==Trivia==
*'''RAFTRON: Defender of the Persistent Universe''' was a very short segment that was shown at the very end of a [[Inside Star Citizen|''Inside Star Citizen'']] episode. It featured a giant super robot or mecha formed by combining five RAFTs of different colors. It wields a giant red sword and has a proportionally-sized [[PicoBall|Pico-ball]] for a head.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18465-Inside-Star-Citizen|text=Inside Star Citizen: A Space Odyssey|accessdate=2023-04-27}}</ref><ref>https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQnLStExSSCjcnOu6XMZk0Fnov6_GXfZv Inside Star Citizen: A Space Odyssey - RAFTRON Clip</ref>
