Notes

• The Beast Wars Transmetals 2 Jawbreaker figure was initially intended to transform into a kangaroo, rather than a hyena. The February 1999 issue of Lee's Toy Magazine mentioned a "kangaroo" with a yet-to-be-determined name, and Walmart's systems never changed that early (and obviously outdated) description, and thus "Kangaroo" appeared in place of the toy's actual name on purchase receipts. Crikey!
• Both Jungaroo and Star Upper are depicted as boxing kangaroos, which is a common stereotype for the animal.
