Notes

Animation and Technical Errors

• As the episode progresses, the Cobra Troopers, who Cobra Commander at one point refers to as "polar troopers", become dressed as Snow Serpents.

Quotes

"Beware, Lady Jaye. With so sharp a tongue you could cut your own throat!"
--Destro to a captive Lady Jaye.

"I see you have never learned the difference between courage and stupidity."
--Destro to Flint and Lady Jaye.
