Notes
[edit]- This collection actually spans five different continuities; only the Marvel stories are within a single continuity.
- All stories except one represent Generation 1 continuities of some sort, including Beast Wars. "Worlds Collide" is from Armada.
- There were some other stories originally advertised but replaced during the compiling of the collection. These include mostly Marvel UK stories: "The Wrath of Guardian!"/"The Wrath of Grimlock!" (#31–32), "Way of the Warrior" (#237), "Survival Run" (#238), "A Savage Place!" (#239) and "Out to Lunch!" (#240). Also pitched was BotCon 1997 story, "Ground Zero". These appear to have been replaced with "Surrender!", Spotlight: Shockwave and some background pitch and script material.[1]
