Notes
- Willis is disturbingly obsessed with Hot Shot, to the point of not only having what amounts to a Hot Shot shrine in his home, but carrying a picture of the Armada Hot Shot toy in his wallet.[1] Be afraid.
- As both a joke and to make a point about the dominance of early G1 characters, Willis started a campaign for Dinobot to win the 2010 Transformers Hall of Fame vote. Dinobot actually won, much to everyone's shock.
- According to Hasbro copy writer Forest Lee, Straxus was mentioned in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime's bio entirely to make Willis happy.
- If you're ever at a Transformers convention and want to be able to quickly identify Willis, look for the tackiest Hawaiian shirt you can possibly find.
