he in fact did Wreckage's head sketch in the airport five minutes before his plane had to take off from Japan (as he was visiting <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Takara" class="mw-redirect" title="Takara">Takara's</a> offices at the time).

had not arrived, forcing Kubalsky to make up his own transformation scheme and robot design (which intentionally borrowed some elements from Generation 1 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hoist_%28G1%29" title="Hoist (G1)">Hoist</a>). By the time reference arrived, it was too late in the process to make any major changes, but Kubalsky was able to graft elements from the game model's chest and arms onto the newly-created design (which he felt worked out rather well).

  • High Score 100/Twitcher F451's robot mode design was intentionally modeled on a gorilla.
  • When creating Stockade, he imagined the character as being the

"big brother" to the High Score/Twitcher mold, hence the roughly similar proportions and head design between the two.

  • He designed Universe Swerve's robot mode and transformation entirely under a four-week deadline.
  • Alex's favorite Transformers character and the first one he ever owned is Hound. When designing Hound's new Universe toy, he wanted to make sure the toy was "done right" while still "being true to G1", and even handled the deco guide for the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Henkei" class="mw-redirect" title="Henkei">Henkei</a> release.
