As a result, the same weapon blast strikes Megatron's auto-avatar repeatedly, reducing it to scrap.

Notes
[edit]- The Convoy who appears in this story is the Nemesis Prime who previously appeared in the Fun Publications Cybertron magazine comic (note, though, that he has actually changed his personal name from Nemesis Prime to Convoy). That an individual iteration of a character in a relatively obscure Transformers comic gets reused in a different language is presumably due to Alternity writer Hirofumi Ichikawa's extensive knowledge of English language Transformers and collaboration with Fun Publications writers.
- Meanwhile, Elita Seven is a future version of Arcee from the Energon cartoon (specifically, the Japanese Super Link version, wherein she was known as "Ariel"). Geddit? Cause Generation 1 Elita One was previously known as "Ariel" before being upgraded into Elita One.
