- Due to a combination of factors (one of them being Gold Plastic Syndrome), the Jet Corps's missile launchers are quite delicate. Never load one of their launchers while one of them is holding it, as there's a distinct risk that post will just snap right off.
- Each Jet Corps member was only available in a "vs." two-pack with one of the Autobot Road Corps members, themselves identical to the Predators' rival team the Turbomasters.
