Notes
[edit]- This is the only Robo-Capers strip to feature "real" Transformers without reference to the letters page, or some other fourth wall-breaking device and could be said to fit into Marvel UK continuity, if one so desired.
- As such, it has the dubious honour of adding defecation to the humanisation canon, which raises all sorts of complicated questions.
- Or we could just treat it as a joke and nothing more.
