Notes
- The term "Prime Leader" seems to derive from a glossary entry in Beast Wars Universe,[1] which misunderstands Optimus Primal's line in "Dark Designs" about Rhinox potentially making "one prime leader"[2] as using a proper term referring to Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, and Primal Prime. (Beast Wars Universe focuses on the original English version of Beast Wars, so this line is not present in the Japanese dub.)
