Well, you might wanna get this version anyway since the toy pack-in versions of the issues are censored.

I'm curious, how are they censored? I did not know they were different.

For Trailcutter's comic, all references to his being renamed from "Trailbreaker" to "Trailcutter" were removed, some dialogue bubbles were rearranged or taken out, any references to guns or killing were replaced with things like "blasters" or "destroyed", any references to alcohol consumption (even the made up stuff) were excised (minus one scene of obviously drunken Autobots), Trailcutter being an alcoholic was gone, etc.
