    I like the fact they replaced the Red Cross symbols with the star of life symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Life with autobot logos on ratchers shoulders for both the core and voyager

    Well spotted, although Hasbro has replaced the Rod of Asclepius with the Autobot insignia; likely to evade trademark infringement (just as TakaraTOMY also offered a Red Cross logo with an Autobot symbol in the centre etc.). I'm glad that Hasbro chose to replace the Rod of Asclepius with the Autobot logo over the more common mistake that a lot of people make where it's replaced with the Rod of Mercury. I've seen this happen in both fiction (e.g. Star Trek) and non-fiction (e.g. my dentist's medical lamps).


    A: Comparing the rod of Mercury with the Rod of Asclepius
    B: Asclepius, or Aesculapius in Greek; god of medicine and healing
    C: the Star of Life w/ the Rod of Asclepius in the centre
    D: World Health Organisation's logo
    E: Australian Medical Association's logo
    F: Royal Australian Army Medical Corps logo
