	* None of the Guard City 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".
