Dinobot Enigma says "5 Dinobots in bot mode", can I use Wave 1 Dinobots to form Volcanicus?

If a character has more than one Cargo Trailer, how much additional attack does it have?

One cargo trailer 🠪 +1 attack
Two cargo trailers 🠪 +4 attack
Three cargo trailers 🠪 +9 attack

Each cargo trailer checks for how many cargo trailers are on the bot. So, with three cargo trailers equipped, the first one checks, sees that three cargo trailers are on the bot, and adds three attack. Then the second one checks and adds an additional three attack and so on.

This is based on a Facebook screenshot shared on Discord of a question WotC answered

With respect to Perceptor's alt mode ability, is zero a pile?

Yes, zero is a pile. It is perfectly fine to split the cards into two piles, one of four cards and one of zero. Listen to thisdesigner interview for confirmation (30:26 into the interview).

Can you I Still Function a character with a Body mode?

You can't bring back a Body mode character from KO because it won't have a head. Effects like I Still Function! and Involuntary Promotion will not work at all to bring back a Body. You can, however, bring back a Head from KO because it will be in Bot mode (and only in Bot mode).

Why is there a Decepticon symbol on Gear's stratagem?

In the 1985Changing Gears episode of the G1 cartoon, Gears has a circuit removed and becomes a happy to please mechanoid who will help anyone, including the Decepticons. The symbol on the stratagem isstated to be a tongue in cheek reference to that episode.

Can the Better Things To Do Than Die stratagem be used on Sergeant Springer?

No. It is solely for Autobot Springer - Aerial Defense. The lack of "Autobot" in the stratagem target is believed to be unintended.

How does Vesatility interact with Toolbox? Would it effectively double the impact of Versatility, since each battle icon colour you flip is a separate instance, or does it just add 1 to the total being repaired?

Toolbox only adds 1 to the total being repaired. The 'for each' in Versatility is looping to calculate the amount of repair that will be done, then the repair is applied as one event. Raider Ratbat works the same way.
Wave 1's Chop Shop however works the other way. It has the repair inside the for each, allowing Toolbox to apply for each repaired damage.
