Notes

The comic in this issue stays on pages 9–14, even though there's no big page-turn effect like last issue. Future issues will continue to move it around to make way for other features.
Characters mentioned in Ironfist's bio include: Magnum.
- Ironfist once attempted to reproduce the BAMF-12602, one of the most complex Cybertronian weapons; it takes its name from the noise Marvel Comics hero Nightcrawler makes while teleporting.
Characters mentioned in Bruticus' bio include: Deathsaurus, the Combaticons, Onslaught, Swindle, and the Stealth Team.
- Bruticus' function is listed as "Instrument of Destruction", after the song from The Transformers: The Movie.
- Deathsaurus was experimenting with combiner technology in Gygax before being forced to abandon the base when it was found by the Stealth Team; Gygax was first mentioned in "The New World", named for Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax, and would later appear in the heavily DnD-influenced "Dungeons & Dinobots". This base was mentioned by Hook and Sprocket in "A Team Effort"; the latter alluding to its discovery by him and the rest of the Stealth Team.
