| ==Notes==
| |
| *Many of the gags in the manga derive from word puns that Japan is famous for. For example, ''Armada'' Megatron and Demolishor are "tanks" - 戦車 (せんしゃ ''sensha''), but the pun on ''sensha'' is that it can also be written as 洗車 for "car wash". Result? Them going through the car wash. <small>This makes translators flail and spazz in agony on trying to figure out how to keep the puns as intact as possible.</small>
| |
|
| |
| *Takarayama's name is written as タカラ山, which can also pun on "treasure mountain" or "mountain of treasure" (宝山). And he turns out to be Generation 1 Megatron's homeroom teacher.
| |
|
| |
| *''Armada'' Optimus and ''Energon'' Optimus are considered separate characters here, although mostly for comedic effect.
