Errors

• Like in issue 3, Elita-1's alternate mode is drawn like Chromia alternate mode.
• At the end of the issue, Arcee and Chromia are drawn with each other's bodies.
• Despite being killed in issue 2, Depthcharge appears again in this issue.

Notes

• Writer John Barber said that the explanation of why Shockwave doesn't resemble his movie design was going to be given in this issue. which oddly doesn't happen, but Shockwave is indeed badly damaged by Optimus Prime.
• For the third time, Barricade disappears without any explanation of what happened to him.
• Arcee and Chromia are left alive at the end of the issue.
• The fate of multiple robots that arent appearing in the film (or havent been confirmed to appear at least) like Tankor, Fearswoop and few others are unknown
