== Trivia ==
The name of the Horrorkons appears to have been inspired by the Horrorcons from 1980s cartoon ''The Transformers''. They were two Decepticon Triple Changer Headmasters, who transformed into animal forms (an ape and a dragon/tyrannosaurus rex) and into fighter jets, whilst their robot heads formed their animal heads and their jets' pilots.
