==Notes==
==Notes==
===Artwork and technical errors===
===Continuity notes===
*Megatron still has his off-center [[insignia]]. This is most likely due to the way his character model was drawn. See [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Notes|the note on Megatron's page]] for more information.
*At the time of this issue's publication, ''The Transformers'' was still being written as if it took place within the mainstream [[Marvel Comics]] universe. As such, a footnote on the first page informs readers that "the events of this story take place before ''[[Avengers]]'' #257," in which the alien [http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Terminus_(Destroyer)_(Earth-616) Terminus] ravaged the Savage Land, destroying the alien machinery that maintained its tropical climate. This is the last such direct reference to the wider Marvel Universe in the comic.
*Shockwave is colored as Megatron for 2 panels in his battle with the Dinobots.
*Slag's memories provide a more detailed account of the Dinobots' battle with Shockwave, originally partially seen in [[The Last Stand|issue #4]].
*When Shockwave arrives at the plant, Soundwave is alone. In the next panel, an oddly colored [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] is on his shoulder and appears to speak for Soundwave (whose mouthplate is miscolored also).
*Shockwave reveals that he has already used the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] within Optimus Prime to program six new Decepticon lives, which he now intends to build bodies for using the aerospace plant's facilities. We didn't realize it at the time, but we saw this happening on the final page of [[The New Order|issue #5]], as energy was siphoned from Prime's head into a glowing cube. <!--Previous note here that claimed this was an error, not realizing Shockwave did this BEFORE Prime transferred the Matrix to Buster. Note said "Letter columns confirmed that some residual energy remained in Prime's head."--what issues? They were wrong and didn't need to anyway.-->
*Page 18: Ratchet's head crest is missing as he and the Dinobots stand over Megatron. We should be able to see it poking out on either side of his helmet.
*The Dinobots disappear from the US series following this issue, only showing back up in a year's time in [[Command Performances!|issue #19]]. The UK series provided an explanation for their absence in a series of original stories that began in the following UK issue.
*'''Bot Roster:'''
**''Autobots:'' 6 active, as the Dinobots return to the fold; 16 inactive plus Optimus Prime held captive
**''Decepticons:'' 10 active; Megatron missing in action


===Continuity errors===
===Continuity and plotting errors===
*The machinery aboard the Ark that rebuilds the Dinobots does not resemble the [[:File:Combat deck marvel 1.jpg|revival drones]] that would rebuild the rest of the Transformers 4 million years later in [[The Transformers (issue)|issue #1]].
*The machinery aboard the Ark that rebuilds the Dinobots does not resemble the [[:File:Combat deck marvel 1.jpg|revival drones]] that would rebuild the rest of the Transformers four million years later in [[The Transformers (issue)|issue #1]].
*Snarl's actions in the flashback are a very good match for Sludge's character bios. Sludge's toy [[bio]] has the lowest intelligence and notes that he's often the victim of self-inflicted calamities. His [[The Transformers Universe|''Universe'' profile]] goes on to say that he often has to be dug out of the rubble he brought down on himself. In the issue, Snarl brings rubble down on the Dinobots and is repeatedly called dumb.
*Based on his actions during the Dinobots' battle with Shockwave, Snarl appears to have been confused for Sludge. Sludge's [[bio]] describes his low intelligence, and how he is often the victim of "self-inflicted calamities," having to be "dug out of the rubble he brings down upon himself."  In the issue, Snarl brings rubble down on the Dinobots and is repeatedly called dumb.
*Narration this issue claims Josie Beller "cannot move or left (her right arm) on her own," but just last issue, her right arm was described as the one part of his body she ''could'' move.


===Continuity notes===
===Artwork and technical errors===
*Although this is advertised as the introduction of the Dinobots, they had actually been introduced by flashback in [[The Last Stand|issue #4]]. This issue features their recovery from the Savage Land in the present day.
*Repeating an error from issues [[Prisoner of War!|#3]], [[Last Stand|#4]], and [[Warrior School!|#7]], Megatron still has his off-center Decepticon [[insignia]], a result of the artist misinterpreting the geometry of his character model. See [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Notes|the note on Megatron's page]] for more information.
*Optimus Prime transferred the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] in "[[The Worse of Two Evils!]]", why is Shockwave still able to use it to create new life? Letter columns confirmed that some residual energy remained in Prime's head. This energy was used on the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], but tapped out before [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] could be completed.
*Shockwave finally settles into his finalized color scheme this issue, with his shoulders being colored in purple like the rest of his body. His hand and gun are typically a lighter purple than the rest of him, but in this issue, they are an especially light pink-purple.
*The Savage Land setting is the last vestige of the story occurring within the larger Marvel Universe; after this, ''Transformers'' would be totally in its own world. A footnote on page 1 indicates this story takes place before ''Avengers'' #257 (in which the Savage Land is destroyed).
*As in the previous issue, Optimus Prime's head is drawn as missing its antenna-ears.
 
