Is that alternate ending available anyplace?
It showed up in a Collected Comics book that contained the first four issues, but that was 20 years ago and in a not-widely-sold format. A scan is online somewhere, gotta be. --ItsWalky 16:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

- Awesome. Thanks!
About that... has anyone ever speculated what that whole bit with the Dinobots (alluded to in issue #3, and specifically mentioned in issue #4) would have been like if there were no ongoing series? Were these elements always to be included? What would have come of them?--G.B. Blackrock 18:18, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
-I imagine that what would have happened with the Dinobots and Shockwave is... uh... Nothing. Being as the series would have been over. -hx 18:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
You miss the point. Why was it included? Continuing a series beyond the limited series was rather uncommon. Were they already thinking that the series would continue by the time issue #3 came out? Or might the comment Ratchet made in that issue have been originally intended to be something else? Is there an "alternate" set of pages to issue 4 (where our current version has the first details about the Dinobots) out there? Although we've not yet seen direct evidence of such, it seems that this is a likely possibility.--G.B. Blackrock 21:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
There is indeed an alternate part to US issue 4. To the end, at least. In at least one Australian and one UK printing I can think of, the story ends with the Autobots up and about with Optimus giving a speech. The Shockwave bit? Simply not there. --Ratbat 15:48, 17 March 2006 (AEDST)
