Notes
[edit]- The Universe Inferno toy was originally supposed to be Generation 1 Red Alert. When the naming issue was brought up on Transformers brand designer Aaron Archer's Orson's World forum, he said that the "Inferno" name was a mistake that somehow passed and that it was too late to do anything about it. In an attempt to deal with the confusion, the biography 3H created for this toy to be used on Hasbro's Transformers website stated that this was an alternate universe version of Beast Wars Inferno, though the biography was never published. Years later, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would canonize the biography and further retcon that the 2003 Universe Inferno toy represented a deceased 2001 Robots in Disguise Red Alert whose body was possessed by an Armada Beast Wars Inferno.
