MISTAKES/GOOFS
- CHAR: The Autobots respond with really surprised faces when Optimus Prime exclaims his pleasure after Ravage (their captive) had escaped. Yet they were the ones who came up with the idea of letting him go in the first place, so there is no explanation for their startled faces. Also in this shot, the car doors on Prowl's shoulders have been miscolored - the colorists probably thought they belonged to the other characters who were standing before him.
- CONT: Hound is drawn really small when Spike rescues him and pulls him onto dry land. He seems to be as big as a human, even though he is supposed to be a giant robot.
- CONT: While Rumble is dueling with Hound underwater, he can also be spotted fighting the other Autobots in the power plant in some shots.
- CONT: When the Autobots are standing near the ruby mines of Burma, some of them have drastically miscolored heads.
- FAKE: After Gears transforms, Optimus Prime comes into the shot from behind a mountain. There is a rock in the foreground that covers a portion of Gears, yet Prime's leg (which is behind Gears) can be seen in front of the rock.
TRIVIA
- When the nearly human-sized Ravage transforms and shrinks into his cassette-mode, you can see flashes of light surrounding the rocket launchers on his hips as they disappear. Fans have speculated that this effect was supposed to show them being "teleported" into a pocket-dimension while he is in his alternate mode. Unfortunately, in later episodes the uses of these effects gradually diminished and pieces of equipment such as the rocket launchers in question simply "popped" out of nothing when the characters transformed.
- While fighting on Sherman Dam, Optimus Prime and Megatron reveal their unique weapons: Optimus retracts his right hand and replaces it with a glowing energon axe, and Megatron turns his right hand into energon flail. Though this is the only episode these weapons are in use, they were very memorable abilities, since the original toys came with them as well. Later releases Optimus and Megatron's toys included them as accessories.
