Notes
- Hippotank appeared in several issues before he was finally named, in a article previewing upcoming issues of both Robots in Disguise and More than Meets the Eye[1]. Said article, however, spelt his name incorrectly, as Hipotank. Thankfully Andrew Griffith was onhand to issue a swift rebuttle[2].
