==Notes==
*Roberts had been asked to pen MTMTE before writing [[Chaos Theory Part 1| Chaos Theory]]. He included [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] as the prison guard in the story knowing he would become a regular in MTMTE. <ref name="Everything"> From the 'Everything You Didn't Realize You Needed To Know About More Than Meets The Eye' section of the TPB </ref>
*When Costa and Roberts co-plotted [[Chaos Part Two: Numbers|Chaos]], Costa let Roberts script all of the Kimia escape shuttle scenes knowing that [[Chromedome (G1)| Chromedome]], [[Brainstorm]], [[Swerve (G1)| Swerve]] etc would be boarding the [[Lost Light]]. <ref name="Everything" />
