Notes
- It is possible (but unconfirmed) that Aramaki also designed Armada Perceptor, as Aaron Archer has stated he named the Mini-Con combiner in honor of the fact the man who designed him had also designed the original Perceptor. It's more likely that Archer was referring to Hideaki Yoke, but, again, there's no confirmation either way.
