one letter asks the question of, if besides Billy and Zartan, did anyone else escape the freighter trap from issue #98, like Mindbender or Firefly. The answer was given as only 3 escapees total (the third revealed in issue #'s 124-126), but that would later be changed to 4 (issue 139), as the fourth was revealed in that issue during the Joe/Gen. 2 Transformers storyline (#'s 139-142).
