Notes

• The filecard included with Slip-Stream's original toy (released in 1986) contains the phrase "Slip Stream has the touch." This is certainly a coincidence.
• In issue #5 of the G.I. Joe Special Missions series, Slip-Stream gave a Transformer toy to a maintenance man to give to his son. The toy looked like Megatron but he called it Jetfire and said it turned into a swing-wing fighter.[1]
