Synopsis

Events in italics occurred exclusively in BotCon 2011's "The Stunti-Con Job" script reading.

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Drag Strip and Toxitron play the role of Autobots in Motor Master's Stunt Convoy, yet have Decepticon symbols.
On page 17, the radar-thingy on Grandus's shoulder is colored as part of Pipes's hand.
Also on page 17, Hubcap's open mouth is colored light gray like the rest of his faceplate.
On page 18, the black borders under Alpha Trion's eyes are colored like the rest of his face.

This story takes place shortly after the events of "Endgame, Part II".
While Marty Isenberg is credited with the final script, Derrick J. Wyatt and Matt Youngberg collaborated with him on the main story direction and how to work it in with their (yet unrealized) plans for season 4.
Upon entering the arena, Cheetor has two chainsaw-weapons, though his toy only has one. Good luck replicating that scene!
The Animated versions of Wheelie and Mirage, previously seen only in The AllSpark Almanac II, make their first fictional appearances here.

The comic's cover is based on the movie poster for the classic 1969 British caper film The Italian Job.

The cover has a promotional blurb from Rook on it as part of the "movie poster" theme.
On page 3, the perp-bots on Sideswipe's monitor are Beachcomber, Scrounge, Jackpot, Rattletrap and Mudflap.
Sideswipe's drink mug has Kremzeek on it.
When Rattletrap desperately proposes working together with his captors, Cheetor snarks "In another lifetime, maybe."
The "jumobtron" screen on page 6 shows the box art for the BotCon 2011 convention toy set.
Sentinel Magnus's new duds include a pair of big shoudlerpads and cape that are eerily similar to the kind worn by Generation 1 Starscream in The Transformers: The Movie.
When Cheetor starts shooting at Toxitron in Ironfist's lab, Sideswipe prepares "to be blown clear to Nebulos".
