Notes
- Leyland was presumably named after the British motor company that manufactured trucks and buses as well as the Land-Rover and other military jeep-style vehicles.
- None of the Battle Gaia components were given individual bios. This was actually very common by this point in the Takara Transformers line, which was loaded up with multi-packs (mainly of Micromasters) where the singular on-package bio would cover the entire team, and there was very little fiction to even attempt to highlight anyone beyond "hey cool robot that fights good".
