Notes
- This Autobot character is based on the Gats Blocker[1] (ガッツブロッカー) toy from the Diaclone line that was never brought over into The Transformers toyline. It was, however, released outside of Japan by Takara itself in the Diakron line as Multi-Force 14 Robot.[2] The toy itself is black and red, whereas the comic colouration of the Transformer makes him look like Generation 2 Superion.
- Guts Blocker Autobot's size and era of existence in the comics doesn't make it likely he's a 14-piece combiner. Bugger!
