Notes
- Characters mentioned in Deathsaurus' profile include: Megatron, Falcon, Vanquish, and Lyzack.
- Falcon and Lyzack were shown to be subordinates of Deathsaurus in "Flames of Yesterday".
- Characters mentioned in Metalhawk's profile include: Magnum, Sentinel Major, Onslaught, Gigantron, Powerflash, and Over-Run.
- Prior to joining the Elite Guard, Metalhawk served on the Starduster, named for the G.I. Joe character.
- Metalhawk's "Shining Arrow" attack from the Masterforce anime is mentioned, presented as coming from his Jet Rifle.
- Gigantron is the callsign of Halonix Maximus, as revealed in "A Team Effort", a prose story released a month later. Gigantron was a possible alternative name for Halo behind the scenes, according to writer Jesse Wittenrich, and is included here as a reference to the unused name.
- "Brian's Bytes and Bolts" mentions the upcoming "Transtech Cheetor". That would be Transformers Animated Cheetor.
- The back cover ditches the short-lived Mini-Con profiles in favour of Recordicons, a new comic strip by David Willis featuring Shattered Glass Ravage.
