Autobots Decepticons Others

Quotes

"Please! I surrender! Don't shoot!"
"That is uncanny! Has anyone ever-?"
"Megatron. Yes, I know! Just don't shoot!"
"Okay, you be Megatron, I'll be Prime. "You who are without mercy, now plead for it?" Wait wait wait. Try again: "You who are without-" Not deep enough. "You who are-" How can anyone's voice be that low? Ah, frag it."

—Nautilator and Whirl, just before Whirl shoots Nautilator in the head.

Notes

  • Magnus was seen returning from his reconnaissance mission in issue #10. Now we know where he went!
  • Judging from the 'bots present, Tailgate's "happy place" would appear to specifically be the "movie night" he attended in issue #8.
  • Trailbreaker has added guns to his legs in emulation of Fortress Maximus, after drunkenly grumbling about them back in issue #6.
  • The Decepticon base on Temptoria has Energon Drillers from Transformers: Prime stationed outside.
  • Blip was previously mentioned by Ultra Magnus as a Decepticon who thought he was a Sparkeater in issue #3. His slobbering monster alternate mode certainly helps sell his delusion, and also explains why Nautilator confuses him with Blot, who's also a filthy beast.
  • While the Terrorcon leader has had his name spelled quite a few ways across various Transformers stories at this point, "Hun-Gar" is a new one. He was "Hun-Grrr" in his only named IDW appearance before now, in Spotlight: Sixshot.
  • In attempting his Optimus Prime impression, as transcribed above, Whirl is, of course, quoting from Prime and Megatron's famous exchange from The Transformers: The Movie.
  • The nature of innermost energon is expanded upon after passing mentions in issues #3, #7 and #8.
  • Dominus Ambus was mentioned by Alpha Trion in Spotlight: Orion Pax.
  • At this point, quite a few characters have mentioned seeking the missing Luna-1, intimating that many searches for it have taken place. We get a little bit of a reason for that with this issue, in that the moon lies at the centre of romanticized legend. We also find out that it's the same thing as the "Seething Moon", something included in a list of things that don't exist by Trailbreaker in issue #3.
  • Rewind's "snuff movies" were introduced in issue #6.

Crew Manifest

  • 21 crew members are seriously injured, but with no fatalities as of yet.
  • 5 deaths, 5 new arrivals (plus 20 or so Faders) since the launch.
