	*Cyclonus was killed in issue #189 "[[Dry Run!]]".

	*When this story was written, it was with the intention that Megatron was the same guy we saw being blown up with the [[space bridge]] at the end of "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]". However, a few months later, the story "[[Two Megatrons!]]" would [[retcon]] him into actually being a [[cloning\|clone]] bearing the [[Spark\|mind]] of [[Straxus (G1)\|Straxus]] who ''thinks'' he's Megatron. Consequently, the events of this story leave open the (originally unintended) possibility that, in the original timeline, it was actually this Straxus-Megatron who was rebuilt into Galvatron by Unicron, rather than the genuine article.		*When this story was written, it was with the intention that Megatron was the same guy we saw being blown up with the [[space bridge]] at the end of "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]".

	*Galvatron actually starts off this story in a fairly sane state of mind (as he had in "[[Altered Image!]]") By the end of it he's attempting to destroy every Transformer that exists and screaming his defiance at the universe itself. [[A Savage Circle\|Hanging out with Megatron]] seems to have this effect on him (although to be fair, having half his face blasted off probably didn't help matters).		*Galvatron actually starts off this story in a fairly sane state of mind (as he had in "[[Altered Image!]]") By the end of it he's attempting to destroy every Transformer that exists and screaming his defiance at the universe itself.

Both the 'Transformation' and 'Mighty Marvel Checklist' pages in UK #204 confirm Galvatron is 'part lobotomised' by the Pathblaster.
	*Galvatron's main problem is that he starts to 'remember' the events of Time Wars from Megatron's point of view, and can see they're starting to happen differently to how he remembers. This is the very first time it's mentioned that he 'knows' these past events—and he should know all his various plots will fail if he's always known. This was presumably meant to be another effect of the timestorm (or potentially a result of his increasing psychosis).		*Galvatron's main problem is that he starts to 'remember' the events of Time Wars from Megatron's point of view, and can see they're starting to happen differently to how he remembers.

	*Rodimus Prime isn't ''really'' Optimus Prime's future self. Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime in the same era should not cause a time disruption despite what the two Primes believe (Rodimus Prime and ''Hot Rod'', however)... Apparently it is actually caused by the two holding the Matrix simultaneously.

	*And most glaring of all, the opening page of issue #203 claims, "The Underbase Saga takes place in its entirety before Time Wars begins." This is simply an impossibility since several present-day characters involved in "Time Wars" (like Blaster, Grimlock, the Dinobots, Ironhide, Hoist, and Goldbug) all meet their ends at end of the Underbase Saga. For "Time Wars" to have occurred ''after'' the Underbase Saga, these characters would have had to have not perished, or at least have been rebuilt immediately after. Yet, their deaths (along with those of many others) play a crucial role in the proceeding chapters that follow up from this massacre, and none of them die within the events of "Time Wars". The only way to properly fit "Time Wars" into the timeline without conflict would either be for it to take place within the middle of the Underbase Saga (as it was originally published), or for it to take place ''before'' the whole Underbase Saga occurred (a more ideal setting that doesn't interrupt the relatively serialized format of the Underbase Saga).		*And most glaring of all, the opening page of issue #203 claims, "The Underbase Saga takes place in its entirety before Time Wars begins."

	[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]] is giving a briefing to the other Autobots, in which he outlines his belief that the time storm is related to Galvatron. Meanwhile, outside the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]], [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]] is fretting over what to do with the head of [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Scorponok]] that he had captured. He wishes to end the threat of Scorponok, but is unwilling to kill him in cold blood. Before he can make a decision, he is attacked by the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster (technology)\|Targetmasters]] in an attempt to recover the head. They capture the head, but before they can destroy Highbrow, the other Autobots come to his rescue and a major battle ensues.

	*On page 4 of issue #200, Robin Smith draws Blaster with his Marvel US head.

	*The first page of issue #201 was originally printed with the wrong colours, as a result of the yellow and magneta plates of the CMYK printing process being switched. A similar blunder had previously happened with the US reprint in [[DIS-Integrated Circuits!\|issues #33 and 34]] and in [[Fallen Angel\|issue #101]] (though there, it was the cyan and magenta plates that got switched). This was corrected in the subsequent ''[[Transformers Collected Comics\|Collected Comics]]'' and [[Titan Books]] reprints, though the colors are still slightly off (especially the dark brown-ish red on Rodimus Prime). For [[Hachette]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Definitive G1 Collection]]'' Volume 15, [[John-Paul Bove]] faithfully corrected the colors to what they were originally intended to look like.		*The first page of issue #201 was originally printed with the wrong colours, as a result of the yellow and magneta plates of the CMYK printing process being switched.
