	*This is the last time any of the Protectobots turn up in the Marvel US stories. Apart from Streetwise showing up in the UK story "[[Stargazing]]", and the off-line First Aid getting a mention in UK story "[[The Greatest Gift of All!]]", none of them turn up until 1993's "[[Final Transformations]]", not even to get wiped out in the [[Underbase]] stories! Considering they were left behind on Earth last issue, ''and'' just disobeyed an order from Grimlock, ''and'' are missing from the big group shot in issue #41, ''and'' art errors have Sandstorm and Twin Twist showing up out of nowhere on the Ark—it's not 100% clear that the Protectobots should have been in this issue.		*This is the last time any of the Protectobots turn up in the Marvel US stories.
