Notes
- The faction insignia tin wall sign is a hot mess. it features an array of insignia from across the brand's history in no particular order... plus an unofficial fan-made insignia for the nonexistent "Warriorbots", which had been added to the "Insignia" page on Fandom (formerly Wikia) in 2014 (since removed, albeit three years later). Evidently the graphics designer who assembled the art for this sign used the Wikia as reference. Other errors on the sign include the insignia of the "Dicepticons", and the use of the Prime Predacon symbol where the Beast Wars Predacon one was presumably intended, to match the use of the Maximal insignia.
- Amusingly, the wooden sign of Optimus Prime above was listed on their website at the time of that image's upload as the "Transformers Megatron Schematic Wood Wall Decor," in spite of the name Optimus Prime being plastered across it.
