	*The stripe on the side of Skids's vehicle mode is consistently miscolored this issue: it ''should'' be a thick red stripe bordered by thin white stripes, but the area that should be red is always colored "unpainted" blue like the rest of him, while the lower bordering stripe is red instead of white (except in instances noted below). It's ''so'' consistent, it might well be an early color model or something.		*The stripe on the side of Skids's vehicle mode is consistently miscolored this issue: it ''should'' be a thick red stripe bordered by thin white stripes, but the area that should be red is always colored "unpainted" blue like the rest of him, while the lower bordering stripe is red instead of white (except in instances noted below).

			*Speaking of consistency: Throughout most of this issue, Ravage is drawn with only a single missile on his left, which is actually a case of ''good'' continuity since he launched the missile on his right at Skids at the end of the previous issue. ''However'', a few panels still get it wrong:
