Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 Apparently, the decision to market the wave 2 Go-Bot and Cyberjet redecos as separate characters was a last-minute change of plans that was only put into use in America and Japan; in Europe, Hasbro supposedly stuck to the original idea for those assortments (here named "Gobots" and "Mini-Jets", respectively), with the redecos being sold as running change color variants of their wave 1 mold-mates instead, in unchanged packaging featuring package art in the original deco and the original character's name: Megatron and Optimus Prime, slight color variants of Blowout and Firecracker with solid instead of clear plastic parts, were still marketed as "Blowout" and "Firecracker"; "Hooligan" was also available in Jetfire's colors, "Skyjack" in Air Raid's, and "Space Case" in Strafe's. This practice is only confirmed for the versions available in multilingual French/Dutch/German packaging; thus far, no specimens in English/Spanish/Portuguese packaging or in Italian GiG packaging have surfaced. The subsequent, completely redecoed Go-Bots wave was marketed as the same characters as their United States counterparts, however.
