Notes
- The original Ratchet, Minerva and Sireen toys all sport the "red cross on white backdrop" logo that belong to the Red Cross organizations. This logo is trademarked by the organizations, who enforce the use of their marks heavily these days. Modern Transformers toys can no longer sport the logo, as it could be considered an abuse of the symbol's meaning. The red cross symbol was in fact incorrectly used on all of the aforementioned toys to begin with, since the symbol represents humanitarian organizations that normally don't operate regular urban ambulances. During the Dreamwave days, Ratchet was at first drawn with the red cross logo, but subsequent issues gave him a Pacman-ized version of the logo, a color-reversed version (which is the pattern of the Swiss flag), an uncolored version or no logo at all. Currently, Hasbro typically uses "electrocardiogram" graphics as a substitute, which is usually also reflected in fiction. The occasional flub still slips through, though.
