Notes

• In early production, the Dreads were announced to be a pair of modified Chevrolet Suburbans, and were referred to by the fandom as twins. Photos of the two were even taken on-set, but the final film features three of them. In the toyline, only Crankcase transforms into a Chevrolet Suburban, while Crowbar and Hatchet have different vehicle modes.
