This comic is in two parts, clearly originally intended to come split between two different releases. According to author Simon Furman, he penned five mini-comics for inclusion with Takara products; these are obviously the third and fourth; the previous two included with the Masterpiece edition of Starscream. Where the fifth chapter will see print is currently unknown, but the reshuffling of the material is evidently due to the cancellation of the Unite for the Universe Jet Power Optimus Prime and Megatron figures, who would presumably have come with a comic each. The cancellation of Prime, in particular, makes the first of these comics a touch on the amusing side, since it's entirely based around promoting an unreleased figure.

The title for "Bludgeon's Revenge" on the cover is rendered as ブラジオンの復習 (Bludgeon no Fukushū), which actually means "Bludgeon's Revision". Too bad nobody revised that, eh? The title in the story itself, ブラジオンの復讐 (Bludgeon no Fukushū), actually means "Bludgeon's Revenge".
