Notes
- According to Dan Gilvezan in his autobiography Bumblebee and Me, because the recording room at Wally Burr's studio was so small, most of the cast would have to wait their turn in the lobby. Scatman Crothers would bring his guitar to every recording session and perform for his fellow Transformers cast members to keep them entertained during the lengthy wait times. By all accounts, Scatman Crothers really was a number one super guy.
- Crothers and the other deceased cast members of the first four episodes of the series received an In Memoriam tribute at the end of the Transformers 40th Anniversary Event in 2024.
