Notes
[edit]- This Caliburn is identical to another Caliburn, also partnered with a Megazarak. However, whereas Universe Caliburn was a Viron cluster Micromaster teamed with a native Megazarak, this Caliburn is an Aurex cluster Mini-Con teamed with a different, dimension-hopping Megazarak. A 2015 entry of the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime clarified that there were independent Generation 1, Robots in Disguise and Unicron Trilogy incarnations of Caliburn.
