	In the [[Korean Demilitarized Zone]], [[Onslaught (G1)\|Onslaught]] drives through the fence separating the North and the [[South Korea\|South]] and starts to attack South Korean soldiers.

Jet fighters scrambled to attack the invaders are cut down in the air by [[Vortex (G1)\|Vortex]], who transforms and joins the others on the ground. Onslaught radios their boss, North Korean dictator [[Kim Jong Du]], and reports that the battle is over. Kim, arriving at the head of a large North Korean military force, is pleased; [[Seoul]] will be theirs in hours at this rate.

			*When Henderson is describing Energon to Spike, he says "Our own experiments with the substance has shown that it's too unstable to store for more than a few months". It should be "Our own experiments... ''have'' shown".
	*Almost all of the Transformers have changed bodies again between issues. For the first time in a very, very long time, they are drawn to the specifications of their original Generation 1 [[character model]]s, with only slight variations for necessity (Ratchet, for instance, sports electrocardiogram graphics on his shoulders instead of his traditional [[Red Cross]] symbols). Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the exceptions, with the former in a Dery-ized version of his recent [[Don Figueroa]] design, and the latter in a cross between his Dodge Challenger body Don Figueroa used in [[Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"\|issue #6]] and [[Chee Yang Ong]]'s simplified take of it seen at the conclusion of [[The Transformers: Bumblebee\|his mini-series]], plus various elements lifted from an unused Don Figueroa design shown on the alternate cover of [[Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"\|issue #5]] (which is also the design used for Cliffjumper in the first few issues of the ongoing). This was after an artistic error depicted him in his traditional Volkswagen body in his [[All His Engines\|last appearance]].		*Almost all of the Transformers have changed bodies again between issues.
