	* The Sandstorm depicted in the July 1992 issue of ''TV Magazine'' (as seen above) has some color differences compared to the final version; the main color of the retail toy is more cream or off-white than sandy tan, while the optic band color veers closer to yellow than orange.		* The Sandstorm depicted in the July 1992 issue of ''TV Magazine'' (as seen above) has some color differences compared to the final version; the main color of the retail toy is more cream or off-white than sandy tan, while the optic band color veers closer to yellow than orange.
	* None of the Battle Gaia components were given individual bios. This was actually very common by this point in the Takara ''Transformers'' line, which was loaded up with multi-packs (mainly of [[Micromaster]]s) where the singular on-package bio would cover the entire team, and there was very little fiction to even attempt to highlight ''anyone'' beyond "hey cool robot that fights good".
