Notes
- The 'From the Editor's Desk...' segment on page 2 includes a single, unique panel of Mini Mayhem which features Shattered Glass Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and... Eric Siebenaler?
- The bios for Slag and the three Junior Headmasters (plus Minerva) are here to promote "Cheap Shots", which in turn exists to promote Timelines Nightbeat.
- Characters mentioned in Slag's bios include: Sludge, Grimlock, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Nightbeat, and Quig.
- Slag left the Graviton's crew when Grimlock left to join up with Optimus Prime in "Crossing Over".
- Slag slips into an uncontrollable rage every 4,000,000 years; this comes from the Marvel UK Transformers issue #280.
- Characters mentioned in the Nebulans' bios include: Nightbeat, Optimus Prime, Hosehead, and Siren.
- Minerva was a major in the Japan Self Defense Core near the end of the Transformers' war on Earth; presumably this meant to be the Japan Self-Defense Forces.
- Minerva was a part of Project Transtector, an attempt to build Transformer bodies for humans to pilot. The project is named for the Japanese version of the Head/Godmaster bodies.
- Hosehead died in Transformers issue #76.
- Meanwhile, the Transtech bios seem to be written in the style of MTMTE profiles, but the design and layout are completely unique to this issue and the two that follow it.
- Characters mentioned in Shockwave's bio include: Jhiaxus, the Liege Maximo, Megatron, and Sentinel Prime.
- An incident involving the Liege Maximo is mentioned; profiles in later issues would build on this.
- Funnily enough, IDW established that their version of Shockwave served under their Jhiaxus, as established in "Spotlight: Doubledealer", released the same month as this issue.
