Notes

[edit]
  • The Beast Wars Transmetals 2 Jawbreaker figure was initially intended to transform into a kangaroo, rather than a hyena. The February 1999 issue of Lee's Toy Magazine mentioned a "kangaroo" with a yet-to-be-determined name<ref name="kangaroo1">"New BW for 99 !!!" at alt.toys.transformers, February 1999.</ref>, and Walmart's systems never changed that early (and obviously outdated) description, and thus "Kangaroo" appeared in place of the toy's actual name on purchase receipts.<ref name="kangaroo2">"New TM2 Jawbreaker = Kangaroo?" at alt.toys.transformers, February 1999.</ref> Crikey!
  • Both Jungaroo and Star Upper are depicted as [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}boxing kangaroo|{{#if:||boxing kangaroo}}]]s, which is a common stereotype for the animal.
