  • Blepablorpo suggested the following voices: Jessie Shelton for Freezon, Neil Cicierega for Air Raid, William Sopp for Swindle, Tim Curry for Tracks and Susan Sims for Blazemaster.
  • ShockwaveFan148 suggested the following voices: Connor Brownlee for Hot "Rodimus" Rod, John DiMaggio for Misfire, Frank Welker for Soundwave and Pip Torrens for Prowl.
  • GogoDG suggested John Hurt for Roadfire.
  • Tigerhawk7109 suggested Fred Tatasciore for Blindside.
• The Original Darrin: ShockwaveFan148 would reclaim Rotorstorm upon returning to the game after he was briefly taken over by Artork312.
• The Other Darrin: All the characters played by GogoDG, DankorMong, Blepablorpo, ShockwaveFan148, and FangSpecter were picked up by the remaining players after they left the game for various reasons.
• The Other Marty: Star Saber, Trailbreaker, Battletrap, Battle Roller, Brainstorm, and Prowl were originally registered by noir-popmeta, Known Stranger, Blepablorpo and ShockwaveFan148, respectively, but they never used them before leaving the game. The first four were eventually used by Artork312, while the latter two were picked up by Scourge.
• Promoted Fanboy: ØmniTheLeader and RoboBum with Brains listed Kiloton and Nightracer among their favorite characters from other players, respectively. They both ended up getting to use them when their original players dropped out.
• Real-Life Relative: Artork312 and DankorMong are brother and sister, and when they had opportunities to bicker or one up each other, both used it to hilarious results.
• Real Life Writes the Plot:
  • The reason that the alternate reality versions of Rodimus and Shockwave were introduced was due to ShockwaveFan148 and RoboBum with Brains both wanting to use the characters.
  • The entire reason Steelnugget exists is that ShockwaveFan148 hadn't realized Misfire had been carried onto the shuttle and wrote him as being found and captured by Rotorstorm. When this error was spotted, Steelnugget was created to fix it.
  • The Destron spy wasn't going to make a Buildron take the fall. The reason this ended up happening was ØmniTheLeader having Mirage present the dead body of the spy, likely assuming this was just a generic being killed. So to keep the spy alive, the one killed was changed to a hapless Buildron used to get Mirage off their back.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The Roleplay was initially going to be hosted on TFW2005, but lack of interest there led to it being moved to Artork312's own Discord server.
  • The initial summary given with the sign up indicated that Megazarak alone was leading the remaining Destrons to rise up and take back what was left of Cybertron, and her bio claims she was the greatest of any Destron warlord. When the story began, her position wound up being reduced to the leader of just one of several Destron warbands, and most outside of her group didn't know she was even in charge.
  • An early idea for Kiloton was that she would act as The Starscream for Megazarak. This was dropped once it became clear that Bugly would fill that role.
  • While the characters that would become the Assaultrons were still being developed, an idea for the member based on the Missile Carrier Drone was that he was a Boisterous Bruiser named Metaltread.
  • Sunstorm was registered by ShockwaveFan148, but never appeared before he temporarily dropped out of the game, leading to Sunstorm being dropped entirely rather than reassigned to another player, like Highbrow. Unlike Highbrow, Sunstorm wasn't reclaimed when ShockwaveFan184 returned, indicating the character won't be appearing as originally planed.
  • Battle Roller was originally registered as Roller Car by Blepablorpo.
  • Tracks was going to hanging out at the replacement bar for Maccadam's, but it was decided that it wouldn't make sense for him to be there.
  • User All that glitters is GOLD registered the character Charcoal, but she's shown no signs of actually showing up.
  • Artork312 took control of Shinkaiser after FangSpecter left the game, but never used him before choosing to give him to ShockwaveFan148 when he returned to the game.
