Notes

Profile art for Liftor, Ichibi, Mugen and Snowblind is included alongside Sepelak's article about the Unicron trilogy. Perhaps some actual photos of toys from the series would have been more suitable, as opposed to cropped illustrations of obscure Mini-Cons.
What appears to be an editor's note made it into the middle of Blot's bio in parenthetical form. Whoops! (A reference to a human psychiatrist that Blot can never have met is inappropriate for a Tech Specs entry. Luckily, this is a MTMTE profile!)
