Quotes

  • TBD

Notes

  • "Enemy Mine" is the title of a 1979 science-fiction novella by Barry B. Longyear. When originally published, the issue was mistakenly given the same sub-title as issue 14, "The Demolished Man"; this mistake was corrected for the trade paperback collection of the story.
  • Wheeljack's "ears" glow even when he's not talking.
  • Cosmos and Scrapper are mentioned, but not seen.
  • The three placard-bearing activists who appear on a monitor screen on page 19 are Transformers fans David "Kalelprime" Wallace, founder of the Moonbase 2 Podcast, and Aimee "Ladywreck" Morgan and Matt "KingGrimlock" Messenger, hosts of the Moonbase's sister show, the comic-book centric Underbase Podcast. In reference to this, Matt's shirt bears an "MB2" logo.
  • Megatron's new body was built using, among other things, Ore-13, which helps to explain its nigh-invulnerability.
  • Ravage is back. Presumably Spike's claim to have "got him" in The Man of Steel was the non-lethal kind.
  • Skywarp is also back, last seen prior to the EMP detonation at the end of the Bumblebee limited series. Presumably, he was either captured by Skywatch and liberated a few issues back, or was simply lying low and rejoined the Decepticons of his own accord.
  • This issue finally deals with the amoral nature of Spike's decision to murder the wounded Scrapper.
  • The Autobots act as if Jazz has done something horrible, despite the fact that Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Hot Rod, the Dynobots, Hardhead and the Monsterbots have all killed humans before

Errors

  • On page 9, panel 2, Tankor is colored as Prowl.
