* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** While it was [[WordOfGod confirmed quite early]] in the show's development that certain characters from ''Prime'' wouldn't show up until Season 2, there were complaints about the much more heavy use of BroadStrokes in regards to the previous series. The second season makes more explicit references to the ''Prime'', and even [[TheBusCameBack brings Soundwave back]] for one episode.
** Adam Beechan, the producer, eventually said that the Grimlock in this series [[DecompositeCharacter is a separate individual]] from the ''WFC'' Grimlock.

* NamesTheSame:
** The title ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' can refer to this show, the comic beginning in 2012 that is a continuation of the IDW G1 universe and had it's name changed as above, the second phase of the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' toyline, or the 2001 American localization of the 2000 anime ''[[Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Car Robots]]''.
** With an example set in [[Franchise/TransformersAlignedUniverse the same universe]], ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' featured a character named "Slipstream" based on the female Starscream clone from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', but this one has a male Minicon. Likewise,''VideoGame/TransformersRiseOfTheDarkSpark'' featured an Autobot deployer called Steeljaw based on the Cassette Autobot from G1, but here there's a full sized Decepticon, who is also the BigBad, called Steeljaw. As noted below, WordOfGod pulled a DecompositeCharacter and said this Grimlock isn't the same one as in the G1-esque Grimlock in ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'', hence another case of this in the same universe as well. Website/TFWikiDotNet's stance on Sideswipe and Kickback is they're likewise not the same characters as in the ''Cybertron'' game.

** Originally, the Dinobot on Bee's team would've been a [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyJLQ-B9Ea/ female red Stegosaurus]] named Backlash. Ultimately, the design was GenderFlip into a [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BEFE_A6AY0H/ hulking]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BEFFJIwgY0a/ design]] that eventually laid the groundwork for Grimlock.



** The reason for Grimlock's shift in personality from his [[VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron earlier appearances]] was because he was originally going to be a new Dinobot character. Hasbro requested that the writers change him to Grimlock in order to cash in on his appearance in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction''. There was [[http://mscottwrites.tumblr.com/post/117608543176/answering-some-asks an attempt to keep Grimlock's personality and backstory]], but it was never implemented due to the [[DarkerAndEdgier clashes]] of [[LighterAndSofter tones]] between the two series. Producer Adam Beechen [[https://twitter.com/sonnova/status/606586570980749312 later pulled a]] DecompositeCharacter on the matter via WordOfGod and said that the Grimlocks are two different characters.
