- "We've been promising more and more cool stuff in the magazine over the past few months, and you'll see from this issue that we've made some really exciting changes and new additions to the magazine. ... the magazine has had a bit of a face lift and we've added more cool stats and facts about your favourite bots to satisfy your metal-hungry minds."
- — Opening message from Darryl, Mistress of Mayhem

Trivia[]
- Unlike the last issue of the original run of the magazine, this issue did have a preview of the next issue at the end, as it was not known at the time of publishing that the magazine would be cancelled before that issue was released.
- This issue was released before the second heat of the All-Stars and the Annihilator, which it covered, were aired on BBC2.
