Synopsis

Fun Publications is going out with a bang,
SO WE'RE GONNA WRECK AND RULE!


(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Quotes

Notes

Errors

  • On Page 3, "The Wrecker commander strode over to blue and black robot who had just unleashed the scathing rant," is missing a "the" between "to" and "blue".
  • On Page 11, the word "Fractyl's" is at one point misspelled as "Fracty’ls".

Continuity notes

  • The Wreckers picked up Bluestreak's distress signal in the previous prose story, "Deadly Aim".
  • Thunder Mayhem arrived on Earth in the magazine comic story "Divination".

Transformers references

Real world references

  • Cergo name-drops two planets called Eska and Desna, named after the creepy twins from The Legend of Korra.
  • The Teklaans are an alternate version of Marvel's Mekkans, a race of servant robots used to terraform the planet Maarin (referred to by name in this story) before their creators perished from a virus. Additionally, Cergo seems to be based upon Torgo, the first Mekkan, although decidedly more evil.
