Footnote 2: The lines "Satelliet 18" and "de Oorlog is voorbij" on the cover are printing errors. Semic co-printed the book with a Dutch company, and the Dutch lines were somehow carried over to the Finnish version.

This was the last published Transformers comic book in Finland. In United States the series was meant to end with this issue. The series was continued anyway only to be cancelled after five more issues! I still haven't forgiven the late Semic for not publishing those...
To make the ending look good Semic cut the last page with a cliffhanger to the next issue and replaced it with a "Thank you for the years you´ve spent with us" message.


The Finnish comic book index was compiled by Olli-Oskari Jaakkola.

The last revision was made on Friday, April 11, 2003 .
