Notes
- The military possesses hand-held tracking devices to detect Decepticons.
- SkidsandMudflapare depicted as already possessing their Chevy forms rather than still being in their ice cream truck form.
- Demolishor's name is rendered as "Demolisher". Sideways goes entirely unnamed, referred only as having a "European sports car" alt mode.
- Sideways puts up much more of a fight in this adaptation, and displays the power to send powerful shock waves tearing through the ground by punching it.
- Although it is stated that Sideways is "[stopped] for good," he appears to merely be incapacitated by Sideswipe, instead of outright killed.
- Alternatively, Demolisher is simply stated to be "captured" rather than executed... But looks decidely like a heap of dead scrap in the book's final illustration.
- Despite presumably taking place in China, all of the civilians running in fear from Demolisher's path of destruction appear to be Caucasian.
