And just where exactly did you hear this?

Hasbro had nothing to do with Scramble City. It was Takara and Toei alone who worked on it.

All that could have been programmed into them at birth.

Even if thats true it doesnt change the fact that it never aired.

Hence its not part of US continuity.

And you know what, in almost 25 years of research and my too few years working at Marvel comics file room I have never seen any indication that Hasbro intended to air Scramble city.

And while I was there I found a few interesting things in the files [wish I coppied them]

So, please, back up your claim.....provide proof that Hasbro intended to air Scramble city.

Scramble city was most likely in the beginning used by Hasbro as a promo episode. to show all the networks what they were getting the following year/years.

And considering that every G1 episode was written the US production and then dubbed into Japanese, I find it had to believe that the Japaneses written [by Toyohiro Ando] and produced Scramble city would have been the first episode dubbed into english.
