Notes

[edit]
  • Year seven of the magazine rolls around with almost no format or content changes at all. They've settled into quite the groove!
  • Characters mentioned in Landshark's profile include: Side Burn.
  • Characters mentioned in Starscream's profile include: Skyfire and Deathsaurus.
    • Starscream's past as a scientist and his friendship with Skyfire is mentioned, as seen in Transformers episode "Fire in the Sky".
    • Starscream's promotion is noted to have come after one of Deathsaurus' previous underlings died in an "accident"; this would be Falcon, who was killed in "A Team Effort".
    • Alongside the usual name for Decepticon jets (Seeker), the name Skyraider is mentioned, a lesser-seen alternative name having previously seen use in this continuity in "Wings of Honor".
  • This issue welcomes Jeremiah McNatt as a second proofreader in addition to Heather Choplin.
  • It didn't do much good, though - Bill Rawley's name is misspelled in the title of his interview.
