Notes
[edit]- This is the final issue that omits credits for the newsletter staff.
- But it's the first issue to include a More than Meets the Eye-style profile! This one's for Skyfall, the Club's poster child for this year. His bio is an expanded version of the one included with his toy. Notes include:
- Skyfall hails from Velocitron, the Speed Planet, introduced in Transformers: Cybertron.
- Vorns are a unit of time introduced in issue #17 of the original Marvel The Transformers comic book.
- Skyfall is noted that despite being old, he hasn't developed any of the quirks other Velocitronians have; Brakedown, and indeed, many "old-timer" Transformers all have "funny old people"-type tics.
- Skyfall obtained Cybertron's coordinates from one of the Cybertronian visitors. Judging by the time frame indicated with both the comic storyline and the bio, this would be either Hot Shot or Red Alert, who arrived on the planet in Cybertron episode "Landmine".
