Notes
- The Warworld was used as the basis for a dice & card board game (of a fashion) called "Robots in Disguise Giant Battle Game", which was featured across two pages in issue 2 of the Fleetway book. The object of the game was to aide either the Autobots or Decepticons in capturing the heart of the Warworld. Kev F. Sutherland's rendering of the usually round vessel was highly angular and its customary colour scheme was somewhat altered.
