Notes
[edit]- While Slag's instructions and packaging bio call his weapon an electron blaster, his Marvel Universe profile instead says that he is armed with a laser rifle. His Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile further muddies the waters, claiming that he is armed with an electron gun, like Brawl.
- Blurr's character model describes him having turbo electron blasters mounted in his shoulders.<ref>Transformers: 1986 character binder at the Sunbow/Marvel Archive</ref>
