	*The final page of the issue serves as a dramatic reveal of the Transformer that the U.S. forces have found. Since the collected volumes present this image on the opposite side of the preceding page, with no page-flipping required, this loses a lot of the dramatic impact.		*The final page of the issue serves as a dramatic reveal of the Transformer that the U.S. forces have found.

	*Following the story is a 2-page fictional news article entitled "Reliving the '99 ''Ark II'' Tragedy—What Happened?" Though this may seem like just an extra it's actually very important as it reveals much of the backstory for the series and explains the Transformers' current conditions.		*Following the story is a 2-page fictional news article entitled "Reliving the '99 ''Ark II'' Tragedy—What Happened?"

	*[[~~James Raiz~~]], [[~~Alan Wang~~]] ~~and [[Kenny Li]] created a [http~~:~~//www.transfans.co.uk/interviews/images/raizextra5b.jpg large lithograph] that contained over 600 characters from multiple Transformers continuities. Each issue of~~ ''[[~~Prime Directive~~]]~~'' came in two cover variants~~, ~~Autobot~~ and ~~Decepticon, and each variant of each issue had a 2-page center spread which was 1/12 of~~ the ~~lithograph. Split up, it was 4 issues wide by 3 issues high~~.		*The pull-out posters included this issue are:
			**'''Autobot cover:''' A selection of Generation 1 Autobots roll out in front of a city-mode [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]], with the Autobot cast of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)\|Transformers: Armada]]'' in the background.
			**'''Decepticon cover:''' Generation 1 [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]], with many Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons battling in the background.
	*Optimus Prime's pose on this cover was parodied for one of the variant covers of issue 1 of [[Marvel Comics]]'s (fortunately) short-lived "satire" series ''Marville''. In fact, the aping of Pat Lee's art style may be one of the ''very'' few genuinely funny things about ''Marville''.		*Optimus Prime's pose on this cover was parodied for one of the variant covers of issue 1 of [[Marvel Comics]]'s (fortunately) short-lived "satire" series ''Marville''.
