Notes
- Per an April 1986 draft of the script to The Transformers: The Movie, Lithone was originally to be known as "the planet of marble," and populated by creatures of living rock. Hence, we can safely conclude that its name derives from the Greek word lithos, meaning "rock".
- In reality, the tidal forces of a binary star would
make planetary formation impossible.Fine, they found one. Are you happy now?
