==Notes==
*This "extra" issue was published as a backup strip in the ''[[Transformers Archive]]'' encyclopedia released by Kodansha in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.

===Transformers references===
*This issue is notable for seeing the introduction of the first ''Go! Go!'' characters not from a AAA international franchise, namely [[Lio Convoy]] from the Japan-exclusive ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' spin-off ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' and [[Big Convoy]] from ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars Neo|Beast Wars Neo]]''. This presumably comes down to both of those franchises being covered in detail in the body of the encyclopedia.
*Oda continues her usual penchant for [[Show-accuracy|toy accuracy]] as Lio Convoy displays the characteristic compressed arm kibble of his ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution|Legacy Evolution]]'' "[[Lio Convoy#Legacy|Leo Prime]]" toy. Big Convoy, on the other hand, straightforwardly reproduces his ''Beast Wars'' animation model, likely due to his lack of a contemporary toy at time of publication.
*Oda creates whole cloth a flip-down panel revealing a matrix chamber for [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] in the first direct appearance of his oft mentioned in Japanese fiction but never seen [[Energon Matrix]] (itself a new Matrix design) for this story.
*Optimus Prime's retro [[Super Mode|super mode]] here is a very direct depiction of ''[[Missing Link]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Missing Link|C-01 Convoy]], discernible from his original toy by his molded-in sticker detailing, amongst other things.
