NOTESThis page features Andrés's colors. Andrés worked on some pages of
SoD: Jetfire/Grimlock.
Trypticon's space station alt mode is very similar to the Decepticon Space Station seen in
Spotlight: Sixshot.
The Six Phases Invasion Protocol, which was originally inspired by Nova Prime's plans (as seen in
page 8 of Sod Omega Supreme) is the same Protocol deployed by the Decepticons in
Infiltration,
Stormbringer and
Escalation.
An example of the disastrous consequences of a War Tech Escalation can be seen in
The War Within vol. 2: The Dark Ages.
This page features the "secret" origins of the same Kimia Facility previously described in page 1.
The "unmentionable weapon" is a nod to James Roberts'
More Than Meets The Eye comic book. As SoD does not exactly belong to that continuity, our Kimia Facility has a different story, but many things (like Brainstorm's impossible weapons) remain the same.
The term "fringe" was chosen as a nod to tv series Fringe.
The Circuitmaster
Boltax clearly survived the fate that befell his peers, the Ancients, in
The War Within vol. 3: The Age Of Wrath.
(He became an Ancient in
page 5 of SoD: Shockwave/Soundwave).
Boltax is also featured in
Short Story: The Chosen One.
Perceptor is featured in
SoD: Blaster and
SoD: Magnus, but his personal Spotlight can be found in
The Drought: part 1,
The Drought: part 2,
The Drought: part 3.
Every SoD fan should know what the J'nwan is by now!
Hiding a threat in a extradimensional cage is something the Autobots do often: see what Omega Supreme did to Monstructor in
Spotlight: Optimus Prime.
NEXT: the new Metroplex faces the new Trypticon! Plus: the Infiltration Bunker's secret!
