Notes

Characters mentioned in Lyzack's bio include: Leozack and Deathsaurus.
- Leozack was captured by the Autobots in "Wings of Honor".
- Lyzack's search for her missing brother, and her finding his sword in an Autobot facility, are references to events from an Untitled Lyzack Story that would have bridged the gap between "The Coming Storm" and "Battle Lines", but which was never finished or published.
This issue contains the last Around Cybertron strip.
James Biggie would go on to create covers for some of IDW Publishing's comics.
