Primals in Japan
So who wants to break down who all of these are/where they came from?

We cover most of them, but it looks like some of the info might be in conflict with what we have? --Monzo 00:59, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

One More bit of Bat-Toy Trivia
I dropped a bit into the notes-section about how the Bat-Toy is the original inspiration of the "Prime Jets" in the cartoon, with the original concept being that Primal and Meggs would quad-change between both sets of robot and beast forms. I KNOW this was mentioned by Bob (possibly Larry, but I recall it being Bob) at one of the early BotCons, I think '98, but I can't recall with enough accuracy to reference a specific year. Anyone else remember this tidbit? --Destrongerlupus 15:33, 1 May 2013 (EDT)
