Notes

• Socket was originally released in a toy assortment with no bios whatsover. It was not until 2015 that a Facebook entry of Ask Vector Prime, headed by Jim Sorenson, gave Socket a team name and some characterization.
• In February 2026, Greg Sepelak revealed that Snoop was proposed as a localized name for a Transformers Collectors' Club website bio which never came to fruition. This bio identified Sidearm as the sheriff leader of the "Frontier Rescue Team".
