	* The correct answer for the fifth question is Artfire, an Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)\|Targetmaster]] remolded from [[Inferno (G1)\|Inferno]] for the ''Headmasters'' toyline. Illustrating this question is a panel of him, [[Chromedome (G1)\|Chromedome]], and [[Ricochet (Headmasters)\|Stepper]] from the ''United'' comic "[[The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos]]" (art by [[Guido Guidi]]) published in the second volume of ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]''.

	* The "Last Issue Review" serves to help smooth over the conflicting origins of the Constructicons from the original ''Transformers'' cartoon; initially presented as newly-built Decepticons in "[[Heavy Metal War]]", the season 2 episode "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)\|The Secret of Omega Supreme]]" would depict them as neutral robots brainwashed by Megatron, and season 3 episode "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]" would contradict both by depicting them as the creator of Megatron. Previous ''Wings'' fiction had elected to ignore "Five Faces", depicting them as a separate group of Constructicons; this installment goes with "The Secret of Omega Supreme", depicting them as being part of the war on Cybertron, and retconning "Heavy Metal War" by indicating that they were repaired by Megatron, rather than built from scratch.		* The "Last Issue Review" serves to help smooth over the conflicting origins of the Constructicons from the original ''Transformers'' cartoon; initially presented as newly-built Decepticons in "[[Heavy Metal War]]", the season 2 episode "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)\|The Secret of Omega Supreme]]" would depict them as neutral robots brainwashed by Megatron, and season 3 episode "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]" would contradict both by depicting them as the creator of Megatron.

	* The correct answer for the third question is Flip Sides, a cassette Transformer sold with the ''Collector's Edition'' reissue of [[Blaster (G1)\|Twincast]]. She's illustrated with the image of her from her toy bio card. The other options include feedback and projector, fairly generic terms, and Rosanna, an Autobot cassette from ''Kiss Players'' who shares the [[Rewind (G1)\|Rewind]]/[[Eject (G1)\|Eject]] molds. The two's ''Animated'' counterparts have hinted a connection before, with ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II\|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' implying that [[Rosanna (Animated)\|Rosanna]] is a Decepticon sleeper agent code named [[Flip Sides (Animated)\|Flip Sides]].		* The correct answer for the third question is Flip Sides, a cassette Transformer sold with the ''Collector's Edition'' reissue of [[Blaster (G1)\|Twincast]].

	I-QUEUE proceeds to go further into a topic from last time; the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructions]]. In one particular universe, the combined Constructicons, known as [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]], won the Decepticons multiple battles during the Third Cybertronian War. A group of desperate Autobots ambushed the six at [[Elevation Recostalus]], neutralizing them before they could combine. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the end; by 1984, [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] had gathered enough resources to repair them. Having their bodies sent over via [[space bridge]], the Decepticon leader re-built them, and had [[Scrapper (G1)\|Scrapper]] replace [[Hook (G1)\|Hook]] as leader to remind them that he does not accept failures.
