Notes
[edit]- The third year of the magazine brings a lot of design changes, as well as the first big switch in the comic story.
- This is the first issue to have an actual cover! All the usual page 1 stuff moves to page 2, which now includes: a table of contents, "Brian's Bytes and Bolts", "From the Editor's Desk" (by Pete Sinclair), some credits, and a message for people who are moving. The chibi-Skyfall has been replaced by Landquake. This layout remains unchanged for the remainder of the magazine's run, so just assume it's like that unless you read otherwise.
- "Micro-Sized" appears for the first time, a page of comics and Mini-Con profiles.
- The Giant Planet Mini-Con Team's personalities are based on those of the Brothers Strong from long-running animated web series Homestar Runner; Longarm is Strong Mad, Overcast is Strong Bad, and Deepdive is Strong Sad.
- Longarm is described as being "sharp as a bowl of wet glitch mice"; glitch mice were originally mentioned in Generaton 1 cartoon episode "S.O.S. Dinobots".
- Characters mentioned in Grimlock's bio include: Bludgeon, Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Ultra Magnus.
- Characters mentioned in Mirage's bio include: Unicron and Optimus Prime.
- Mirage hunted in Langton's loopbrush, named after Langton's loops, a form of digital artificial life.
- Mirage hung out at O'Malley's, a bar previously named in "Dawn of Future's Past".
- The prologue to "The Dark Heart of Sandokan" is unique to this issue - the online story tells readers to check it out before reading.
