Notes[]
- This episode is largely the same as its Sentai counterpart, the only true difference is Rico surviving in the end by leaving Earth, while Koro self-destructed.
- Metal Alice is revealed to have the ability to summon Zombats, though she calls them Zombolts. Until this point in the series, the only other villain who had done so other than Vrak was Bluefur.
- This episode is the first, though indirect, mention of the Armada.
- Vrak was planning to usurp and replace Malkor as leader of Warstar, but is abandoned.
