Notes
- Don Figueroa said that the Xantium design is based on "Stronghold", a character from his old Macromasters fanfic comic. He also said, though, that if it ever transforms into a robot it will look a lot different.[1]
- On the other hand, IDW Editor Chris Ryall has said that the Xantium isn't a Transformer, though this statement could be interpreted in a few different ways.
