[[Hook (G1)|Hook]] was apparently supplanted by [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] as punishment for his failure. The section is illustrated with new artwork by [[Dan Khanna]] that shows the team battling their old comrade [[Hauler]] as well as [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], in a nod to the character's [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio that humorously described him as former member of the team. --> | |||

- Characters mentioned in Flamefeather's bio include: Jhiaxus, Runabout, and Runamuck.
- Flamefeather is presented as having a cunning mind behind all his aggression, which lead Jhiaxus to make him the planner for the Runamuck and Runabout's raids. This comes from his Generation 2 toy, whose function and motto depicted him as a skilled planner, compared to his original bio which depicted him as being a dumb. violent brute.
- This issue promised that a poll would eventually be held on Transformersclub.com so that Club members could vote on which of the cosplayers seen on the cover would win the best BotCon 2012 costume prize.
