Notes

Or just a killed machine?

• From what little can be seen of Betabear, his appearance is a match with the guy standing with Clench, Crasher, and Skyquake five pages earlier in the issue. However, a gladiator of that same appearance also was present on the other side of the circle formation just a panel before Betabear's death, which makes it unlikely he is Betabear as well. Furthermore, what roughly looks like the same model shows up three more times in the background throughout the comic after Betabear's death, so it's unclear whether Betabear is the guy as seen on the right or not.
