I know he "used" his better half like twice that I can think of. Once we saw Roller and some other time they loaded something in there... Where was it the other 99.44% of the time?

Haha, great question. Where did the weapons come from too? I say it hung out with the Rodimus camper!

I say it was just always off picture.

I think the rule in most animes is that a character has a certain amount of "sub-space" (or was it null-space?) from whence they can pull weapons, etc that otherwise were never visible a few frames prior.

 

In Prime's case, he's a leader...so um, I guess he got a LOT of subspace.

I saw in toyfare magazine where it went. It went to a ballgame and a strip club I beleive. :tflaugh

It always rolled off screen.

 

Looking at those episodes again the animators were obviously slaves of the company producing the show. They most like lived in a sweat shop/death camp and were too sleep deprived and exhusted to even realise they for got to animate Primes trailer. So it may have been an ongoing goof up. There were mistakes on every single episode.

SUBSPACE!!!!

 

The real question is, how did Jetfire get to be so friggin' gi-normous when he transformed? Same, the other way round, for Megs, Soundwave, Reflector, etc. (BTW the Dreamwave explanation is total silliness.)

even dreamwaves doing it in G1 vol1

even dreamwaves doing it in G1 vol2.

Where did Megtron's silencer and shoulder mount go and how come all cartoon characters have to do is put their hands behind their back and when they bring it back suddenly they're holding something like a gun or other weapons?
