NOTESThe original idea behind the statue in panel 2 was a nod to Dai Atlas.
The temple room in panel 3 is based on the Matrix Flame room seen in
G1 Marvel UK #78.
Seb didn't even need to look for references: he remembered exactly how it looked!
The Last Autobot is not called by this name, here, just as Bludgeon knew him as the Ultimate Warrior.
The "Grail Quest" concept came from Simon Furman himself. In a Transformers Club magazine inteview, he explained that this was his original plan for Cybertron in the Marvel series, had this not been canceled: a planet shrouded in a nuclear winter, Cybertronians forced to wander on it looking for the Last Autobot, new experiences, dwindling resources and so on.
