Notes
[edit]- It is uncertain whether the Combaticons constitute all of the renegade Decepticons, or if more were left behind in the Detention Center. (Though even if there were more, they likely were destroyed when Starscream demolished Cell 217.)
- The script called for the personality components to be contained in a glowing green box with a label identifying them as criminals. That, in turn, was to be contained in a "metal drawer" within a room "not unlike a bank vault". Oddly, while the art missed the mark on the glowing box (making it look like an ordinary energon cube instead), the "bank vault" direction was taken literally, right down to the keyholes on the drawers.
