I would say that the next question is yours.

[Optimist Prime]

Here's a cool one I just found out about, though it's likely old news.

Alternators Jazz/ Meister had a prototype giving him a Porsche 989 alt mode. Why didn't this get made?

There were a few different "official" reasons given for why Porsche desided not to aloww there car's likeness to be used on a TF toy but the real reason breaks down to the German company not wanting their image to be connected in any way to the idea of "War Fare".

It's the same reason the prototype VW Bumblebee was not produced ether.

[Optimist Prime]

That is correct. Makes me want to say, "Screw Porsche and VW for ruining what could have been an even more awesome line of toys." But, I won't because I like Porsches and VWs. Oh well.

When and where did Gears appear in the 1986 movie?

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

When and where did Gears appear in the 1986 movie?

As far as I know he never did.

There were a few scenes in the film that had a few "hard to identify" characters so maybe he's in a few of thoses???

Well lets see....theres the scene from near the begining of the film when Lazerbeak is spying on some construction so he might be there.

An other is when Spike and the others are being droped one by one into the acid vats.You can see characters that look like "Beachcomber" ,"Bumblejumper" and "Reflector" so Gears might be one of the others that you see on the drop line.

But I'm going to ask you to prove this one

I wanna say at the begining of the movie right before the the Autobots launched the shuttle to earth he was sitting at the control panel with Ironhide and Prime while Laserbeak was spying on them. I think that's the scene sto_vo_kor_2000 is talking about.

Gears was In the beginning of the film like you sid, and I believe that it was Hubcap, not Bumblejumper that was to be dropped into the vat, As for my proof, just wacth the Fan Commentary option on the 20th Aniversary DVD.

The face and head was wrong for Hubcap but for that matter it was also wrong for Bumblejumper but the head was closer in appearance to his.

By the way great question.Post an other.

Are you looking for more then one Autobot????

Threw out both seasons of Beast Machines we saw a few fallen TF bodies that werent completely identifiable.There was one that could have been 3 different characters but was "Bluestreak" most likely but could have also been "Prowl" or "Smokescrean".

In an other episode there was an other Autobot body that could have been ether "Ratchet" or "Ironhide" but both should have been dead already but who know they could have been brought back.

Thats all the Autobot bodies that I can come close to identifying but there were other G1 character homage's.

There was both a statue and a hologram tribute to G1 Optimus Prime in 2 different episodes.

And the body of the Decepticon "Soundwave" could also be seen in an other episode.

Keep the questions coming

It was Prowl I was talking about, next:
Name every G1 Transformer seen aboard the Ark in "The Agenda"

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

It was Prowl I was talking about,

It looks more like Bluestreak but its hard to tell with all the dark colors.

next:
Name every G1 Transformer seen aboard the Ark in "The Agenda"

Is that a trick question????

You did not say which part."The Agenda" is a 3 part story.

Anyway if I'm right you can make out Prowl, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Megatron, Thundercracker, Soundwave, and Starscream.


There are also a few that cant eazlly be identified.My guess'es are Jazz and Wheeljack.

Sorry if it was unclear, I meant all 3 parts. Jazz and Wheeljack you say? I alos don't recall some of the others but I'll watch The Agenda again later today.

What classic G1 look does the New Transformers Animated Series re-establish that none of the other TF series have done?

There are two bots laying on their stocmucks that I think may be ether Jazz or Wheeljack.Its really hard to tell who they are but I made my guess'es based on their coloring.

What classic G1 look does the New Transformers Animated Series re-establish that none of the other TF series have done?

I have no idea what your asking.

[Pot Bot]

there are quite a few, but the question is hardly specific is it, do you mean character?? general art work? what?

The Question is What classic Look from the G1 Era does the new TF Animated series have that no other TF series has done since G1? I don't how else to re-word it. Meaning this look has not been used since G1.

[Pot Bot]

well it could be daniel spike and carly in their lil space suit things, it could be the dinobots actually being dinobots, megatron actually looking like g1 megatron, or maybe the fact that cybertron loloks a lot like g1 cybertron.
