Notes

• This book contains no storyline, just a series of line art drawings of various characters gearing up for or engaging in battle. Bumblebee and Optimus Prime make cameos, being declared "Rulers of the Universe!" Yeah.
• There are a multitude of unnamed Decepticon jets identical to Starscream. Starscream himself is probably the one who quotes his Tech Spec motto.
• Inferno is lacking the wings on his ears so he looks more like Grapple, but Grapple didn't have a G2 toy.
