Notes

• Torox is modeled after Generation 1 Headstrong, but with a new name, presumably due to trademark issues. It would seem his name was supposed to be the close-sounding Headlock and that the name Torox, which originated as the Italian name for Generation 1 Tantrum, was to be used for his bull teammate, but their names were mistakenly swapped somewhere along the line. The Platinum Edition re-release of the Generation 1 Predacons would later correctly apply the name Torox to Tantrum.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Tantrum (タントラム Tantoramu)
