Notes

Characters mentioned in Sentinel Minor's bio include: Big Bang, Halonix Maximus, Powerflash, and Ranger.
- Sentinel is noted to be part of the "Sentinel Line", a military model that shares a blue and orange coloration. This ties in with the retcon that the "U-Haul Robot" seen in Transformers episode "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" as being Sentinel Prime, established by [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II].
- Sentinel used to be part of the Advanced Observation Unit until the events of the origial "Wings of Honor" comic.
Ricochet's bio establishes he likes to overrate his abilities, making light of his original characterization as the most skilled Transformer ever. Ricochet's creator, Ben Yee, even admitted he was based on a character he created when he was young.
In a bit of an unusual move, the comic story takes place across pages 9-14 as opposed to 10-15. This is possibly to keep Bruticus's 'reveal' across a page turn.
