Twas only the first issue. It was chock full of all kinds of art errors. Things improved over time, though.Dead Metal wrote:Why is a mis-coloured Optimus Prime attacking the Ark in that last page?

That body type is definitely Jazz.Rodimus Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:However, it seems IDW tried fixing some coloring errors since that Jazz standing next to Optimus on the page with the Autobot Elder should be miscolored gold instead of white like he is here.
That was an error? I just always thought that was either Bumblebee or Sunstreaker.

The cartoon had animation errors, the comics had...those.

Looking at it again, the other Optimus seems to be using Hound's body.
This is almost as hilarious as the German covers.

The first comics certainly had more truth in advertising that the cartoon which came after.
A close second for toy-accurate depictions was issues 33 and 34, which I believe was US comics reader's first introduction to the UK version of Transformers. These were my first Transformers comics and I thought enough of them to keep them for 25 years.

I stopped reading The Transformers comics long before issue #80, and had not read that story. I'm sure "the powers that were" translates as Jim Shooter. He had a reputation in the industry for making last-minute changes.
Thanks for the insight.
