Comics Notes
- This is the last comic before the series changes to an alternate reality where the Decepticons won in Mission City
- This is the first Titan comic to have exclusive artwork made up for it's front cover, which will continue until the end of Volume One.
- This story is also retconned away as soon as ROTF comes out, since it shows that Scorponok was killed by Jetfire there instead of here.
- Why they didn't just have Lennox and Epps lead a team here I'll never know!
- Scorponok can apparently control other Transformers by hacking into their brains
