Notes

[edit]
  • The Dimensional Patrol takes its name from the first Car Robots toy catalog, which described Fire Convoy (the Car Robots counterpart of Optimus Prime) and his crew as part of a "Dimensional Patrol" that followed Gigatron's crew through a dimensional rift. Years later, Takara's Generation 1 cartoon timeline and the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would clarify the Dimensional Patrol as hailing from the Maximal-dominated future era of the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity. The North American iteration of the Dimensional Patrol, however, is a modern-day post-series organization, introduced in Optimus Prime's Universe profile.
