• Concept designer Ken Christiansen was requested by Hasbro to change the rear stabilizer of the Sniper's vehicle mode. His speculation is that Hasbro requested this to make the character model more similar to the Blazemaster toy, for a potential Protectobot Sniper retooling.
• The Protectobot Sniper and Scout use the same voicelines.
• According to unlockable concept art in the Revenge of the Fallen game, Protectobot Sniper was based on Generation 1 Blades.
• The Protectobot Sniper would've had a sniper rifle, but was scrapped from the final game. This shows up in concept art and promo artwork. In the final game, he shoots from his arms.
• In concept art, a "0121-B" decal is on the helicopter tail, but doesn't show up in the final game. According to Ken, this is a "special" for his girl.
