Notes

• Switchblade—like all of the MCSF—uses the Cybertron-series Clocker toy as a base (with a modified Armada Cyclonus head), though no official Switchblade toy exists (and probably never will). His color scheme is based somewhat loosely on the Beast Wars II Maximal Ikard.
• Names for the Maximal Command Security Force were originally revealed by user icons of the characters in the Transformers Collectors Club forum and profiles from within the fanclub magazine.
