Notes

• Characters mentioned in Sentinel Major's bio include: Big Bang, Halonix Maximus, Powerflash, and Ranger.
  • Sentinel is noted to be part of the "Sentinel Line", a military model that shares a blue and orange coloration. This ties in with the retcon that the "U-Haul Robot" seen in Transformers episode "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" as being Sentinel Prime, established by The AllSpark Almanac II. The prose story "A Team Effort", released a month earlier, made mention of another member of the Sentinel Line, Sentinel EnN.
  • Sentinel used to be part of the Advanced Observation Unit until the events of the origial "Wings of Honor" comic.
• Ricochet was established to be the Elite Guard's liaison to the High Council in "A Team Effort". He likes to overrate his abilities, making light of his original characterization as something of an "Original Character Do Not Steal." Ricochet's creator, Ben Yee, even admitted he was based on a "super-cool" character he created when he was young.
• In a bit of an unusual move, the comic story takes place across pages 9–14 as opposed to 10-15. This is probably to keep Bruticus's 'reveal' across a page turn.
