Notes
[edit]- Escalation #3 refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway soviet state", which is corroborated by issue 4. While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting of Escalation, issues 5 and 6 replace "soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
- In the Cybertron episode, "Hidden", two Air Force jets are very similar in model to Thundercracker, but in a basic gray color scheme. However, the model of fighter jet is of Russian make, while the pilots are American.
