...The 1986 movie shows that two Cyclonus were created, yet only one was seen in the third season. Ironhide was killed off in the movie, but was briefly seen in The Headmasters (1987). And Wheeljack was also killed in that movie, but had a more defined role in Victory (1989).

The script regarding the creation of Unicron's charges was bordering on pathetic. the movie itself is absolutely riddled with animation and continuity errors, so lets just leave that one right alone.
The movie was released in Japan in August of 1989, unlike the US. The Japanese disregarded the 4th season and proceeded with their own take on the continuity. So, yes, it is entirely plausible for the Japanese to have these and other dead in the US characters featured. Watching Wheeljack, Minerva and Perceptor working away on Ginrai hurt my head thinking about it too.

That is all true. However, I was using those choice points to show him that if he wanted to bicker about an animated error getting a Masterpiece spin-off... Then he might as well bicker about every other aspect that was allowed. But thanks for the additional stuff, even though The Rebirth is the exact reason why I will not collect any vintage U.S. Hasbro pieces anytime soon.

They've got some descent figures there. We can thank Hasbro's budget cuts for making David Wise's job as a scriptwriter all the more difficult.
"Hi, I'm Sureshot. I'm Triggerhappy" ok, who are the next 30 toys we need to introduce in the 2 seconds we have left of the episode?
I agree also with the comment on the animation error. Takara now has an extra 3 rainmaker characters up their sleeves, not to mention all those filler seekers seen in the first 3 episodes. I will not be surprised at all if they pump out another 5 seeker characters based on season 1

Besides that, it was not even animated by Toei - They worked on a good chunk of the first two seasons, the movie, less on season 3, and were hired by Takara to work on their stuff while Hasbro chose a cheaper company to do The Rebirth.


LOL AKOM & Nelson Shin. Making money at the expense of quality. Who cares if Brawl is shown next to Bruticus?!
