Notes

• Wade's name was assigned as the "real name" of the G.I. Joe character Checkpoint.
• Shortly before BotCon 2007, Jared injured his leg in a company softball game. Though he was out of commission for most of the weekend, he showed up for at least one of the Hasbro Design panels in a wheelchair, with his leg in a cast. Now that's dedication!
• According to Triple Changer: From Toy To Comic To Screen, a Shout! Factory Transformers Season 1 DVD featurette, Jared's favorite Transformer from the original series is Shockwave, both due to his appearances in the cartoon and the fact his brother had him—though his brother usually got mad at him for trying to play with it!
