This should be Japanese staff joke, as in English the text roughly translates: "Ah a girl... is there a (nice) girl somewhere? Let's call it (a day) and get home quick and let's sleep. Hey Habara (a common Japanese name, certainly a staff member) did you finally dropped your virginity? Let's go to Turkish (kind of prostitutes' salon) sometimes."
Due to a production error, Frank Welker's voice is not modulated with a vocoder for the line "Excellent Ravage" in this episode. The result is Soundwave sounding like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget (1983).
In several scenes in this episode, all of the Transformers are drawn using different, more stylish animation models. In particular, the Decepticon jets seen near the beginning are sleeker, more detailed and have a drooping nosecone.
