Synopsis
Featured characters
(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
Notes
- This story was "double-shipped" after the month's regular issue as the first part of a giant-sized 2023 "Summer Vacation Special" of the web comic, sporting seven whole pages.
- It advertised the Dark of the Moon Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts Arcee figures from the Studio Series toyline, Optimus Primal and Cheetor from War for Cybertron: Kingdom, and the first collected edition of Go! Go! released the previous month.
Continuity notes
- This issue provides explicit confirmation that for all its deference to the original Beast Wars cartoon elsewhere, the comic's Beast Wars cast exist alongside the Generation 1 characters in the present day, without any indication of the convoluted timeline (or dramatic size differences) of the cartoon.
Transformers references
- This adventure starring Bumblebee, Arcee, Primal and Cheetor in a hunt for mysterious treasure in the heart of the jungle is a pretty transparent pastiche of the blockbuster film Rise of the Beasts, which premiered in Japan a couple weeks prior and which Go! Go! has been plugging all year.
- In a particular cheeky nod to the film, Wheeljack cameos in this issue inexplicably wearing the glasses of his live-action counterpart.
