	* It is possible these toys were designed by Hasbro without help from [[TakaraTomy\|Takara]], explaining their oddly simplistic robot mode looks, very basic vehicle detail, and lack of [[light-piping]], all of which is inconsistent with the majority of the figures originating from the ''Generation 2'' line.

	*The Australia and New Zealand releases were available in English-only packaging (complete with [[Hasbro]]'s Rhode Island address and lacking the actual ''Generation 2'' moniker as all 1995 US releases did, with the assortment named "Power Masters", as two words) that ''would'' presumably have also been used for the United States, had the ''Generation 2'' line not been canceled.
