Notes
[edit]- This volume's featured toy is the Transformers Collection reissue of Blaster.
- Steeljaw is shown in tape mode in this installment, but he is not identified by name nor is there any real visual clue to let the reader know the tape Blaster gives 15 is Steeljaw. We find that out next volume.
- Blaster handing off a cassette in an effort to cheer someone up with music (that was eventually revealed to be horribly depressing) echoes Blaster doing the same thing to Daniel in The Headmasters.
- The art on this page is a lot less detailed than the previous comics, with very little zip-tone shading to boot. It's likely that since Ohshima had been tapped to draw the ongoing Kiss Players manga around that time, that he was in a rush on this piece.
