Notes
- This illustrations in this story were designed using colour photographs from the film.
- Transformer deaths are understandably scaled back in this adaptation. For example, when the Decepticons attack Ironhide's shuttle, it simply says, "the Autobot crew had been overcome."
- The combat drone Hot Rod spars with is called the auto-combatant.
- Many, but not all, of the spoken lines are direct quotes from the movie.
Differences with the movie
- In the beginning, when Laserbeak was spying on Moonbase 1, he is actually hidden in a computer console in tape mode.
