BROOKIE’S SCRAMBLE COCKTAIL
· 2 oz. (60 ml) gin
· 1 oz. (30 ml) sloe gin
· 1 oz. crème de cassis
· 1.5 oz. (45 ml) lime juice
· Shake with ice and strain over fresh ice

Singer Satoko Shimonari did the theme song.
The scene transition logos have a bit more zazz on them in this presentation.
This is the only episode with both Carly and Chip in it, and, therefore, the only one with all 4 main human characters.
Metroplex (Metroflex) is very toy-accurate in this episode. Look at that snatched waist!
The fan-made sequel (continuation) to Scramble City. It’s quite good, especially the voice acting, and it sets up the movie.
The stop-motion toy version of Scramble City. I couldn’t find one with English subtitles.
The Scramble City board game. From what we can gather, the object is to defeat Trypticon by knocking down his card before his projectiles can knock over your own Autobot cards.
Tessho Genda, a very prolific voice actor, including Optimus Prime in the Japanese cartoon and action movie dubs for Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Seagal.
Lonnie David Franklin, Jr., aka “The Grim Sleeper.”
