Notes

"I am definitely a madman who transforms into a boxy little car."

• "Doctor" is, of course, the Doctor, the main character of the long-running British science-fiction programme, Doctor Who. Starscream is probably picking up Revelation of the Daleks, a Colin Baker serial. But...
• ...the Doctor has twice encountered Death's Head in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strips, once in Death's Head's own comic (where DWM character Keepsake made a separate appearance), and a fourth time in the The Incomplete Death's Head miniseries. The first of these follows on from "The Legacy of Unicron!", with Death's Head careening from the Transformers' 2008 right into the TARDIS. And there are potentially some Daleks in the Transformers universe...
• Various Marvel UK Transformers creators have written for Doctor Who Magazine, itself a Marvel UK title:
  • Simon Furman wrote several stories at the same time he was writing for the Marvel Transformers comic. This included the first Death's Head crossover and the Keepsake story.
  • Dan Abnett wrote a number of Magazine strips in the late 80s and early 90s, as well as The Incomplete Death's Head.
  • Steve Parkhouse and John Ridgway are famous in Who fandom for their work on the Magazine, which included a long run of Sixth Doctor strips. Sleepy Stansham is not too far removed from Stockbridge, a sleepy village from Parkhouse's strips.
  • Mike Collins has a lengthy, still-going association with the strip.
• Pyro Ignatius Spark's personality in "Generation 2: Redux" seems to be based on David Tennant's incarnation of the Doctor.
• The character Natasha Pyraniac from the Animated adventure Time-Quake seems to be based on / influenced by one of the Doctor's foes, the Rani.
• Skids' holomatter avatar in "Cybertronian Homesick Blues" was based on Matt Smith's incarnation of the Doctor. Later, in "The One Where They Go to Earth" it resembled Christopher Eccleston's earlier version of the character.
• The last "Ask Vector Prime" entry on Facebook showed Vector's holomatter avatar resembled Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor.
  • Likewise, the Ask Vector Prime logo is a parody of one of the Doctor Who logos.
• The Timelines story "Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur" references Trenzalore, the planet on which the Eleventh Doctor was killed in an averted timeline.
