Notes

  • Characters mentioned in the Animated tech specs include: Longarm.
    • Highbrow disappeared after the war and was replaced by Longarm; the AllSpark Almanac II would confirm that Shockwave killed him.
    • Reflector can generate "hard-light" copies of himself, referencing an odd scene in Transformers episode "Divide and Conquer", where his Generation 1 counterpart (specifically Viewfinder) absorbs the other two parts of himself.
  • Characters mentioned in Dirge's profile include: Alpha Trion and Megatron.
  • Characters mentioned in Sky Lynx's profile include: Optimus Prime, Wheelie, Ultra Magnus, Alpha Trion, and Megatron.
    • Before the war, Sky Lynx was the Lieutenant Commander of the Ninth Omega Sentinel Brigade, taking its name from the Dreamwave Generation 1 comic's version of the Guardian robots.
    • Ultra Magnus' coup was mentioned in "Dungeons & Dinobots".
    • Shattered Glass Wheelie is a barbarian! It seems he still rhymes in this continuity, as Sky Lynx has panic attacks triggered by rhyme, poetry, and music.
  • Characters mentioned in Ravage's bio include: Megatron.
    • Ravage is repurposed from Kiss Players Glit.
    • Ravage, unlike his sneaky positive-universe counterpart, is an attention seeker.
  • The BotCon 2009 preview uses various piece of art from the "Wings of Honor" comic (pencils and inks by Guido Guidi, colors by Thomas Deer), along with a screencap of Kup from The Transformers: The Movie.
  • One issue late, the chibi 'con on the table of 'contents is now Heatwave!
  • David Willis wrote the profile for Ravage, but is not listed among the issue's credits. It's less than half a page in length, with rest devoted to showing off Sky Lynx's other modes.
