Notes

• Runamuck takes the place of Side Burn as this year's super deformed "Where It's At..." mascot.
• The first Transformers I.Q. feature appears here, taking Around Cybertron's spot on the back cover.

Errors

• Despite Side Burn getting replaced this issue, Richard Chang is still being credited for that design.
• Runamuck's bio repeats "Bio:" a second time under the "Bio" header.
