Notes
- ↑ We don't have these on TFWiki just yet, but the Lumobots are small, apparently plastic, glow-in-the-dark decals to stick to your wall. A set of six Lumobots consists of "Heroic Autobot" and "Evil Decepticon" insignias, and simplified versions of the box art for Optimus Prime, Jazz, Starscream, and Megatron.
