* AnswerCut: When Smokescreen asks the rest of Team Prime why Predacon fossils are on Earth, Starscream asks Megatron the same think. Megatron explains that they aren't fossil of the Preds themselves, but ''clones'' buried by time when the project first started to counter Autobots of early times.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Wheeljack is the first to ask ''what's to stop the Decepticons from making just ''one'' Predacon clone''.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: The question of why and how Predacon fossils are buried in the Earth explained by Megatron that they were actually ''clones'' already made by Shockwave to attack Autobots already on Prehistoric Earth. They waited for Megatron' s arrival but eventually died out eons after, while his forced were busy in the war.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: When tasked with the menial job of stacking storage cubes, Smokescreen grouses about how he was nearly a Prime and is now back to being seen as a mere rookie. Bumblebee's more modest goal of simply being promoted to warrior does a lot for his mood and perspective.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack's frustration with each other here really comes into play in the next episode. Ultra Magnus also chastises the old Wreckers' lack of discipline before he came in and mentions "the path of least resistance" to Wheeljack, alluding to how Jackie outright deserted when Magnus took over.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Ratchet has resumed work on his Synthetic Energon experiments, in order to make up for their lost reserves. His efforts will end up being crucial to final arc of the season and an effort to restore Cybertron.


Added DiffLines:

* OneMythToExplainThemAll: Shockwave created other Predacons long before Predaking, and these were dispatched to Earth to eliminate any Autobot forces and guard the energon supplies. The beasts eventually died out, but they had plenty of human witnesses. When Ratchet brings up historical records of Predacons from Cybertron, Jack immediately notices the resemblance to monsters from Myth/ClassicalMythology and TheMiddleAges. Optimus sees Predacons being the basis for parts of human folklore as another intriguing example of Cybertron and Earth being linked.
