    Notes

    [edit]
    • Missing Link's ID number schema plays into the theme: the numbering system of the original Japanese toyline restarted in its second year beginning with "C-50" (Cybertron #50) for Autobots and "D-50" (Destron #50) for Decepticons. This leaves C-01 to C-49 and D-01 to D-49 "missing," thus Missing Link starting with C-01.
