGag: [[TransformersTheMovie One Shall Stand]], [[{{Film/Transformers}} One Shall Fall.]]
** G1: The abandoned missile silo the Autobots use for home base has a passing resemblance to Mount St. Hilary, the resting place of the Ark in [[TransformersGeneration1 G1]]. Right before trying to blow up the space bridge, Ratchet says it's time to "[[TransformersTheMovie light our darkest hour!]]" The design of the Decepticon ship hearkens back to the unnamed Decepticon ship from G1, given the name ''Nemesis'' in ''BeastWars''.
*** Optimus Prime and Megatron are both voiced by the same actors (Peter Cullen and FrankWelker) who first voiced them in G1.
** BeastWars: Energon takes the form of bluish crystals, and artificially seeded on a planet where they grow.
** TransformersFilmSeries: Optimus Prime introduces himself and the Autobots to the human kids in a very similar manner to his movie counterpart did and the ending of the five part pilot includes him sending a message to space. Bumblebee is unable to speak. The first episode states that the last known activity on Earth of the Decepticons was about three years prior, roughly the time in RealLife that the first live-action Transformers movie was released. Bumblebee's design in particular (And also prime's, somewhat) is nearly identical to his film counterpart.
** TransformersAnimated: Ratchet is grumpy and sensitive about his age. Cliffjumpers head design is almost identical to ''Animated'' Bumblebee's design, referencing how they are [[AvertedTrope normally]] [[PaletteSwap redecoes]] of each other. Bulkhead is very similar in design to his Animated counterpart, as is Ratchet.
** TransformersEnergon: The Terrorcons were a sub-faction of Decepticons that were largely mindless drones lead by Scorponok that had ties to Unicron. The robot zombies here are named [[AllThereInTheManual Terrorcons in sublimentary material]], and seem to have some related properties.
* ShoutOut: When Arcee meets up with Jack after he has seen that Transformers exist he tries walking away from her whilst saying; "I get it. The first rule about Robot FightClub is that you do not talk about Robot Fight Club."
** Hovering somewhere between this and a voiceless version of HeyItsThatVoice, the Dark Energon produced drone-thing in episode three makes the ''exact'' same squawks and screeches as the Warrior Bugs from the Roughnecks StarshipTroopers cartoon.

While both PeterCullen and FrankWelker have portrayed Optimus Prime and Megatron in other productions including video games, this is the first time the two of them have been able to work together portraying their iconic characters in a television series since ''TransformersGeneration1''. Both have stated how delighted they were to work together again and how fond they were of each other.
