Notes
- As it turns out, Jackpot shares a body type with Jazz, giving us our first glimpse at what the body type looked like before Jazz adopted an Earth mode.[2]
- Speaking of which, his body type's robot mode is designed to look as though it transforms into his G1 counterpart's cybertronian alt mode. This is not the only Animated character to do this.
- Jackpot's toy was part of the initial proposals for BotCon 2011. It didn't happen then, but fortunately it was realized as part of TFSS.[3]
