We see the combaticons in the show BEFORE they get built by starscream though...so...that's pretty bad too.

We do, which ep?

Idea: we take the parts of continuity that we like and make sense, toss out the rest, and combine what we have. PRESTO! because marvel/sunbow screwed things up, its up to us transfans to fix things AGAIN.

Trans-Europe Express I think, or somewhere around there...but let's stay on topic shall we?

no, we will not stay on topic :tftongue

And Trans-Europe Express featured the Stunticons, not the Combaticons.

you're thinking of the 2nd aerialbot episode, where slingshot got the rolls-royce chest... can't think of the title right now, but Bruticus was in that episode. But that's also because the episode was placed way out of order so they could market the aerialbots. We can't do anything about the inconsistencies within the episodes, but the episodes themselves can be placed in different orders to give a semblence of continuity.

 

Constructicon Theory: Being Decepticons all along, they secretly craved violence yet promoted peace by building many of Cybertron's city-scapes. Secretly they built Megatron as the ultimate warrior for the underground gladatorial matches. They programmed him and built him so well in fact, that when he was given life by Vector Sigma, he was the highly intelligent, extremely charasmatic, and the most powerful Decepticon yet. So charasmatic that the constructicons chose to follow Megatron and assist him in his rise to leadership, building for him the Robosmasher and reconfiguring themselves to be able to combine into Devastator, whom Megatron intended on being the ultimate Decepticon warrior. Flaws in the process however revealed weakness exploited in their first clash against Omega Supreme. Fearing for their lives against the now vengeful Omega Supreme, they requested assistance from Megatron. Megatron, knowing that Omega Supreme was virtually unstoppable, and would be detrimental to his conquest of Cybertron, chose to sacrifice his warriors, removing their sparks and personality components and launching their lifeless bodies into deep space. Omega Supreme in his blind rage pursued the ship when he discovered of it's launch, bent only on destroying the Constructicons.

 

Leap forward at least 4 million years later, Megatron, his forces on Earth now outnumbered by the Autobots and their new Dinobots, sets his warriors to build new bodies for the Constructicons, and merging them with the sparks/personality components he and Soundwave had kept hidden, and thus the Constructicons were reborn. Soon after, Omega Surpreme in his tireless hunt learns of the true location of the Constructicons, and eventually joins Optimus in his quest to destroy his once friends.

 

 

Purely theory, but i find it makes the most sense :)

you're thinking of Aerial Assault, which actually takes place after Starscream's Brigade and The Revenge of Bruticus.

Right, it takes place afterwards, but was aired before Starscream's Brigade

It was also put on the DVD's before Starscream's Brigade. In the later DVD's Rhino changed the orders to make the continuty flow better. Why couldn't they have done it with this set too. O well

yeah, there wasn't much order to the airing of the G1 episodes. And yeah, why the crap did they do the DVDs that way? tfarchive has em listed in the proper order.

Thanks for the info. O and on topic I thought having Octane leaving the Decepticons and joining with the Autobots (never come out a siad he joined, but the Autobots were protecting him, even Rodimus) was a cool idea, and wish that DW would do it the same why. He could be for G1 what Dinobot was for Beast Wars. Reading his bio (More than Meets the Eye) shows that this will never happen.
