	*It's not entirely clear if it was actually Nasta's intention to market the two toys as an actual ''character'' named "Freedom Fighter". In the case of the equally odd "[[Enemy (G1)\|Enemy]]" (also released by Nasta), there were at least both a distinct pre-existing character design (the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|Generation 1]]'' [[Frenzy (G1)#The Transformers\|Frenzy]]/[[Rumble (G1)#The Transformers\|Rumble]] design) and a pre-existing color scheme (the unused alternate ''[[Micro Change]]'' color scheme for the Frenzy/Rumble figure) that would eventually inspire [[TakaraTomy]] to [[canonizing\|canonize]] "Enemy" as an actual character in 2012, whereas the "Freedom Fighter" toys were just… an oddly-shaped AM radio that resembled [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]]'s head, and a pair of headphones, with no real robot mode. Add to that the fact that another Nasta toy, the "[[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Wireless Microphone\|Wireless Microphone]]", was given the even weirder character name "Microphone" (with the faction designation being "Decepticon—Enemy"), despite clearly being designed to represent [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s [[alternate mode]], while Nasta's other toys were given no character names ''at all'', even though two of them were clearly designed to represent [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]]… and you can't help but wonder if Nasta put any thought into the names and designations they were putting onto their toys' packaging.		*It's not entirely clear if it was actually Nasta's intention to market the two toys as an actual ''character'' named "Freedom Fighter".

	Freedom Fighter possesses the ability to intercept electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from roughly 530 kHz to 1710 kHz, and can emit sounds—at varying intensity—which represent any ~~[[wikipedia:amplitude modulation~~\|amplitude modulation]] found in the intercepted radiation. Electromagnetic waves of this sort are sometimes used for communication by many species, making Freedom Fighter a valuable resource for the Autobot army.
