Notes
- On Valentine's Day 2012 various Transformers related websites were emailed a valentine promoting the upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. Featuring Grimlock, the image can be seen at the top of this page.
- The Transformers Valentine's Day Special was released to coincide with Valentine's Day, featuring two stories focused on romance. However, the holiday itself isn't celebrated in the stories, as they take place on a Cybertron that has not had contact with Earth.
- When asked what the BotBots thought of Valentines Day showrunner Chris Wyatt said their reaction would vary. Burgertron would love it, Dimlit would make extensive plans for the perfect date with Jacqueline, and Spud Muffin would hate it due to Burgertron and Ulf acting so cute together. [2][3]
