Notes

• Writer Ian Flynn, writer/artist Evan Stanley, and artist Adam Bryce Thomas are all primarily known for their work on the Sonic franchise, chiefly the various comic books produced by Archie Comics and IDW Publishing.
• Sonic once fought a very Transformers-inspired robot named Speed 5000 in issue #20 of Archie Comics' Sonic X series, written by former Dreamwave Productions writers James McDonough and Adam Patyk.
• In the backup story of issue #119 of Archie's main Sonic the Hedgehog series, text on Rotor's notes and equipment features no less than 35 different Transformers references, including character namedrops ranging from Ironhide and Mirage to Star Convoy and Ginrai, a thank you note to Pat Lee, and most bizarrely, a set of books with the title "Beast Wars R4 Dummies". Guess we know where Nelson Ribiero's allegiances lie.
• In issue #44 of the IDW Publishing Sonic the Hedgehog comic, the Matrix of Leadership can be seen on a shelf in Dr. Starline's lab, in a panel where he refers to Belle the Tinkerer as "more than meets the eye".
• To promote the release of the third Sonic film, a special poster print of Shadow the Hedgehog was given away to the first 300 Transformers One ticket holders at participating theaters.
• Dan Jolley, the writer of G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II, Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel, and a few video games, later went on to lead the writers' room for the 2026 audio serial Sonic the Hedgehog Presents: The Chaotix Casefiles.
