His name does not appear in any of the final product material; it only appeared in an early Photoshopped promotional image on the e-Hobby website.

- Bad Boy's coloration is similar to an early version of the toy that only appeared in an early Japanese Transformers catalogue image (right); all five 1985 Mini-Vehicles in this image had color differences from the final versions.
