*The state of Patra's existence remains mildly sketchy.

Pre-''Almanac'', whether this was a 'real' Transformer was questionable: while the Marvel UK's [[letters page (Marvel UK)|letters pages]] were written 'by' Transformers and telling the 'real story', by this point they were often jokesters (or inaccurate). Since Clio's now canonised, we can assume Patra is too!
**Subsequently, Clio's existence has been confirmed by the ''Allspark Almanac'', which namedropped her on the cover of ''Venus'', a trans-dimensional magazine for female Decepticons. While this does not confirm the existence of Patra ''outright'' (because she is not mentioned), we can charitably assume that the existence of Clio confirms the existence of Patra.

Notes

Still a better representation of Nebulan women than Kari.
  • The letter to Blaster was talking about a contemporary Renault Clio car that had the vehicle transform into a robot. Pre-Almanac, whether this was a 'real' Transformer was questionable: while the Marvel UK's letters pages were written 'by' Transformers and telling the 'real story', by this point they were often jokesters (or inaccurate). Since Clio's now canonised, we can assume Patra is too!
  • A driver is barely visible in the Renault Clio commercial that Clio originates from. We may as well go crazy and assume that's Patra.
  • "Clio-Patra", get it? And the snake thing? Oh, you clever Britons.
