Trivia
- Raksha had initially wanted the exclusive toy to be a version of Generation 2 Smokescreen, but was told by Hasbro that since that figure is gang-molded with Dreadwing it would not be available individually.
- Hasbro had agreed to do a presentation but according to Jon Hartman they backed out because both Kenner and Hasbro were in the midst of reorganization. Consequently, none of the invited employees was available for the convention.
