Notes

  • Grimlock touches down in Cybertropolis, a Cybertronian city introduced in the Beast Machines cartoon.
  • Hot Rod threatens to put Grimlock in a variable voltage harness, an implement of torture that Grimlock himself was quite fond of in the original Marvel series, first appearing in issue #35, and often brought up in the UK comic's letters page.
  • Hot Rod had a vision of a demon—prototypical creations of Primus from the original Marvel series—in issue #84, which looks close to coming true.

Errors

  • Brainstorm now has a mouth, while Hardhead has a mouthplate, in contrast to their Marvel character models (though Hardhead's toy was similared mouth-plated, while Brainstorm spontaneously grew a mouth for the Headmasters animated series). Brainstorm is, however, still being colored as if he had a mouthplate, with a swathe of brownish-yellow covering the bottom half of his face.
  • In fact, Christ alone knows what's going on with Brainstorm this issue, as it's really only his color scheme and the use of his name that lets us know it's him—he doesn't look anything like himself except in the most basic of ways, and the specifics of his body design fluctuate all through the issue.
  • Crosshairs is colored blue and grey as he stands next to Hot Rod on page 7.
  • An excessively literal interpretation of Perceptor's original Marvel character model—which colored him as if he had his toy's mouthplate, with a splash of blue across the bottom half of his face, like Brainstorm in this issue—results in the lineart actually rendering him with a line horizontally bisecting his subsequently-dual-colored face.
