Notes
"Pretty much."
- At Comic-Con 2010, the Eradicons were simply known as "Decepticon Troopers". They were among the first Prime Transformers shown, in a preview of the show: two Eradicons walk under a bridge and one shows its hand to the camera, before Bumblebee arrives to heroically beat up the two guys who aren't doing anything.
