* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: All of those defense systems Sentinel employs throughout the episode? They never appear again. Hell, Sentinel is never active when Predacons are inside the ship, and half the time Predacons are outside the ship as well. The impenetrable shield also never comes back, as the ''Axalon'''s shields are brought down by sustained or concentrated fire several times throughout the rest of the series.
