			*Two new Initiative-controlled Transformers show up this issue, alongside all those seen previously. Moreso than last issue, an attempt is made to color all of them correctly, with varying levels of success.
			**[[Tankor (ROTF)\|Tankor]] is now colored blue, although it's not a particularly close match for his toy.
			**[[Blazemaster]] is inconsistent from panel to panel—sometimes blue, sometimes blue and gold.
			**[[Brawn (ROTF)\|Brawn]] starts out in the dark green and yellow of his [[The Transformers (franchise)\|Generation 1]] [[Brawn (G1)\|counterpart]], then loses the yellow for the rest of the issue.
			**In the background of the first double-page spread is one of the two new bots, [[Sonar (ROTF)\|Sonar]]. He's recognizable by way of his shoulder-mounted launchers and boat kibble legs, and is named in dialogue when he reappears in ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm\|Rising Storm]]''. This issue, he's badly miscolored, with the colorist seemingly having referenced ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars]]'' [[Sonar (BW)\|Sonar]]!
			**[[Skystalker (ROTF)\|Skystalker]] now sports reasonably accurate black and red colors.
			**Armorhide is now green, drawing upon his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toy, although he's still drawn with the same semi-truck design as last issue.
			**The second new robot is colored blue and sports obvious car kibble. ''Rising Storm'' will go on to establish him as an Autobot and add some red to his color scheme, clinching him as [[Smokescreen (Movie)\|Smokescreen]].
			**The colorist seems to have been unsure which was which out of [[Thrust (Movie)\|Thrust]] and [[Ramjet (Movie)\|Ramjet]]—they are colored grey and red respectively in their sole appearance.
			**Lockdown is now colored primarily green, evidently drawing upon his partly green toy.

	**[[Brawn (ROTF)\|Brawn]] is clearly identifiable in this spread also, despite being colored like his [[Brawn (G1)\|Generation 1 predecessor]]. He is colored entirely green in subsequent pages.
	**A black and red stealth-plane Transformer can safely be presumed to be either [[Skystalker (ROTF)\|Skystalker]] or [[Mindwipe (ROTF)\|Mindwipe]]; we've opted for the former.
	**Far off in the distance is a small purple and red Transformer with what seem to be orange shoulder-mounted missile-launchers. He didn't appear in the last issue, but [[Sonar (ROTF)\|Sonar]] shows up with the same design in the later ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm\|Rising Storm]]'' series.

	**The three robots attacking Jolt were colored entirely grey last issue, but two of them have managed to get some color in this one. The one who hasn't is at least immediately recognizable as the jet mold shared by [[Breakaway (ROTF)\|Breakaway]] and [[Thrust (Movie)\|Thrust]], and since Breakaway died earlier in this series, we assume this to be Thrust.
	**As for Jolt's other two attackers; one now has a splash of green but is otherwise unidentifiable. While not visible in this issue, he was shown with a hook in place of his right hand last issue that makes us think he's [[Lockdown (ROTF)\|Lockdown]] (who should have some green parts on him). The final 'bot, an unidentifiable jet, is now colored red. The only red 'plane in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline is [[Divebomb (Movie)\|Divebomb]], but this guy looks too sleek to be a biplane.

	**A black and red stealth-plane Transformer can safely be presumed to be either [[Skystalker (ROTF)\|Skystalker]] or [[Mindwipe (ROTF)\|Mindwipe]]; we've opted for the former.
	**Far off in the distance is a small purple and red Transformer with what seem to be orange shoulder-mounted missile-launchers. He didn't appear in the last issue, but [[Sonar (ROTF)\|Sonar]] shows up with the same design in the later ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm\|Rising Storm]]'' series.
	**The large chaotic jumble of green that takes up a larger part of the page is [[Armorhide (Movie)\|Armorhide]], now drawn based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' dune duggy toy, instead of the first movie toyline's truck body he was rendered with in the previous issue. Whoops! Although hard to discern in this issue, his identity would later be confirmed in [[Rising Storm issue 1\|''Rising Storm'' #1]].
	**As for the blue one beside him, he's a new face that wasn't in the last issue, and is pretty much impossible to identify. He would go on to appear alongside the other Autobots freed from Initiative capture (Armorhide, Blazemaster and Brawn) in ''Rising Storm'' #1, where he was likewise unidentified, but now featured some red parts and a car-hood-chest, suggesting he might be [[Smokescreen (Movie)\|Smokescreen]], who ''did'' have a toy in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line... but was previously killed in [[The Reign of Starscream issue 3\|''The Reign of Starscream'' #3]]. Hrmn.
	**The three robots attacking Jolt were colored entirely grey last issue, but two of them have managed to get some color in this one. The one who hasn't is at least immediately recognizable as the jet mold shared by [[Breakaway (ROTF)\|Breakaway]] and [[Thrust (Movie)\|Thrust]], and since Breakaway died earlier in this series, we assume this to be Thrust.
	**As for Jolt's other two attackers; one now has a splash of green but is otherwise unidentifiable. While not visible in this issue, he was shown with a hook in place of his right hand last issue that makes us think he's [[Lockdown (ROTF)\|Lockdown]] (who should have some green parts on him). The final 'bot, an unidentifiable jet, is now colored red. The only red 'plane in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline is [[Divebomb (Movie)\|Divebomb]], but this guy looks too sleek to be a biplane.
