Notes

Hauler's alternate mode is described as a "binary loadlifter", a class of droid C-3PO claimed to have worked with in Star Wars: A New Hope.

"Long Haul" is incorrectly parsed as "Longhaul" in Hauler's profile. Devastator's profile on the facing page gets it right.
On page 9, Axer's second toy is noted as being from the "Robots in Disquise" toyline.
