Notes
- The episode title "Fatal Furies" refers to the Erinyes, vengeful female spirits in Greek mythology also known as "Furies". In this context, it would refer to Flamewar and Slipstream rather than Elita 1's squadron.
- The Decepticons win in the event's story, a frequent occurrence in this game.
- Arcee, Elita 1, and Chromia are all portrayed as having motorcycle alternate modes during this event, like their movie-verse toys. However, Elita's and Chromia's robot modes are drawn directly from the 1985 cartoon episode "The Search for Alpha Trion", with no trace of their new alternate modes. (Try not to think about it too hard.)
- Elita One's name is consistently spelled "Elita 1" during this event, establishing a fourth canonical way to write the name alongside Elita One, Elita-One, and Elita-1.
- Arcee is blue just like her Prime-continuity counterpart.
- Arcee is part of this lineup of Elita 1's Squadron. It's not the first time. Further, the episode specifically mentions that Elita 1 assembled this version of her Squadron for this campaign, to operate on Earth. Where this leaves the Autobot resistance on Cybertron is unknown, though it is likely Ultra Magnus is in charge of the resistance.
- This episode weighs in on the issue of whether or not the Female Autobots are a description or a proper noun by capitalizing "Elita 1's Squadron" in the event story and decapitalizing "female Autobots" in her bio.
- This episode was the first one available following the release of Transformers Legends for Apple devices.
