Notes

Left:the model with a face found in theGenerationsguidebook.
Right:the model published in theThe Arkseries books.

• HAZMAT was never named in any fiction; his name (and the names of many other Junkions) comes from character designer's notes, revealed inTransformers: The Complete Ark.
• Due to the rarity of theToeiJunkioncharacter models,which have only surfaced in theGenerationsguidebooks as tiny, blurry andveryrough line art, the model that was used forThe Arkwas traced/redrawn byBill Forsterto make it more presentable for the final publication. This resulted in a lot of the original details getting lost; namely his face which interpreted the "goggles" on his head as eyes, with the "cheekbone" and visor details being picked out as amouthplate.
• HAZMAT's character model is mostly recycled fromJunkyard,sharing the same torso, arms, and legs, with a new head. His arms are also shared byAshtrayandWasteoid Gamma;his legs byGreasestain,and Wasteoid Gamma; and his torso by Greasestain.
• TheLegacy: EvolutioncharacterCrashbarwas drafted as a toy of this character at one point in development, withDan Khannacontributing a concept drawing of HAZMAT.
