Notes

• The etymology of Ginou's name isn't fully clear, but it may mean "silver king" (銀王) or "silver yellow" (銀黄), a reference to Silverliner, Machliner's variant deco in Diaclone.
• That Shouki is redecoed into a Doctor Yellow train is due to the Masterpiece G Series Trainbots adhering as closely to real-world trains as possible. As the deco for "Yellowliner" does not exist on the model of train used for Yukikaze (Doctor Yellow trains of the 200 series type use a green stripe), nor does a metallic-plated version of the 0 series exist, it was decided to redeco Shouki instead, as his train model (the 0 series) utilizes this color scheme in real life.
