Notes
- After images of Streetstar were leaked onto the internet, a cooked-up image of Clench as a redeco of Universe Tankor was found and reported by some as being true. Later on, the BotCon site was updated...with artwork of the actual Clench. A bitter lesson for scoop-hounds.
- Speaking of Streetstar, the toy was originally named Streetwise. The day after being officially revealed, the name was changed to Streetstar. Fun Publications' Pete Sinclair assured fans that it was still the same Protectobot.
- In something of a blunder, during the Saturday night Transformers Hall of Fame ceremony, when Dinobot was revealed to be the fifth inductee into the Hall of Fame (as voted by fans), voice actor Scott McNeil was present for the night, but was not asked to get up on stage and speak about Dinobot winning. This was even though presumably both Hasbro and Fan Publications knew before this night that Dinobot had won and that they could have coordinated for Scott to be involved with the ceremonies in some manner.
