	: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)\|Transformers]]'' [[Real Gear Robot]]s, Power Up VT6 transforms into a (non-functional~~) hand-held~~ video game system. Although there isn't a single direct real-life equivalent model, his design seems to be an amalgamation of multiple different ~~portable~~ consoles ~~from the mid-2000s~~: the overall design configuration is reminiscent of the first version of the {{w\|Game Boy Advance}}, albeit featuring a ~~somewhat~~ more ~~square-ish~~ look that~~, coupled with the small size of the figure,~~ also bears some semblance to the {{w\|Game ~~Boy Micro~~}}. Unlike Nintendo's Game Boy consoles, Power Up VT6 features four face buttons rather than two, making his controller configuration more similar to devices like the {{w\|PlayStation Portable}}, and the large bordering around the screen also suggests some design cues from the {{w\|Wonderswan\|WonderSwan}}. Like all [[Real Gear Robot]]s toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale.		: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)\|Transformers]]'' [[Real Gear Robot]]s, Power Up VT6 transforms into a non-functional handheld video game system.

	: Interestingly, the ~~colors of the~~ face buttons (blue, green, yellow and red) ~~follow in the tradition of~~ the Japanese and European releases of the {{w\|Super Nintendo Entertainment System\|Super Nintendo}} and the {{w\|Dreamcast\|Sega Dreamcast}}, rather than what would be more common for a portable console within this toy's era.		: Interestingly, the four face buttons follow the color convention (blue, green, yellow, and red) that's been pioneered by the Japanese and European releases of the {{w\|Super Nintendo Entertainment System\|Super Nintendo}} and has since been used in multiple home consoles (to name a few; the {{w\|Dreamcast\|Sega Dreamcast}}, the {{w\|Neo Geo CD\|Neo Geo CD}}, the {{w\|Amiga CD32\|Amiga CD32}}, and most notably; the original {{w\|Xbox (console)\|Xbox}} and its subsequent generations), rather than what would be more common for a portable console within this toy's era.

	: There is a notable variation between the [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy\|Takara]] releases for this toy. In the Hasbro version, his screen shows ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)\|Cybertron]]'' [[Jetfire (Armada)\|Jetfire]] as a video-game character, as the Real Gear Robots were originally designed for release in the ''Cybertron'' line.
