* Sari's ability to instinctively interface with technology is foreshadowed in "Sari, No One's Home", as she figured out how to bypass the paywall on pay-TV and claims it was easy.

*From a certain point of view Ramjet is in fact the most honest character in the show; because he is a compulsive liar everything he says is a lie, and if you take that into account then you no nothing he says is true then you know that the ''opposite'' of everything he says is true, meaning that the bot who never tells the truth can never actually lie.

* Why, when they reappear, were Bumblebee's Turbo Boosters suddenly under his control? Well it's a fair bet that either Bumblebee and Sari went back to Issac with feedback and he fixed the errors, or that Ratchet did it, likely acknowledging the fact that they could be useful in the future.

* Another definition of 'ultimate' is 'last'. When the crime syndicate allied themselves with Swindle and named themselves the Society of Ultimate Villainy, they went down a path that lead that crime spree to be their last.

** Another thing to note from the first episode is that the nanotech-roach monster only seems to go after machines. It absorbs a number of vehicles, [[IneffectualLoner Prowl]], and then attacks Sari – [[spoiler: a big hint to [[OrganicTechnology her true nature]]]]. Granted it could just be a case of her being in the wrong place at the wrong time, whilst the other humans were out of range, but it’s a bit too much of a coincidence...

** While we're at it, the "public protector" aspect of the Autobots is kept by the Elite Guard -- many of them take cues from classic superheroes. (Magnus Hammer? Sentinel's shield? Rodimus is effectively a big metal Hawkeye).

** In addition, it's ironic that Sari interacted with her the most than any other Decepticon because the both of them are [[spoiler:techno-organics]]. One must wonder how Blackarachnia would've reacted to ''that'' news in Season 3...

* WordOfGod is that the Autobots are a labour force while the Decepticons are a military force- and thinking about it, they were probably literally ''made'' for these niches. Our main Autobots scan emergency and rescue vehicles (well... kind of. Prime has no engine but he uses flame retardant hoses, and 'bee is ''technically'' a police car) while the 'Cons only choose military vehicles. 'Cons have superior firepower, but the Autobots have superior engineering skills. Kind of squares up with Sumdac's insistence that his company does not build war robots.

* Some were confused when it was revealed that Bulkhead was an expert on Space Bridges and why it was never brought up earlier. Well, it could have been done earlier; IF in Episode 1, the Autobots didn't find the All-Spark, Bulkhead could have done something with the space bridge and showed his prowess with them long before. He wanted to be a Space Bridge engineer and likely studied like crazy to get it right

** Or it could be the fact that the team was clearing rubble in the first episode, rather than needing to carry out any mechanical repairs to the Space Bridge.

Cybertron, at that point, is ''technically'' still led by Sentinel (acting) Magnus, who is so biophobic that he viewed Blackarahnia as an abomination-mockery of the Autobot she used to be.

* In Wreck-Gar's official bio, it explains that he watches a lot of TV, and believes everything in the internet is true. As in the Transformers Wiki, ''how he does this in the bottom of the ocean'' makes you wonder, unless he can access the internet in his internal memory as the live action Optimus said they learned various languages in the internet, including eBay.
