Notes
- Shockwave conceived the idea of using Megatron as a weapon in "Enemy Action!" and recovered Megatron's body in "Salvage!".
- The reference to Starscream is, of course, a reference to the events of The Transformers: The Movie, after the Battle of Autobot City, which is part of the future-past in one of the UK comic's timelines.
- Lee Sullivan had been doing covers for the UK comic for a while, but this was his first piece of strip work. His portrayal of Galvatron was based on the actor Jack Nicholson[1], though the crazy teeth aren't as prominent as they will be in later stories.
