Notes

[edit]
  • The G2 annual seemed to occupy its own strange continuity where the Transformers awoke on Earth in 1994, and Megatron's Generation 2 'tank' form was his first body on Earth.
  • The crossword is particularly obtuse, and an apparently random numbering system (9 down is at the top, for some reason) doesn't help. For the record, the answers are:
  • Electro and Blitz's packaging art appears on puzzle pages, but the characters don't show up in any of the included stories.
  • Of course, the European names for the G2 characters are used throughout.
