Notes
- The disk found by Hot Rod last issue is here identified as the Covenant of Primus from Beast Wars (where one of its two appearances took place in an episode that Furman himself wrote). Rather than a book, as it appeared there, the covenant is reimagined as a Golden Disk, a famous method of information storage also introduced in Beast Wars, many of which have subsequently appeared in Transformers lore.
Real-world references
- Hot Rod's choice seems to be deliberately paralleling the origin of Marvel Comics superhero Captain Britain, in which young Brian Braddock is offered a choice by divine powers between a sword and another artefact (an amulet in Brian's case, the covenant in Hot Rod's) representing violence and non-violence, respectively. Both Braddock and Hot Rod choose the non-violent option; for Braddock, this marked him as worthy to become a super-hero. Whatever could that mean for Hot Rod?
Errors
- It's barely worth pointing out something like this at this stage in the proceedings, but Sideswipe's head is laughably off-model. Additionally, he's got red thighs and a black midriff, which both ought to be white; his shoulders and biceps are also coloured entirely red when they're normally black and white, respectively, but that's done in accordance with the colors of his Universe character model.
- Wingspan and Pounce (which is which?) appear with different body and helmet designs, which utterly misses the point of their being clones.
