Is this, perhaps, the copy you have? The only thing in it besides the 2 comic stories, IIRC, is Hound's word scramble page from the coloring book, "The Search for Treasure Under the Sea". <br /><br />The parallel between Megatron and Xaaron runs deeper than their colors; am I the only one who thinks he was designed to look like essentially a weaker version of Megatron? Not that the parallel means much in context, but even the good Emirate's forehead looks a bit like Megs's crest inverted or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-35392931136716885622009-03-03T17:42:00.000-08:002009-03-03T17:42:00.000-08:00Man I really need to read these...Man I really need to read these...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163141447241149534.post-48904223146732121492009-03-03T14:50:00.000-08:002009-03-03T14:50:00.000-08:00I'd recommend the TFarchive section on the marvel ...I'd recommend the TFarchive section on the marvel comics.
