Notes

[edit]
  • Like Spectro's chemical cannon, the flash cannon represented a new idea for a character's weapon from the Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye writers when their reference materials evidently did not include the toy's original instructions. Conveniently, it also provided a retroactively usable name for the existing "flashcube/missile launcher" weapon that the original Reflector toy came with, although this has yet to be referenced in any other media.
