Errors

• Skids and Mudflap are described as "highly intelligent" in "Meet the Team".
• Some of the pictures of Optimus appear to have the colours slightly off, with his blue parts looking distinctly purple.
• Starscream's alternate mode is described on page 50 as an "F-22 Raptor Airoplane".

Items of note

• Characters referred to but not directly featured in the puzzles or in "Sam in Danger" include Jazz, Jetfire, Wheelie, Sideways, Soundwave, Scorponok.
• The Fallen is aided in his quest to harvest Earth's sun by "some other evil Transformers", and the Primes arrive later to stop him.
• The star harvester is referred to throughout as the "Star Harvester".
• Apparently The Fallen "suffered a terrible fate and was sucked through a black hole into another dimension".
• Skids and Mudflap know some really awful jokes.
