* Megawing Galvatron's instructions came with a short fiction blurb that cast Dreadwind and Smokejumper as [[Unicron Trilogy]] characters who utilize the [[Spark of Combination]] to combine with Galvatron. This is at odds with their profiles within the same issue.

You can't have this!
  • This is the first and only issue of 3H Productions' Collectors' Club Magazine, published before they lost the license to Fun Publications.
  • It's 8 inches by 12 inches! Woof!
  • Dan Khanna provided the art for the cover.
  • The back cover promises issue 2 will be "The Tribute to Arcee Issue!" This didn't happen, of course. The copy on the cover notes an interview with Sue Blu, "Metamorphosis" (a text story detailing Arcee's time between the end of the war and her change into a technorganic spider), and more reviews, profiles, and comic story reprints.
  • Rob Gerbracht wrote the profiles in this issue.
  • "Less Than Zero" was a safe-for-print adaptation of David Willis's "Dumbass Transformer of the Month" Internet feature. It made fun of Unicron.

Profile notes

  • Characters mentioned in the bios but not seen include: Unicron, the Liege Maximo, Galvatron, Koji Onishi, Primus, and Ultra Magnus.
  • The profiles for Megabolt, Jhiaxus and Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime explicitly discuss their abduction into the Universe War, while those for Dreadwind, Smokejumper and Sunstorm don't acknowledge any setting beyond assigning them to the Child of Primus Universe faction. The profile for Megazarak published in the OTFCC 2004 souvenir guide would subsequently take advantage of that fact to place those three characters in the "Shell Game" continuity. In contrast, the MegaWing Galvatron instructions in this same issue places Dreadwind and Smokejumper in the world of the Unicron Trilogy. Years later, Fun Publications' iteration of "Ask Vector Prime" would reconcile both sources by having the characters travel between dimensions.
  • The profile for Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime in this magazine is the first official instance that his Matrix is fully referred to as the "Matrix of Leadership". The Dimensional Patrol mentioned in his profile comes from Car Robots, although, with this being published in the early 2000s, nobody knew for sure if they were real.
