Notes
[edit]- While not explicitly noted in "Madman's Paradise", the wood-bots seem to be meant as a parallel to the other Quintessons' robotic servants (of which Transformers were originally created to be) as a hint to the true identity of the Red Wizard.
- Some shots during the Red Wizard's flashback in "Madman's Paradise" erroneously use a different model sheet for the wood-bots, replacing them with alien monsters.
- The wood-bots are not named in "Madman's Paradise" proper—the term comes from the King Grimlock comic miniseries released 35 years after said episode aired.
