Errors
[edit]- The ad reprint on page 7 describes the toy shown as being "Bumble-Jumper"[sic], even though it is actually a yellow Cliffjumper (with Micro Change stickers, no less). The same erroneous reference is made on page 19.
- Page 10 notes that the tagline "Warrior Robots in Disguise" was used on early toy packaging and merchandise, however the only instance of this tagline being used in earnest outside the UK comic were the UK market pack-in toy catalogs. This might have been an intended tagline for the toyline, before the decision was made to go with that "More Than Meets The Eye" thing, and someone just forgot to tell the UK guys that...
- Page 71: Issue #25's cover information fails to mention the free gift as per other cover blurbs. The free gift is the cover mounted Kellogg's Corn Flakes model airliner.
- Page 204: The first panel is missing its first two word bubbles (Jazz: "It's a fine construction, Buster... What does it do?" Buster: "It doesn't do anything, Jazz, it's a symbol of charity.") The space where these first two word bubbles are supposed to be is instead left blank white, making the rest of Jazz's and Buster conversation read awkwardly without its beginning.
