			*The story behind Pyro's conflicting names turns out to be more complicated than has been assumed for a long time. Like all other European-exclusive releases in 1992 and 1993, Pyro and his fellow Obliterator [[Clench (G1)\|Clench]] were available in two different [[multilingual packaging\|bilingual packaging]] [[variant]]s, English/Spanish and French/Dutch. Those two packaging types often gave the figures different (usually English-language) names, and the Obliterators were no exeption: While they were named "Pyro" and "Clench" on English/Spanish packaging, there were named "Spark" and "Colossus" on French/Dutch packaging. When the two figures were then re-released in new packaging under the ''Generation '' branding in 1994, Hasbro decided to harmonize their names across Europe, and for unknown reasons decided to go with the names from the 1993 French/Dutch packaging versions, which were now also used for trilingual English/Spanish/Portuguese ''Generation 2'' packaging. So technically, this makes the name "Pyro" the odd one out.
