Quotes
"It was never gonna be Perceptor, was it? Or Springer or Impactor or Kup, if they were here. No, it was always going to be one of us—the second stringers".
"Yeah, just because we're not famous—not Ark-worthy—one of us has to bite the bullet.. well, I'm sorry, but this isn't how I'm supposed to die!"
- —Ironfist and Pyro are uncannily aware of Transformers literary convention
Errors
- The quadriplegic, comatose Fortress Maximus, who was recovered by Perceptor's team just outside the Aequitas chamber, is nowhere to be seen this issue.
Items of note
- In his weapons lab, Ironfist displays the sky-sled that Impactor used to rescue Xaaron, which he mentioned earlier as having purchased from a blind dealer. He also has the blast-shield gun that Guzzle uses throughout the series.
- Squadron X is composed of random hi-then-die non-toy Decepticons from the Marvel Generation 1 comics, both US and UK.
- Hey, look, it's Rack'n'Ruin!
- And holy crap, Nautilus!
- According to Snare, Overlord told his Decepticons that "play makes you free." This is a twist on the real-life German political slogan "Work makes you free", which the Nazis co-opted ironically by displaying it at the entrances of many concentration camps.
- The Rung-penned personality profiles return (for this issue any way). This time, they feature the bottomless well of Wreckers trivia, Ironfist, of all bots.
- Just like last issue, you can definitely tell which pages were done by Nick Roche by the hand-drawn insignias, where Guido Guidi's pages use digitally-inserted templates.
