** Laserbeak makes a major appearance in the episode "More Than Meets The Eye". While he is the antagonist for the episode, it's mainly because he's panicked and injured, and the recruits themselves show a fair bit of hostility towards him. According to Perceptor, he 'currently' has no criminal record, suggesting he is the original Laserbeak after having served his sentence or been granted amnesty. [[spoiler:By the end of the series, Laserbeak even allows Optimus Prime to reformat him as an Autobot.]]

** A drawing of ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'' Whirl looking like his ''ComicBook/MoreThanMeetsTheEye'' counterpart with the RBA!Whirl is seen in "About a Rock". Also possibly a FandomNod to the {{Fanon}} that RBA!Whirl is the daughter of FOC!Whirl. Whirl being female could also be a nod to her ''MTMTE'' counterpart's holomatter avatar.

* BornAfterTheEnd: According to writer [[https://mobile.twitter.com/otherland71/status/1377300614514765827 Chris Wyatt]], all the rescue bots were born after the war (which left Cybertron a lifeless wasteland for eons before its revival).

Adding more updates to this article now that I've finished catching up on the series.


* DemotedToExtra:
** The only member of the Burns family aside from Cody to return in this series is the patriarch Chief Charlie Burns, who only appears in a single episode without dialogue.
** Doc Greene and Frankie were secondary characters in the original series, but the former only shows up in two episodes and the latter only appears in one.



* GondorCallsForAid: "Crash of the Titan" has Whirl and Hot Shot recruit Laserbeak, Slash, Sludge, Snarl and Brushfire to aid in their efforts to prevent Citadel Secundus from crashing into the Earth.



* NoAntagonist: Just like its predecessor Decepticons are absent from the setting (save for Laserbeak who had undergone a HeelFaceTurn by that point and [[spoiler: Wedge]]) and no human villains have appeared. Conflicts are driven by the recruits' own inexperience and happenstance.
