MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: After being repaired, Orion Pax/Optimus Prime was well aware that Alpha Trion was the one who re-built him, and asked him to do the same to his girlfriend Ariel/Elita One. Yet in "The Search for Alpha Trion", Optimus Prime seems to have no idea of that. Though nine millions years passed since then, it is unlikely that Optimus Prime could have forgotten thing like that.

TRIVIA

In the past, Megatron destroyed Orion Pax and Ariel, and the other Decepticons destroyed Dion. Alpha Trion managed to rebuild Orion Pax and Ariel into Optimus Prime and Elita 1, but Dion's fate is not revealed. Some fans speculate that Alpha Trion fixed him too, rebuilding him into either Ironhide or Ultra Magnus, but that speculation was never verified.
Alpha Trion looks and sounds much younger than in the episodes "The Search for Alpha Trion" and "The Key to Vector Sigma". He is the only Transformer who aged in the series.
