For the purpose of wrapping ''Planet Terry'' up as quickly as possible before ''[[The Transformers]]'' relaunches as a full-colour weekly with [[The Transformers issue 27|issue 27]], this version of "The Secret of the Space Warp" is edited substantially to race through most of ''Planet Terry'' issue 3, abridging not only its story of the same name but also the same issue's "Deadly Games" and the first half of "Found". See below...

It's probably more straightforward to break down what actually ''is'' printed in this abridged strip. Note that only the fifth page retains its colour, with the rest in black and white.
*Page 1: The first page of "The Secret of the Space Warp", with the only edit being to change Peter Kremer's "colors" credit to "colours".
*Page 2: The second page of "The Secret of the Space Warp" with no notable edits.
*Page 3: Six panels from the third page of "The Secret of the Space Warp". The seventh panel, of Princess Ugly and the Gorkels waving as Terry's ship taxies before taking off, is replaced by a similar panel of Princess Ugly shedding a single tear at the ship launching, taken from the start of the fourth page of "The Secret of the Space Warp".
*Page 4:
**The first two panels are the second and third panel from the fourth page of "The Secret of the Space Warp"; Terry has newly lettered dialogue here regarding his "special Planet Terry pilotting", replacing a gag about Planetoid 17Z being in uncharted space and thus requiring uncharts.
**The rest of the page is comprised of the third to final panels from the third page of "Found". Terry and Robota receive newly lettered dialogue about Terry's determination to navigate them to 17Z, whereas in the original, Robota was giving him a kiss on the cheek for saving them from being the playthings of the deadly Gamesfolk.
*Page 5: This is the complete fourth page of "Found". The reveal of the Devourer, which had escaped from a trial of the Gamesfolk in "Deadly Games", is repurposed here into a cliffhanger, necessitating the addition of a "[Autobot symbol] NEXT:" box.
