Notes

• "Cydraulics" is a real, albeit obscure term used for certain high-performance metal presses and braking systems where the pressures involved cause heat to build-up at a rate faster than it would normally disperse.
• Cydraulics have appeared in IDW Publishing's Generation 1 comics and the live-action film series.^(Jul-03-09)
