    I'm pretty sure there's a shot of the Cybertron cityscape in The War Within that contains "TFW2005" in some billboard scrawl or similar, an Allspark logo on one of the buildings, and similar shout-outs to the other fansites on the same page.

    Shoutouts like that are common, especially nowadays. Look for other references and eggs in Drift, as well as Milne's other works.

    Yeah, like when he had Hot Shot and SG Ravage as background extras killed to piss of David Willis because they're his favorite characters.

    Which, amusingly, delighted David more than anything.