*In dinosaur mode, Slag's head is colored golden yellow. Though this is how he looks in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], it's the only time he'll look this way in the comic; future issues color his dino-head greyish-purple. Both are derived from the toy, the head of which is golden chrome inside translucent smokey-grey plastic.
===Real-life references===
*Page 1: There's a large yellow smear across Ratchet's pelvis, and the sides of his helmet are also colored yellow.
*Apart from Ratchet's excursion to Antarctica, we're in the usual setting: [[Portland]] and rural [[Oregon]], including an unnamed mountain in the [[Cascade Range|Cascades]].
*Page 7, panels 3-4: Snarl is colored like Slag. In panel 4, bot his dino-mode tail [[kibble]], and Grimlock's "wings," are miscolored as if they are part of the shuttlecraft in the background.
*Pages 8-10: Grimlock's dino-mode neck is solid grey instead of yellow.
*Page 10, panels 1 & 3: Shockwave is colored like Megatron.
*Page 13, panels 4-5: Soundwave is initially alone when Shockwave arrives at the plant, only for Laserbeak to have suddenly appeared on his shoulder in the next panel. Laserbeak is oddly colored with an orange head, and Soundwave's mouthplate is the same strong purple color as the rest of his body.
*Page 15: Megatron's Decepticon insignia is uncolored.
*Page 18, panel 1: Ratchet's head crest looks like it's; we should be able to see it poking out on either side of his helmet. The same happens on page 22, panel 1.

Ratchet recovers the Dinobots, and together they fight Megatron.

Synopsis

We have made... another commercial

Ratchet journeys by shuttle to the Savage Land to locate the Dinobots, who fought Shockwave there shortly after the Ark crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. He uses his M.A.R.B. to locate Cybertronian life deep in a tarpit. After a lot of digging, he locates Slag, and uses a memory probe to view the Dinobots' battle with Shockwave, and their subsequent entombment. Slag awakens and, after recognizing Ratchet as an Autobot, readily agrees to help finish the job they'd started: destroying Shockwave.

Shockwave checks in on Megatron, who has been left to guard the Ark alone and has prepared the head of Optimus Prime for transport to the aerospace plant recently captured by the Decepticons; Shockwave is pleased and comments that he may have to raise his odds-of-having-to-destroy-Megatron calculations.

Shockwave returns to the plant with Optimus Prime's head, effortlessly defeating an Army force that has surrounded the plant. Within, he prepares to begin the construction of a new generation of Decepticons, using the Matrix program within Prime.

Ratchet contacts Megatron, and shows him video footage of the Dinobots defeating Shockwave. With his end of the bargain fulfilled, he arranges for Megatron to meet him on a nearby mountain. When Ratchet arrives, Megatron promptly threatens to kill him. This breaks the bargain... and the hidden Dinobots burst forth from the snow. Turns out Ratchet knew Megatron wouldn't hold up his end of the Rite of Oneness, and the video was from the Dinobots' tussle with Shockwave four million years ago.

But despite the Dinobots' power, Megatron beats them all, leaving Ratchet to face him alone once more. Determined to fight like a warrior, even to the death, Ratchet tries to carry them both over a cliff edge. Though Megatron doesn't budge, the impact weakens the cliff beneath him, and Megatron is sent tumbling away. He transforms into his gun mode in a desperate effort to survive, but disappears into the snow and is not seen again. With Megatron thus defeated, the Ark and the Autobots are free.

Meanwhile, Josie Beller, a series of printed circuit strips laced onto her arm, fires an energy bolt that destroys her hospital room's television. She speculates that she's about ready to check out...

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Quotes

"Uhh... I really haven't the time to find out what you want, tubular, carbon-based life form! Could you please find someone else to talk to?"

-Ratchet vs. a snake


"You seem to be adjusting well to taking orders... instead of giving them! I had calculated only a 27.6% chance that I wouldn't have had to destroy you due to an act of insubordination. I may have to revise that figure upward."

-Is Shockwave oblivious to how much he's egging on Megatron, or is he doing it on purpose?


