** Reportedly Creator/FrankWelker auditioned to play Megatron, but much like what happened with the live-action films, his classic G1 Megatron voice was ultimately not what High Moon wanted for the character.

!!The Netflix Show
* IKnewIt: Character posters for ''Siege'' each contained a flashing letter from Autobot alphabet created for the original cartoon. When put together, they spelled out "KINGDOM." This led to the theory being that it was teasing a future ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' production. This turned out to be true, with Netflix soon announcing the third installment in the trilogy, indeed titled ''Kingdom,'' which would feature the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersGeneration1 G1]] cast meeting the Beast Wars cast.
* PosthumousCredit: In the Italian dub, Roberto Draghetti (Optimus Prime) died on July 24, 2020, exactly one week before the show's premiere.
* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure:
*** Creator/BrookChalmers (Impactor) is Polpo
*** Edward Bosco (Ultra Magnus and Soundwave) is Devo the Cursed.
*** Creator/JasonMarnocha (Megatron) is Keicho Nijimura.
*** Creator/JoeZieja (Bumblebee) is Oingo.
*** Creator/KeithSilverstein (Jetfire) is Robert Speedwagon.
*** Mark Whitten (Sideswipe and Skywarp) is Mikitaka Hazekura.
* RoleReprise:
** This series marks the third time Jake Tillman voiced Optimus Prime.
** Creator/JasonMarnocha and Frank Todaro return as their respective roles as Megatron and Starscream since the [[WebAnimation/TransformersPrimeWarsTrilogy Prime Wars Trilogy]].
** In the Japanese dub:
*** Creator/TesshoGenda is back for voicing Optimus Prime.
*** Creator/RyoheiKimura returns to voice Bumblebee for the fourth time.
*** Creator/KenjiNomura voices Jetfire for the first time since [[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Revenge Of The Fallen]].
* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: While most characters looked like their Siege series toys, they included a lot of accessory changes- the Autobots mostly used the blasters that came with the Cog figure instead of the ones that came with their own figures, while Elita-1 was shown using a long-barreled sniper rifle that didn't resemble anything that any figure in the toyline came with. Jetfire, meanwhile, was constantly popping out a LaserBlade from his wrist that he absolutely didn't get with his toy and never showed off the removable armor parts that the toy centered around.
* SpoiledByTheMerchandise: The [[spoiler:Ultra Magnus]] figure was sold in packaging warning that it contained spoilers for the first season. [[spoiler: Indeed, the translated Cybertronian script on the box revealed that he would surrender to the Decepticons and be killed by them.]]
* TroubledProduction: Linsay Rousseau, the voice actress for Elita-1, explained that the show was originally meant to debut in June 2020 [[ScheduleSlip but had to be pushed back]] due to the COVID-19 pandemic complicating recording foreign dubs for the show, a standard requirement from Netflix who simultaneously release their original programming worldwide.
