==Trivia==
* ''G.I. Joe'' Sideswipe is modeled and named after [[Hasbro]] employee [[Andrew Frankel]], who also worked on the ''Transformers'' toyline... and used the handle "Swiper" while active in TF [[fandom]].  Funny how that works out, isn't it?

* The ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' name "[[Tarantulas]]" actually came from an unproduced Joe-series "Manimals" toy, [http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/man95-5.shtml Tarantulus].

* Contrary to fan rumors, the name [[Kobushi]] was NOT originally intended for an unreleased ''Xevoz'' figure.  The unreleased Xevoz figure was named "Scarabushi."

* Hasbro has occasionally used names from non-Hasbro toylines that were obtained via corporate buyouts and the like for ''Transformers'' characters, with the most notable examples being ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], named after the [[Tonka GoBots]] toyline, and ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]], named after the leader of the "good guy" Tonka GoBots.

*Hasbro and Tonka also shared certain GoBots names when they were still in competition. Blaster, Rumble and Warpath were both Transformers and GoBots.
