[edit]Notes
[edit]- Tang stated at BotCon 2000 that, if he had been aware of Apelinq and Shokaract in advance, he would have tried to get them into the Transmetals games as alternate color schemes or secret characters (as had been done with BotCon 1999's Windrazor).
- He had optimistically hoped the success of the Transmetals games would allow for the creation of a Generation 1-based video game from BAM! Entertainment as a follow-up. He was shocked to subsequently learn that the Nintendo 64 version was a Blockbuster exclusive, which he felt would severely undercut its sales and scuttle those plans. As BAM! did not produce a G1 game, he may have been correct.
