Items of note
- This issue's eye-searingly packed cover is, well... let's just call it a collage of bots. And the the Statue of Liberty is there, too.
- David Willis wrote the profile for Ravage, but is not listed among the issue's credits. It's less than half a page in length, with rest devoted to showing off Sky Lynx's other modes.
