Trivia

• Meltdown is the only villain set in the 2010 set year to not have a Glatorian head piece from Bionicle 2001-2010/Generation 1.
• Despite what is shown in the box, Meltdown's containers do not point upwards; they point to the sides of Meltdown's upper arms.
• Meltdown's prototype set is where his lower jaw is smaller. This is also utilized in the televison episodes.
• In the television episodes, Metldown has opaque containers and a yellow left hand. The hand is above where the Radioactive Sludge Shooter is placed.
