Trivia

  • While Wedge Shape's toy is branded with a Maximal logo, his instructions claim him to be a Predacon. With a complete lack of other information on the character, it is impossible to know exactly what the hell the deal is and who he really works for. Take your pick, or have him be both.
  • Wedge shape's instructions (as well as those of his contemporary exclusives Dragon-Air, Noise Effect and Torque Gain) uses the "classic" Japanese Transformers logo, ostensibly placing him within the Generation 1 continuity family. However, as noted above, he's got Beast Era faction sigils applied to him. It would appear then that he is from a "transitional" period from Generation 1 to the Beast Era... though chances are TakaraTomy didn't put even that much thought into it. Toys is toys.
