Slight reorg, removing old-wiki "maybe worked on Armada Perceptor" stupidity, and surely he worked on Ravage if he worked on Frumble and Laserbeak...

==Notes==
* It is ''possible'' (but unconfirmed) that Aramaki also designed ''Armada'' [[Perceptor (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.
