	*Spike Witwicky is named after a person in real life!

	*While being a patchwork like the [[Autobot X (G1)\|original cartoon Autobot X]], it is clear that the details on the comic version of Autobot Spike are mostly by the use of paint, complete with the use of the [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O\|Bluestreak]] helmet with only one crest painted red (though the crests are bigger than normal) and a green-grey wing-door piece. He also utilizes the [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O\|Shockwave]] gun hand to simulate the original's own. The BotCon 2015 Kreon faithfully replicated this design, except the right door wing, which remains white instead of being painted green.		* Spike Witwicky is named after a person in real life!
