Notes

• The inside cover art depicts Highbrow and Rodimus Prime fighting Mindwipe, Snapdragon, Apeface, Scorponok, Galvatron, Megatron and...Triton? It's probably safe to say it's not meant to fit into continuity, anyway.
• The first page exhorts the reader to "Safeguard your Annual from the Firecons!" and features artwork from issue #152. The Decepticon High Command has decreed that the Annual is anti-Decepticon and has sent the Firecons from Cybertron to incinerate all copies. Only by signing an Autobot citizenship card can the reader gain the protection of Emirate Xaaron.
• Throughout the Annual, there are a series of "Mini-Posters", reprinting artwork from the weekly comic:
  • Megatron and Brawl from the cover of issue #107
  • Scorponok and Highbrow from the cover of issue #157
  • Rodimus Prime from the cover of issue #113
• Overbite is called 'Jawbreaker' on his Bio page.
