Errors
- Oh lord, that COVER
- The comics continue to be recoloured, the magenta plates from the original continue to be lost which results in a very strange first page
- The prose story in mentions Megatron as "Decepticon Headmaster", severely misinterpreting the meaning of the designation. Likewise, "Powermaster" appears to be understood as a rank, as well.
- SEACON LEADER SNAP TRAP is somehow able to transform into Piranacon on his own
- The Decepticon plan revolves around SEACON LEADER SNAP TRAP being sneakily placed in New York disguised as a statue, to come out at night and trash the place. But as part of the deal, the Americans also agreed that various Decepticons can freely patrol the city to protect it. Perhaps Snap Trap just likes dressing up as a mime?
- The mayor of NY apparently has the power to dissolve the entirety of the United States military on the spot.
Items of note
- While the spacecraft model is noted to be plans discovered by the Transformers, the text also states that it is indeed a 'Transformers spacecraft'. Thus it can be ascertained that at some point, Cybertronian spaceship design revolved around thin card stock and glue sticks.
Advertisements
- The boxart image of Powermaster Prime to advertise the Transformer cartoon.
