He does not have the loose joints and cracking elbow issues that Freezer had.

			:Novakane converts from a [[Frenzy (Movie)\|Frenzy]]-esque four-armed robot into three Cybertronian weapon modes: a handheld blaster for other figures, a free-standing gun emplacement, and a configuration designed to attach to [[Scourge (ROTB)#Studio Series\|''Studio Series'' Scourge]]'s truck bed. These alternate modes were created for the toy as Novakane does not transform in the film. Despite this, the blaster barrel was not made compatible with contemporary [[Fire Blast effect]]s. His hands use 5mm ports instead of 3mm like other Core Class figures.

			:His packaging and insert are decorated with the inside of the museum where he chases the humans. His instructions use Decepticon purple instead of the blue introduced for the Maximals and Terrorcons.

	Promotional pictures from Hasbro led fans into initially thinking this toy was a more significant retool. The angle chosen made fans think this toy had a third "leg," but it was instead one of the 4 arms in a strange action pose.
