	** Frosting's name is given here as "Tyler Frost," while the art for Transformers #2 had his first name being "Mike".

	* The six-month jump ~~places~~ this story further in the Energon Universe timeline than the concurrently running ''Transformers''.

	* Hawk's nameplate on his desk should really read "Abernathy," his legal last name, not his cool toy trademark.

			* While it wasn’t a problem at the time of release, future Energon Universe installments render the six-month timeskip impossible. Events in the subsequent G.I. Joe miniseries establish that they run rrrrroughly concurrently with the ''[[Transformers (2023 comic)\|Transformers]]'' ongoing, which features no such timeskip.
