NOTES

Updated version note: Just to avoid messing up with continuity, we removed Cyclonus from panel 1, replacing him with Slugslinger (another Targetmaster, after all!).
What about Long Haul, though? Was he killed during the Underbase battles? We mean not only the final one, but the first clash between Ratbat's and Scorponok's forces as well!
Or maybe Long Haul was wounded at the end of the Moon Battle in G1 Marvel US #40, "Totaled!"?

Inked page.

This one-pager addresses one minor unexplained detail of the new Regeneration One maxiseries by Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman and Guido Guidi.
In that series, Megatron conquers and devastates Earth thanks to a huge army of reactivated Decepticons who fell during the G1 Marvel run. Mostly, those mechs were killed during the Underbase saga. At the end of that Saga it was stated that each faction would have collected their fallen mechs.
Bu then, why the Regen One series reveal that Megatron salvaged those "ex-bots" from the Ark?
(See Regeneration One #83).

This comic also belongs to the Untold Marvels series, a collection of extra adventures set in G1 Marvel US+UK continuity. Don't miss the extra-long "Last Autobot prequel" G1 US 78.5 - The Last Quest.

The New Jersey swapms is where Scorponok will locate is new base, in the following G1 Marvel US issues.
