Notes

  • Tripledacus's name was romanized in English as "Tripredacus" on at least two Japanese trading cards, casting a shadow of doubt over the English-speaking fandom's interpretation of his name as possessing an "L". Despite that, his English name was officially canonized as "Tripledacus" by IDW's Beast Wars comics.
  • TakaraTomy reissued two of Tripledacus's components, namely Gimlet and Motorarm, as part of their Beast Wars Telemocha Series in 2007, but omitted DJ from the line-up. Therefore, the only way to complete Tripledacus from the Telemocha releases would be by using an original DJ toy.