Notes

Continuity notes

  • At the time of this issue's publication, The Transformers was still being written as if it took place within the mainstream Marvel Comics universe. As such, a footnote on the first page informs readers that "the events of this story take place before Avengers #257," in which the alien Terminus ravaged the Savage Land, destroying the alien machinery that maintained its tropical climate. This is the last such direct reference to the wider Marvel Universe in the comic.
  • Slag's memories provide a more detailed account of the Dinobots' battle with Shockwave, originally partially seen in issue #4.
  • Shockwave reveals that he has already used the Creation Matrix within Optimus Prime to program six new Decepticon lives, which he now intends to build bodies for using the aerospace plant's facilities. We didn't realize it at the time, but we saw this happening on the final page of issue #5, as energy was siphoned from Prime's head into a glowing cube.
  • The Dinobots disappear from the US series following this issue, only showing back up in a year's time in issue #19. The UK series provided an explanation for their absence in a series of original stories that began in the following UK issue.
  • Bot Roster:
    • Autobots: 6 active, as the Dinobots return to the fold; 16 inactive plus Optimus Prime held captive
    • Decepticons: 10 active; Megatron missing in action

Continuity and plotting errors

  • The machinery aboard the Ark that rebuilds the Dinobots does not resemble the revival drones that would rebuild the rest of the Transformers four million years later in issue #1.
  • Based on his actions during the Dinobots' battle with Shockwave, Snarl appears to have been confused for Sludge. Sludge's bio describes his low intelligence, and how he is often the victim of "self-inflicted calamities," having to be "dug out of the rubble he brings down upon himself." In the issue, Snarl brings rubble down on the Dinobots and is repeatedly called dumb.
  • Narration this issue claims Josie Beller "cannot move or left (her right arm) on her own," but just last issue, her right arm was described as the one part of his body she could move.

Artwork and technical errors

  • Repeating an error from issues #3, #4, and #7, Megatron still has his off-center Decepticon insignia, a result of the artist misinterpreting the geometry of his character model. See the note on Megatron's page for more information.
  • Shockwave finally settles into his finalized color scheme this issue, with his shoulders being colored in purple like the rest of his body. His hand and gun are typically a lighter purple than the rest of him, but in this issue, they are an especially light pink-purple.
  • As in the previous issue, Optimus Prime's head is drawn as missing its antenna-ears.
  • In dinosaur mode, Slag's head is colored golden yellow. Though this is how he looks in the cartoon, it's the only time he'll look this way in the comic; future issues color his dino-head greyish-purple. Both are derived from the toy, the head of which is golden chrome inside translucent smokey-grey plastic.
  • Page 1: There's a large yellow smear across Ratchet's pelvis, and the sides of his helmet are also colored yellow.
  • Page 7, panels 3-4: Snarl is colored like Slag. In panel 4, bot his dino-mode tail kibble, and Grimlock's "wings," are miscolored as if they are part of the shuttlecraft in the background.
  • Pages 8-10: Grimlock's dino-mode neck is solid grey instead of yellow.
  • Page 10, panels 1 & 3: Shockwave is colored like Megatron.
  • Page 13, panels 4-5: Soundwave is initially alone when Shockwave arrives at the plant, only for Laserbeak to have suddenly appeared on his shoulder in the next panel. Laserbeak is oddly colored with an orange head, and Soundwave's mouthplate is the same strong purple color as the rest of his body.
  • Page 15: Megatron's Decepticon insignia is uncolored.
  • Page 18, panel 1: Ratchet's head crest looks like it's; we should be able to see it poking out on either side of his helmet. The same happens on page 22, panel 1.

UK printing

Issue #27:

  • Back-up strips: Machine Man ("He Lives Again," Part 1), Robo-Capers and Matt and the Cat
  • With this issue, the comic went from fortnightly to weekly, and changed from partially color/partially black-and-white to full color, a format change that would last all the way up to issue #215. As the price rose from 25p to 30p, the design and layout was revised and the number of pages shortened, settling on 12 pages of Transformer action, one 6 page backup strip and two half page funnies.

Issue #28:

Other trivia

  • The cover features only Grimlock, Slag and Sludge—without Snarl and Swoop. These same three Dinobots were initially introduced in the animated series episode "S.O.S. Dinobots" before their remaining two companions, and the same three only were seen in the commercial animation for the Dinobot toys. Coincidence?
  • IDW's Classic Transformers reprint censored the editor's note on page 1 that mentioned the Savage Land and Avengers #257.

IDW edits

For The Transformers Classics series of trade paperbacks, IDW Publishing "remastered" the coloring of the series with varying degrees of success. These changes were sometimes to fix errors, but often to alter characters' color schemes to make them resemble their toy and/or cartoon selves, and were rarely applied with consistency. IDW's recolored version was also used for Hachette's Definitive G1 Collection.

  • Page 7, panel 2: A yellow printing haze around Snarl's grey forehead crest is misinterpreted, and the whole crest winds up recolored yellow. Snarl himself is still the wrong colors.
  • Page 10: Shockwave's colors are corrected.
