Notes

• Many of the gags in the manga derive from word puns that Japan is famous for. For example, Armada Megatron and Demolishor are "tanks" - 戦車 (せんしゃ sensha), but the pun on sensha is that it can also be written as 洗車 for "car wash". Result? Them going through the car wash. This makes translators flail and spazz in agony on trying to figure out how to keep the puns as intact as possible.
• Takarayama's name is written as タカラ山. And he turns out to be G1 Megatron's homeroom teacher.
• Armada Optimus and Energon Optimus are considered separate characters here, although mostly for comedic effect.
