==Trivia==<br />
*Raksha had initially wanted the exclusive toy to be a version of [[Smokescreen (G2)|''Generation 2'' Smokescreen]], but was told by [[Hasbro]] that since that figure is [[Gang-molding|gang-molded]] with [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] it would not be available individually.<br />
*Hasbro had agreed to do a presentation but according to Jon Hartman they backed out because both Kenner and Hasbro were in the midst of reorganization. Consequently, none of the invited employees were available for the convention.<br />
