Notes

• "Tera-Kura Co." is a pun that doesn't translate well into English. In Japanese, it is pronounced as "Terakurassha", similar to the Japanese name of thePredacon ship inBeast Wars,"Terror Crasher"(テラクラッシャーTera Kurasshā).
• The name is also rendered in Latin letters as "Tera Craco" inBonus Edition Vol. 20and "Tera Crush Company" inVol. 63.
