	*For some reason, all three of the main Generation 1 [[Insecticon (G1)\|Insecticons]]' [[instructions]] gave their [[weapon]]s interesting and exotic-sounding names (such as [[Kickback (G1)\|Kickback]]'s [[electrothermic blast tube]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)\|Shrapnel]]'s [[gamma ray detonator]]) only for these descriptions to be ignored by pretty much every other source of information about them, including their [[packaging]] [[bio]]s. Bombshell's bio notes that he can fire [[cerebro-shell]]s with his stinger, which may imply a repurposing of his twin ion impulse blaster, but otherwise concentrates on his head-mounted [[Mortar cannon\|mortar]]. His [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel]] ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Universe]]'' [[profile]] perhaps more explicitly repurposes his twin ion impulse blaster as his stinger by describing the weapon's function in both insect and robot modes, before going on to describe his head-mounted mortar separately. [[Dreamwave Productions\|Dreamwave]] went even further in Bombshell's ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\| More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile by ignoring the stinger issue completely and noting that in addition to his head-mounted mortar he also carried a [[laser rifle]].		*For some reason, all three of the main Generation 1 [[Insecticon (G1)\|Insecticons]]' [[instructions]] gave their [[weapon]]s interesting and exotic-sounding names (such as [[Kickback (G1)\|Kickback]]'s [[electrothermic blast tube]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)\|Shrapnel]]'s [[gamma ray detonator]]) only for these descriptions to be ignored by pretty much every other source of information about them, including their [[packaging]] [[bio]]s.

Twin Twist's packaging bio even notes that his twin ion impulse blaster shoots 100lbs TNT shells, which sounds like something a semi-automatic cannon-rifle would do, suggesting that the name was some kind of placeholder that was missed or a late substitution, and the fact that the Jumpstarters' [[package art]] was switched next to their bios certainly implies that quality control was not at its highest during this point of the franchise.		*Conversely, for some reason the Jumpstarters' packaging bios renamed both of their weapons to being twin ion impulse blasters, despite their instructions, and ''Universe'' and ''More than Meets the Eye'' profiles all calling them a [[particle beam rifle]] and a [[Cannon-rifle\|semi-automatic cannon-rifle]] respectively.
