- Daytonus' name is derived from the 24 Hours of Daytona race held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida, which features Le Mans-style race cars of similar type to Daytonus.
- Daytonus was the first official release of a mold originally intended to be released as part of the Generation 2 Go-Bots sub-line. Presently, the original identity of the mold is unknown, assuming Hasbro got that far along in ideas, but in 2016, the unused original deco became the basis of the character Crash Test.
- Though the toy shares its origins with and is packed like the Hasbro releases of the Spychangers, he was not labeled as a member of that team until a 2015 Ask Vector Prime entry declared him to be one.
