Notes

• Much like Voxpop, Heavywait debuted as an unnamed generic in the original IDW universe, but later received a name and characterization in the rebooted IDW continuity under the pen of author Brian Ruckley. As forged female Transformers did not exist on Cybertron during the pre-war era depicted in Optimus Prime, it is ambiguous as to whether 2005 IDW Heavywait would be male or a rare transgender Cybertronian like Anode or Lug.
