Errors

• Its stated that the Autobots' ship is deep under water except that its clearly shown in the side of a mountain.

Items of note

• Primus is stated to be the first Transformer who gave the Matrix of Leadership to Optimus Prime rather than being handed down through the Prime lineage.
• Bumblebee is based on his G1 form except he transforms into a vehicle mode quite similar to that of Movie Bumblebee's, complete with racing stripes.
• Optimus Prime's vehicle mode is his original form only now with a long-nose.
• Prowl and Laserbeak did get Robot Heroes toys made yet these were not released.
• Drift and Ratchet were not stated to get Robot Heroes toys.
• Soundwave is stated to transform into a boombox yet his alternate mode is still his original microcassette recorder form.
• The Autobots three human allies aren't based on any previous human characters although the kid in the pink t-shirt does share Buster Witwicky's taste in clothing.
