Transformers: Animated Five Servos of Doom (2007–2009) watch online HD

Prowl discovers Sentinel Prime is using his old rival, the Decepticon hunter Lockdown, to capture Decepticon fugitives.

Yoketron is voiced by George Takei. Takei is the second Star Trek (1966) actor to voice a Transformer, after Leonard Nimoy who voiced Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie (1986) and Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011).

Yoketron was named after Hideaki Yoke, the head designer of the Takara Toy Company; "Transformers" is a partnership between Hasbro and Takara. The Cyber-Ninja Dojo was also based on Yoke's own home.

According to Derrick Wyatt, Yoketron transforms into a Cybertronian three-wheeled land vehicle, resembling a Carver One vehicle.

As Warpath leaves, he can be heard uttering "Blam! Pow!" under his breath. This is a reference to the original Warpath from Transformers (1984), who would always shout "BLAM! POW!" at every instance. This new incarnation of the character is much more cool-headed and mature, though.

Prowl finds Sentinel Prime, Lockdown and Ramjet at the Tigatron Stadium. The stadium's name is a reference to the Beast Wars: Transformers (1996) Maximal Tigatron, who was a samurai character. The Stadium bears a striking resemblance to Detroit's Tiger Stadium, with the notable exception of the giant scoreboard: it resembles the one in Comerica Park, the new home of the Detroit Tigers.

One of the upgrades seen on Lockdown's shelves is a shoulder-mounted missile launcher, famously worn by Transformers (1984)'s Soundwave.

According to Derrick Wyatt, the busts clearly seen in the Cyber-Ninja Dojo are of the Autobots Springer, Sky Garry, Devcon, Dai Atlas, Heavy Load, Star Upper, Roadhandler. The other busts that are unidentifiable are of Autobots Ultra Magnus, Star Saber, Tap-Out, Kick-Off, Grandus, Motorarm, Powerhug and Road Rocket.

The episode's title is a reference to the martial arts film Tian xia di yi quan (1972). In that feature, like this one, a student seeks to avenge his teacher's betrayal and death.
