Production notes

Slade is listed in the credits for this episode but actually he never appears in it.

Starfire's real name is Koriand'r, and Blackfire's is Komand'r.

This a Starfire episode.

Notice a sign on the warehouse club that says Soto, this is a reference to a series director, Alex Soto.

We learn that each blast from a Tameranian is a different color.

Places where the background music is the same as in the Teen Titans Battle Blitz game:

  • Starfire's chase scene in the beginning
  • Cyborg and Beast Boy's video game
  • Warehouse when Titans first enter
  • Warehouse fight


One of the cops gets called "Lobo" when he cuts open the engine. Lobo actually is a semi-popular character from Superman: The Animated Series.

Blackfire wears purple instead of pink.

Villain: Blackfire.

Beast Boy's nickname for Blackfire is Blazin' B, which he gave her because she is very good at racing game Cyborg and Beast Boy play.

One of the girls Cyborg dances with has the exact same eyes as Starfire.

Starfire's starbolts in the TV show are solar energy, but her starbolts in the comic are magma.
