Not only were there errors with color and painting but there were errors with storylines as well. Remember the episode where the constructicons were talking to Omega Supreme reminiscing about the old days of cybertron. When in fact the constructicons were created on earth. they had never been on cybertron.

Which raises another problem in itself -- if Vector Sigma was the only one who could give Transformers life, then how were the Decepticons able to "build" other robots?

I cant even count how many times a Autobot had a Decepticon symbol or vise versa. One Episode in perticular had a close up of Perceptor and he had a red Decepticon symbol, and another one had Sky links with a Decepticon symbol.

But don't forget that that is in itself, a really large error that fans haVE been debating for quite some time......In another ep.( the Secret of Omega Supreme), they flashback to Cybertron, and Omega and the constructicons were best friends until Megatron uses the robo-smasher on 'em and they turn on Omega and destroy Crystal City......then flee Cybertron, because Omega was pretty flashfried over that one, and wanted to stomp a mudhole in Devastator's skidplate!

Why were people so LAME at animation back then?

Why were people so LAME at animation back then?

Mainly because the scripts were in english and the Korean animators tended to speak Korean instead. Hard to get the animation perfect when you can't read the script or the notes.

Probably the same way that Megatron created the Stunticons, and Starscream the Combaticons. Aside from I don't remember how that was; I only read it briefly in Furman's Ultimate Guide, and it was $37.99 Canadian after tax, so I didn't buy it.

 

On a related note, how did the Autobots make the Dinobots without Vector Sigma? Unless they did somehow link to Vector Sigma, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

 

On the other hand, both the Dinobots and Constructicons are in The War Within, as far as I know.

And as for errors, all TF's are perfect in my eyes....yes. :tfgrin

Megatron built the Stunticons, but had to go to Cybertron in order to give them life. Starscream used existing personalities (a.k.a. "sparks" as we would now refer to them) and stuck them in the Combaticons' bodies. And if you're interested in continuity, you could always say that the very reason the Dinobots were so primitive was BECAUSE they hadn't gotten personalities from Vector Sigma. Which kind of makes Wheeljack even more of a "mad scientist."

Don't forget the TWO times that Soundwave had a purple Autobot symbol on his chest! (1: MTMTE Pt. 3, when he's carrying empty energon cubes; 2: Carnage in C-Minor, as Galvatron is looking down at him and talking to him (I think)) I'll get screencaps!

in the second epsode of g1 i got on the internet when rachet is talking to prime you hear rachets voice insted of prime's
