Notes
- Twelve profiles in one issue! That's gotta be some kind of record, right?
- Characters mentioned in the Animated tech specs include: Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Megatron, Lugnut, and the Omega Sentinels.
- The Animated tech specs are all modeled on the original Transformers Tech Specs, complete with decoder-pattern, with some characters sharing their mottos and functions with their counterparts. Much of the information in them would be expanded upon in Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II, including the idea that Lugnut is the consort of Strika; that Cyclonus appeared out of nowhere after the war; and that Blackout destoyed several Omega Sentinels in the war.
- Strika's functions is "General of Destruction," in reference to the Japanese title for the various Decepticon leader's, Emperor of Destruction.
- Characters mentioned in Optimus Prime's bio include: Megatron, the Liege Maximo, and Sentinel Prime.
- Optimus Prime's history is based on Barack Obama. His motto paraphrases Obama's keynote speech at 2004's Democratic National Convention.
- Like his Dreamwave Generation One counterpart, Prime used to be an archivist. He worked at Tyger Pax, a city introduced in The Age of Wrath.
- Characters mentioned in Megatron's bio include: Optimus Prime, Shockwave, and the Liege Maximo.
- This instalment of Around Cybertron ties into the prose story "I, Lowtech". Read that story to discover the diabolical significance of the plush lizard!
