Notes
[edit]- Characters mentioned in the Dread Pirate Crew's profile (aside from members of the Dread Pirate Crew) include: Pounce, Wingspan, Cannonball, Scorponok, and the Navigator.
- The Dread Pirates were all introduced on the Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur Facebook page.
- Characters mentioned in Flamewar's profile include: Megatron, Optimus Prime, the Cybertronian Knights, the Star Seekers, and the Oracle.
- Flamewar was captured with the Star Seekers in BotCon 2014's "Hoist the Flag".
- Optimus Primal's mantra from the Beast Machines series, "the seeds of the future lay buried in the past," is used here, with Flamewar relying on the time-displaced Star Seekers for the Decepticon's future.
- The cover's mock-up image of Krok is not the same one seen at BotCon 2014. Its head is now a computer render (rather than being the original Krok's head photoshopped on) and there are some small deco changes.
