	* Undermine is one of the few Transformers who canonically have more than two arms in [[robot mode]]. Though his dino mode forelimbs fold up into his chest in robot mode, in the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)\|''Cybertron'' cartoon]], they are shown as being just as animate as they are when he's in [[beast mode]].
	*It's possible that Undermine and [[Wreckloose (Cybertron)\|Wreckloose]] were originally supposed to sport each other's name. An early [[Transformers Collectors' Club\|Collectors' Club]] announcement of the Hasbro ''Cybertron'' names (including the erroneous spellings "[[Thundercracker (Armada)#Cybertron\|Thundercraacker]]" and "[[Clocker (Cybertron)\|Cloker]]" and the misattributed name "[[Overhaul (Cybertron)\|Leo Breaker]]" for [[Evac (Cybertron)\|Live Convoy]]) listed Dino Shout's U.S. name as "Wreckloose",<ref name="cybnames">[http://www.unicron.com/news_item/274/ Unicron.com reporting on Collectors Club ''Cybertron'' name list]</ref> and when the toys were on display at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2005, the info signs identified Undermine as "Wreckloose" and Wreckloose as "Undermine".<ref name="sdcc20051">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/events/San-Diego-Comic-Con-2005/?g2_page=2 ''Cybertron'' toys on display at SDCC 2005] gallery at TFW2005.</ref><ref name="sdcc20052">[http://www.asmzine.com/features/conventions/sdcc05/gallery/sdcc05-hasbro-transformers/index5.html ''Cybertron'' toys on display at SDCC 2005] gallery at ASMzine.</ref> Of course, it's also possible that the names were always intended the way they ended up, and that those examples were just accidental swaps.
