	*~~While~~ Nightbeat's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile replaced his traditional [[photon pistol]]s with laser blasters, Crankcase's ~~''More than Meets the Eye''~~ profile replaced his ~~traditional~~ laser blasters with [[laser cannon]]s.		*Nightbeat's ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile replaced his traditional [[photon pistol]]s with laser blasters, while Crankcase's profile replaced his laser blasters with [[laser cannon]]s, and Thunderwing's profile replaced his heat-seeking laser blasters with cyclone cannons.
