Notes
[edit]
- Unlike her fellow GT Sisters, Ai has no toy, which is why she wears a Transformers GT-themed outfit instead of one based on a real racing team. As explained by the GT Sister story[1] and shown in the final story page, this "Team TF" costume is usually reserved for when a GT Sister is in Battle Mode, so does this mean Ai is always in Battle Mode?
- Ai's outfit was worn by real-life race queens Mai Nishimura (西村麻依 Nishimura Mai) and Kelal Yamamura (山村ケレール Yamamura Kerēru) during a collaboration between Transformers GT and Team Mach.[2]
- Ai is both named after and derived from the original Ai from the Car Robots franchise, so much so that her earliest drafts are quite literally a race queen-ified version of her outfit.
- Ai gets her own bio in Safety Prime's Town Commander profile, rendering her, like him, a crossover character with the Cybertron Satellite promotion.[3] Whether that makes her a Town Co-Commander or some kind of Town Lieutenant remains unclear.
- Either way, the biology of GT Sisters dictates she is pretty unambiguously the living manifestation of his
TownCircuit Matrix.
