Notes
- Characters mentioned in Hubcap's bio include: Blaster and Cliffjumper.
- Hubcap has replaced Blaster as Autobot City's Senior Communications Officer; Blaster was the head of Autobot City in the third season of The Transformers.
- Hubcap's Cybertonium levels need recharged more than most Transformers, or else it will lead to deleterious effects; these effects were seen in the two-part The Transformers episodes "Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1" and "Part 2".
- Characters mentioned in Nightracer's bio include: the original Nightracer and Jhiaxus.
- Nightracer's profile confirms that she and the other Jhiaxus-aligned Go-Bots are clones; in particular, her source, the original Nightracer, was a Decepticon sharpshooter during the Great War, having been killed at some point. Female Decepticons, in general, are thought to have gone extinct; Shockwave remarked in "The Search for Alpha Trion" that he believed their counterparts, the Female Autobots, had gone extinct as well.
