Notes
- Voxpop originally appeared in Robots in Disguise as one of many unnamed recurring NAILs who populated crowd scenes during the earliest issues of the comic. He, or they, or whatever, later reappeared in the 2019 IDW continuity, where after first making a cameo in Transformers #20, Voxpop finally received a name and speaking role in Transformers #22. Pop.
- Artist Andrew Griffith envisioned Voxpop as a pair of conjoined twins with a hovercar alt-mode arranged with double cockpits vaguely similar to the Cobra Mamba from G.I. Joe.[1] Pop.
- Voxpop's name derives from the term "vox populi", Latin for "voice of the people". In journalism, "vox pop" can refer to "man on the street"-style interviews, which is what Andromeda's using him for in Transformers #22. Pop.
