Dreamwave's MTMTE!

...OK then

Oh, about Devastator....don't make me pull up that pic from Carnage in C Minor again :tflaugh1

No need!  I've seen it already!  But I assume that was just a mistake by the animators, they probably wanted just to show a regular Constructicon or something, happened a lot in the cartoons.

 

But Astrotrain being big enough as a shuttle to hold Devastator is another story!

If there was mass shifting in G1 as we know it, how come a said TF couldn't grow to the size of, say, a gestalt.. I mean, if they shrink, then they must be able to grow to huge sizes too, right?

This question is the mother of all BS answers. The stupid thing is that most people fully accept one BS explanation or another.

Retrocon theorization seems to be a more enjoyable alternative to simply accepting that the size-change can be attributed to either shoddy animation or the attempt of the cartoon to bring together toy lines that were created on completely different scales.

 

Oh, and X-Bob is right about Broadside- the profile actually says that he decompresses and shifts around parts during transformation.  My mistake. 

Robot raises body temparature to the point of fusion in a nanosecond.

 

Stretches metallic structure and circuitry to the right format.

 

Freezes into form.

 

New thinner armor is reinforced with an integrated protective field.

 

And back.

*Bangs head against the wall.*

Now explain how every TF(and every cartoon character for that point) can just put their hands behind thier back and grab a weapon or  object straight out of thin air?

do you reallly wanna know where the are pulling it out of? (*) it would be that little hole...or as raptrap likes to put it...the waiste mangement system
