			: Unfortunately, as with other [[Eletrix]] toys (as well as the [[Bat-Robô\|Bat-Robôs]]), Porsche's stickers use poor-quality glue that unfortunately tends to liquefy over time, often resulting in what appears to be a "wet" look. This liquefaction doesn't seem to be as aggressive in the Eletrix toys compared to the Bat-Robôs and you can still find plenty of them in the secondary market in more or less good shape (in contrast with the Bat-Robôs whose stickers seem to almost always look consistently ravaged), but alas, it is still an unfortunately omnipresent characteristic of this line-up regardless.

	* The Eletrix were [[Pre-Transformer\|originally released]] in Japan by [[Yonezawa Toys]] under the name ''Remote Change Robo Series''. They were also released in the US by Village Toys as ''Convert-A-Bots'' "Pow-R-Bots". Porsche is ''mostly'' identical to these other lines' releases of the toy: the stickers on the remote control are different (but similar) for each company. His on-body stickers are unchanged, the only one of the three not to have those changed for the Estrela release.		* The Eletrix were [[Pre-Transformer\|originally released]] in Japan by [[Yonezawa Toys]] under the name ''Remote Change Robo Series''.
