Notes

• Before assuming the form of a garbage truck, Garagebot resembled Long Haul, stripped of all identifiable vehicle parts.
• Despite a prominent scanning scene and the presence of an identical truck at the site of Sam and Starscream's battle, Garagebot never appears again after the Washington D.C. attack.
• Garagebot's identity was unknown until Attinger's playing card of the character was revealed in a prop auction for the Transformers film series held in 2019. And yes, whoever made the prop card almost certainly meant "Garbagebot", but that's not what got written.
• Because the playing card features an image of Long Haul's earth mode model, it is possible that the Long Haul-type Decepticon that is seen in the final battle of Dark of the Moon is Garagebot. However, Garagebot's card does not have any red markings, indicating that the dead Long Haul lookalike is an unrelated character.
