Notes

Characters mentioned in the Micro-Sized profiles include: the Mini-Con Council of Sages, Rapid Run, and Omega Supreme.
- Rapid Run's Mini-Con partners gained their head modes from data on Omega Supreme's Headmaster stolen by Nightscream.
- Mini-Cons are noted to have trouble combining into configurations that aren't non-sentient weapons.
- Nightcruz and Nightscream's combined form, unnamed in the instructions and on the packaging for Rapid Run, is given the name Nightcreeper here, after the Cobra-aligned syndicate of ninjas from G.I. Joe.
Characters mentioned in the Max-Cops section: Skram.
- Getout specifically chose to pattern his color scheme off of the Generation 2 Autobot Axelerator Skram, much to his fellow Max-Cops' confusion.
Characters mentioned in Astrotrain's profile include: Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Blitzwing, Grimlock, and Devastator.
- Events referred to include Starscream's Underbase fueled rampage in Marvel's The Transformers issue #50 and Astrotrain's arrival on Earth in issue #29.
Characters mentioned in Skywarp's profile include Ramjet, Starscream, Shockwave, and Megatron.
