Trivia

  • G.I. Joe Sideswipe is modeled and named after Hasbro employee Andrew Frankel, who also worked on the Transformers toyline... and used the handle "Swiper" while active in TF fandom. Funny how that works out, isn't it?
  • Contrary to fan rumors, the name Kobushi was NOT originally intended for an unreleased Xevoz figure. The unreleased Xevoz figure was named "Scarabushi."
  • Hasbro has occasionally used names from non-Hasbro toylines that were obtained via corporate buyouts and the like for Transformers characters, with the most notable examples being Generation 2 Go-Bots, named after the Tonka GoBots toyline, and Armada Leader-1, named after the leader of the "good guy" Tonka GoBots.
  • Hasbro and Tonka also shared certain GoBots names when they were still in competition. Blaster, Rumble and Warpath were both Transformers and GoBots.
