Trivia/Notes

 * The lineart for Blackarachnia's profile pictures show her in her Transmetal 2 form, but the images are colored gold and black, like her original body. BB, meanwhile, is just colored entirely gold for no apparent reason. And dude, why the hell is Dinobot purple, green, brown and yellow?


 * Cybershark's profile features a picture of his Transmetal 2 robot form but his original organic beast form.
