Quotes
Notes
- This double-sized issue was released about 3 weeks late.
- Includes sketches of the Guiding Hand by Guido Guidi.
- This brings Ultra Magnus's lifetime smile count up to three.
Art errors
- First Aid is erroneously colored as Swerve in the first panel on page 11.
- Skids is drawn with no left hand on page 15.
- On the same page, Drift's entire body save for his head is colored entirely gray.
- Cyclonus sports green eyes on pages 20 and 21.
- Swerve appears on page 24 on the Metrotitan's face, despite the fact that he's supposed to be talking to Ore on the Lost Light.
- Tailgate is shown to be in the group that gets teleported to Theophany's surface, and is seen standing with Swerve on the Metrotitan's face. However, he's later shown to be still on the Lost Light with Ultra Magnus when the Metrotitan teleports everyone away.
- Blaster is erroneously colored pink with a purple head on page 31.
- Ratchet's hands are colored red on page 35.
Transformers references
- Nanocons were first mentioned in "Zero Point", where it was left ambiguous whether or not they really existed or were just figments of Roadbuster's imagination.
- Skyfall's death by drinking Gideon's Glue took place in the prose story "Bullets", also written by James Roberts, from the The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers TPB & HC.
Real-world references
- Drift's lengthy list of the virtues of Crystal City's denizens, and inability to give a similar list for his own crew, tailing off with "...and us with our... with our...", leading to his crewmates' put down is very similar to an exchange in the UK sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf VI episode "Legion".
Crew manifest
- Ore briefly returns to life before being teleported away with the Metrotitan.
- Swerve is having trouble locating Red Alert, who said his "last words" in Rules of Disengagement.
- Although Hyperion and Polaris were the only casualties, First Aid confirms that several Autobot sucked out of the ship in How to Say Goodbye and Mean It are off-line and in the medical bay.
