Notes

• In the real world, theSoviet Unioncollapsed in1991,breaking up intoits constituent republics.This event was foreseeable to economists when theGeneration 1animated serieswas being produced in the mid-1980s,but not to cartoon writers.Thus the third season of the cartoon, set in the then-future year of 2006, depicted the Soviet Union as still extant. Oh well.
• Escalation#3refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway Soviet state", which is corroborated byissue #4.In addition, the opposing army is repeatedly identified as "Soviets". While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting ofEscalation,issues #5and#6replace "Soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "Soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
• When asked what terrible things happened to Earth in theBeast Wars: Uprisingcontinuity,Jim Sorensonstated that when theGreat Warspread to Earth in the 1980s, the USSR usednuclear weaponsto drive the Transformers out of Borovia.^[1]
