Notes

This issue finally includes credits for the newsletter staff.
Two profiles are included this time, one Autobot and one Decepticon. This is a trend which would continue throughout most issues in the magazine's run.
Characters mentioned in Vector Prime's bio include: Primus and Unicron.
Characters mentioned in Ramjet's bio include: Unicron, "ancient gods", and his Mini-Con crew.
- Ramjet attempted to assist Unicron at the end of the Powerlinx Battles, seen in the last episodes of the Energon cartoon.
- While never directly stated to be them, the ancient gods are obviously meant to be the Elder Gods created by H. P. Lovecraft.
- Ramjet is said to be as "crazy as a Quint in a Sharkticon pit."
