Continuity notes
- Bumblebee's new body is, obviously enough, promoting an upcoming Generations toy which at the time of this issue's publication had not yet been formally announced by Hasbro. The body/toy is a redeco and retool of the earlier Generations Bumblebee toy that depicted the character in the body he wore for most of the ongoing series (promoted by Spotlight: Bumblebee), but obviously intended to homage his upgraded "Goldbug" form from the original Generation 1 toyline, cartoon and comic.
- That said, Goldbug was turned into a separate character from Bumblebee in IDW continuity back in Spotlight: Metroplex, so we can probably not be expecting Bumblebee to change his name any time soon. But that works out okay, since the toy is pretty unlikely to actually be called Goldbug; Ironhide mentions that Bumblebee's body is being repaired with "Goldfire shielding", so we're probably looking at "Goldfire Bumblebee". The "Goldfire" prefix is not new, having previously been used by Hasbro on a golden redeco of Animated Grimlock that was never released.
Errors
- Shockwave appears to be missing his gun-arm when he appears on the last page.
