Notes

• Switchblade—like all of the MCSF—uses the Cybertron-series Clocker toy as a base (with a modified Armada Cyclonus head), though no official Switchblade toy exists (and probably never will). His color scheme is based loosely on the Beast Wars II Maximal Ikard. He also has two blades attached to each hand, although unlike most of his fellow MCSF officers, they are original designs not taken from another Transformer toy.
• Names for the Maximal Command Security Force were originally revealed by user icons of the characters in the Transformers Collectors Club forum and profiles from within the fan club magazine.
