Notes
[edit]
- The letter to Blaster was talking about a contemporary Renault Clio car commercial 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). Clio got canonised by The AllSpark Almanac, but it took until Ask Sideways for Patra to get a modern namedrop.
- 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.
