	*It should not come as any surprise to learn that there are a few notable contradictions between this comic and the events of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron\|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game, as this is par for the course when dealing with the [[Aligned continuity family]]. However, they do stand out a bit more, as this comic has been ''actively trailed'' by its creative team as bridging the gap between the game and upcoming events in the third season of the [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)\|''Prime'' cartoon]]. Though the Dinobots' story is obviously the same as seen in the game—given dinosaur forms by Shockwave based on his study of [[Earth]], with Grimlock's beast form tied into his mounting rage—the fact that the game ended with Sludge in stasis lock (before even ''gaining'' a dinosaur mode) and Grimlock disappearing in a space bridge explosion, while both are present here, nags at the edge of one's consciousness a bit. These questions are later answered in the ''[[Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters (comic) \| Beast Hunters]]'' comic.		*It should not come as any surprise to learn that there are a few notable contradictions between this comic and the events of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron\|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game, as this is par for the course when dealing with the [[Aligned continuity family]].

			Millions of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], some time after [[Optimus Prime (WFC)\|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (WFC)\|Megatron]] have departed the dying planet, there are still many [[Autobot]]s attempting to flee their homeworld, and plenty of [[Decepticon]]s left striving to see their enemies die along with their world. A convoy of ships led by [[Impactor (Prime)\|Impactor]] have just managed to escape Cybertron's atmosphere, thanks in large part to the efforts of [[Grimlock (WFC)\|Grimlock]]'s [[Dinobot (FOC)\|Dinobots]]: [[Snarl (FOC)\|Snarl]] uses an anti-aircraft cannon to shoot down the Decepticon craft pursuing the convoy, while his team-mates cover his back by dealing with the Decepticon ground troops led by [[Blast Off (FOC)\|Blast Off]]. When the final ship of the convoy escapes, [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)\|Ultra Magnus]] orders the Dinobots to get to their own craft, but a last-minute appearance by another squadron of Decepticons draws [[Swoop (WFC)\|Swoop]] into a solo attempt to take them out. Magnus himself appears in a fighter craft to draw the Decepticons off, ordering Swoop away, only to be shot down by his opponents and crash off in the distance. [[Sludge (FOC)\|Sludge]] advocates departing in their own ship, and [[Slug (FOC)\|Slug]] is particularly happy to leave Magnus behind, tired of how he and the other Autobots have treated the Dinobots differently since they gained their [[dinosaur (dinosaur)\|dinosaur]] forms, but Grimlock refuses to leave a 'bot behind and convinces the other Dinobots to join him on a rescue mission. Little do the Dinobots realize, however, that their conversation has been listened in on by a mysterious third party: the enigmatic [[Ser-Ket (Prime)\|Ser-Ket]].

	Trekking out to the wreckage of Magnus's fighter, the Dinobots discover that something has already beaten them there: a [[Predacon (Prime)\|Predacon]], one of the monstrous creatures from Cybertron's ancient past that Sludge deduces must have been recreated by [[Shockwave (WFC)\|Shockwave]], the architect of their own prehistoric makeovers. After the Predacon fells Swoop, Grimlock transforms to dinosaur mode and brings the beast down in a short yet ferocious battle. Unfortunately, Grimlock loses control of himself and turns on his own troops, seizing Sludge in his jaws. The other Dinobots manage to calm him down enough to transform back to robot mode, but in the chaos, the Predacon recovers and flies off with Swoop in its clutches.

	*It should not come as any surprise to learn that there are a few notable contradictions between this comic and the events of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron\|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game, as this is par for the course when dealing with the [[Aligned continuity family]]. However, they do stand out a bit more, as this comic has been ''actively trailed'' by its creative team as bridging the gap between the game and upcoming events in the third season of the [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)\|''Prime'' cartoon]]. Though the Dinobots' story is obviously the same as seen in the game—given dinosaur forms by Shockwave based on his study of [[Earth]], with Grimlock's beast form tied into his mounting rage—the fact that the game ended with Sludge in stasis lock (before even ''gaining'' a dinosaur mode) and Grimlock disappearing in a space bridge explosion, while both are present here, nags at the edge of one's consciousness a bit.		*It should not come as any surprise to learn that there are a few notable contradictions between this comic and the events of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron\|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game, as this is par for the course when dealing with the [[Aligned continuity family]].

	*Similarly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' presents the ''[[Ark (WFC)\|Ark]]'' as the ''last'' of the Autobot ships to the leave the planet, with a fleet of others departing before it at the close of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)\|previous game]], while here, many Autobots and ships are departing ''after'' Prime and Megatron have already left. However, this ''is'' in-line with events depicted in the ''[[Transformers: Exodus\|Exodus]]'' novel, which had plenty of Autobots remain behind on Cybertron—under the command of Ultra Magnus, no less, as seen in this issue.		*Similarly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' presents the ''[[Ark (WFC)\|Ark]]'' as the ''last'' of the Autobot ships to the leave the planet, with a fleet of others departing before it at the close of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)\|previous game]], while here, many Autobots and ships are departing ''after'' Prime and Megatron have already left.

This Aligned-verse version of the [[Impactor (G1)\|Generation 1 character]] was previously mentioned in the ''Prime'' cartoon episode "[[Loose Cannons]]" as a member of the [[Wrecker]]s. That he is heard here reporting to Ultra Magnus creates a point of further continuity with ''Exodus'', which presented Magnus as the Wreckers' leader.		*While not appearing on panel, the voice of Impactor is heard on the first page.
