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