Oddly, both he and Cliffjumper list the name as originating from Canada, though Cliffy has another name listed as well.

	The Hood bit is mentioned well enough. What is missing though is someone turning the car window around on his back. It's mistransformed on TFU as well. It's on a swivel and the flat bit should be behind his head. At least he can look backwards that way. --[[User:Argus\|Argus]] ([[User talk:Argus\|talk]]) 09:36, 19 December 2024 (EST)		The Hood bit is mentioned well enough.

			: The US instructions do not call out spinning the window section around at all; there's one panel at the end with it spun around, not called out. (I don't know if I still have the European instructions, and web searches have not been fruitful.) But the following sticker-placement panel on the same sheet shows the windows in car-mode position, as does his UK release art, while the US art is vague on that. The official product photography shows it un-moved. Maybe it was designed to be, but pretty overwhelmingly it's depicted as not moving in robot mode, so like, that's more a curiosity note than an Everyone Has It Wrong. --[[User:M Sipher\|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher\|talk]]) 16:26, 19 December 2024 (EST)
