This resulted in a lot of the original details getting lost; namely his face which interpreted the "goggles" on his head as eyes, with the "cheekbone" and visor details being picked out as a mouthplate.
  • HAZMAT's character model is mostly recycled from Junkyard, sharing the same torso, arms, and legs, with a new head. His arms are also shared by Ashtray and Wasteoid Gamma; his legs by Greasestain, and Wasteoid Gamma; and his torso by Greasestain.
  • The Legacy: Evolution character Crashbar was drafted with the contribution from Dan Khanna as a toy of this character at one point in development, but with mixed elements from Override).[1]
