The referenceDuring development, the episode's plot was significantly different, with Miles Dread being the main antagonist. He would create a fake Max Steel to turn the public against him, and the real Max and Forge would work together to shut it down.
Makino, who would appear on the Earth Under Siege special, is mentioned by Steel at the end of the episode with the phrase "Oh, Makino have mercy".
When Syd was about to collide with Extroyer, she avoids him by climbing up a ramp with her bike and the following scene makes a reference to Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
The signal that Sydney created to draw Extroyer's attention is a nod to the Batsignal.
The idea of the mosquito being preserved at am ambar stone is a reference to Jurassic Park.
The Truck Driver makes a cameo while Extroyer chases Kirby and Sydney.
