Notes
- Crasher is a Generation 1 version of the GoBots Renegade character Crasher.
- The live-action movie-verse character Fracture is Crasher according to Hasbro, but the name didn't clear legal. She was originally developed to be in the 2008 Universe series, but she and a few other redecos were shuffled into being Wal-Mart exclusive movie-verse characters. More than a decade later, things came full circle when the final issue of the My Little Pony/Transformers crossover featured Crasher making a one-panel cameo using a body based on Fracture's toy.
