	* Rescue Force 2's packaging gives him no name, or even an individual identifier of ''any'' sort. Like the concurrently released non-combining versions of the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]], each member of the Rescue Force used the same cardback design, featuring all four members' art up front and [[instructions]] for all four members on the back. While this is thrifty, it's also ''crowded'', leaving no room whatsoever for anything else. His rather unimaginative name ~~and~~ muddled [[bio]] information come from a sticker book distributed in Europe by [[Kent]] in 1993.		* Rescue Force 2's packaging gives him no name, or even an individual identifier of ''any'' sort.

	* The original Breastforce molds used to make the Rescue Force are (largely) self-contained [[combiner]]s, able to form a super robot. Rescue Force 2 can still become the hips to a super robot using any combination of the molds. The toy packaging does not make any mention of this, largely because the Rescue Force team lacks both the two arm-robots and the only separate piece of combiner [[kibble]], the super robot helmet.		* The original Breastforce molds used to make the Rescue Force are (largely) self-contained [[combiner]]s, able to form a super robot.

	* The 1992 European [[catalog]] that includes the Rescue Force (as well as the [[Turbomaster]]s, [[Predator (subgroup)\|Predators]] and the non-combining [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]]) refers to his vehicle form as an "armoured water cannon". Meanwhile, the ''German'' 1992 catalog call it a "fire truck" (''Löschfahrzeug'', literally "extinguishing vehicle").<ref name="german">[http://imgur.com/a/W9BMP Scans of the German 1992 Transformers catalog]</ref>		* The 1992 European [[catalog]] that includes the Rescue Force (as well as the [[Turbomaster]]s, [[Predator (subgroup)\|Predators]] and the non-combining [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]]) refers to his vehicle form as an "armoured water cannon".
