    Carnage in C-Minor had so many mistakes along with being a really bad episode. There's a scene where the Decepticons are flying in to attack and Preceptor yells "Look out, it's the Autobots!" So forgetting what side you're on seems to be a running theme that episode.

    The problem with G1 was that each episode was spat out after 4 months of production. Animations usually take around a year per episode. Transformers was so popular, Hasbro had to keep up with demand. Also, some of the bigger mistakes were made when they used AKOM (South Korean animation studio) to animate some of the episodes, instead of Toei.

    Shockwave being on Earth isn't an error/a mistake. Yes, he is Cybertron's guardian, but that doesn't mean he MUST NOT leave Cybertron and come to Earth EVER. By this episode, the Decepticons already invented a space bridge, and used it numerous times. Many Decepticons based on Earth visited Cybertron a lot of times and got back to Earth, so I can't see why Shockwave couldn't do such thing vice versa at least once? He simply came down to Earth in this adventure and then got back to Cybertron. Simple.
    Yeah, this might be an unintentional mistake by the animators, but my point is that in this case it doesn't automatically mean an animation error, as it can actually be logically explained.
    All blue Optimus Prime is not a mistake too. It's plain obvious that they intentionally painted him like that and it's a shadowed Optimus Prime. Even as a kid watching this I figured it's a shadowed Prime and not a mistake.

    • @JeremiahEcks777
      @JeremiahEcks777 2 года назад +4

      I've often thought that. I don't see this as a huge mistake. Odd, yes. Uncharacteristic, yes. But it really really isn't an actual error unless there's a reason it can't be, and as long as the Space Bridge is a thing, Shockers can be there.

  • @BETMARKonTube
    @BETMARKonTube 7 месяцев назад +2

    A mistake similar to the *# 5* is (as far as I remember from my childhood) when the Autobots were running to rescue *Bumblebee,* buried under a fallen building... and Bumblebee himself was part of the rescue team.
    But I honestly can't tell the episode, right now.

    My favourite "Transformers" mistake is a dialogue error instead of an animation error. In "A Prime Problem," where Megatron creates a clone of Optimus Prime and tries to lead the Autobots into a pit filled with something that will kill them, Optimus pleads with Trailbreaker and the others to not listen to the clone. However, in one of the most ironic moments I've ever witnessed, Optimus (who wants to prove to the others that he's the real Optimus Prime) calls out to "TrailBLAZER!"

    S1 there were a few mistakes here and there.
    S2 it was a bit more noticeable with some mistakes being subtle and others sticking out.
    S3 the animaters gave up and pretty much didn’t care. S3 is riddled with mistakes in terms of scaling between characters, characters in the wrong shots, wrong characters animated as talking etc. in fairness 2D animation is so difficult to make so you can forgive the animators for reusing a thing here and there to meet the demands of Hasbro. S2 is probably my favourite or S3 I go back and forth between the two.
    S4 the animation quality is just gone. That being said it still remains one of my favourite iterations of the show. Xx
