Notes
[edit]- A screencap of Nightbird from the cartoon was used to represent the original Nightracer in "A Flash Forward" since her head was a close fit and the art style matched the images of Soundwave and Frenzy next to her. According to Pete Sinclair and Jesse Wittenrich, the image wasn't supposed to be recognizable as Nightbird once it was obscured by Sky-Byte, but either Sky-Byte didn't cover her up in a way that would obscure her enough, or maybe we're just that good. She's not intended to be the same character as Nightbird.
- While what the original Nightracer's body looked like is a mystery, it's probable that she didn't look like any of Nightracer's toys, considering none of the other Go-Bot clones look like their original bodies, either.
