Notes
[edit]- Jack had no characterization or team name until a 2015 entry of the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime, headed by Jim Sorenson.
- In case you were wondering, Galaxy Force Jack's name does not overlap with that of Micron Densetsu Jack, preserving Takara's no-repeat name principle for the Unicron Trilogy. This is because the Micron Densetsu character's name is Jakku (ジャック), based on the human name, while the Galaxy Force character's name is Jakki (ジャッキ), based on the different Japanese rendition of the mechanical tool.
- In February 2026, Greg Sepelak revealed that Speedtrap was proposed as a localized name for a Transformers Collectors' Club website bio which never came to fruition.[2]
