Notes

• As a Junkion mercenary on the side of the Decepticons, Roadmaster is actuallyDetritus,ane-HOBBY-exclusive redeco ofHound,who has never actually appeared in any Transformers fiction before now.
• The ability of the Junkions to use loose scrap to repair and rebuild their bodies when damaged is a long-standing trait of their race, but Detritus's Master Chaos upgrade has evidently enhanced him so that he can summon junk to him through the power of magnetism.
• Up until now, the Decepticons have had to steal the Autobots' Power Core Drones, but the Road Drones appear to be original Decepticon creations.
