Notes
- Depth Charge's Starhopper was numbered 04.
- The presence of Arabic numerals on Depth Charge's starhopper, if taken as canonical rather than a production oversight, implies a of connection between that ship (or its place of origin) and human cultures.
- Depth Charge's own vehicle mode bears a resemblance to a starhopper, with vertically-oriented triangular "wings" held out from the hull on thin shafts.
- Cheetor was familiar enough with Starhoppers that he was able to identify one at great distance.
