Talk:The Rebirth, Part 1

Aerialbots

Are you sure they are dead because of Sixshot?(MARV 2000 23:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC))

They were absolutely NOT killed by Sixshot. They were back up and fighting later on in the battle, and weren't defeated until Blast Off took down Silverbolt and declared "That's the last of the Aerialbots" in part three. --KilMichaelMcC 02:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Am I misremembering something, or did Sureshot (or maybe Crosshairs?) always have red eyes throughout all three parts? I remembered some Autobot always had red eyes and it struck me as really random.--MCRG 05:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

That was Crosshairs. --KilMichaelMcC 15:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Continuity errors?

Soooo.... why do the Autobots rush headlong to meet their attackers instead of transforming the city to battle station mode?

It might have something to do with them shutting down Metroplex in TROOP.... --ItsWalky 16:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, maybe not. I've never really been clear on whether Rodimus was killing Metroplex ("I'm sorry, Metroplex... I have to do this.") or just turning him off ("One more button and Metroplex is safe!") At any rate, nobody mentions it onscreen either way. -- Repowers 16:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Major problem

At the end of the race one of the transformers says that there theory was right that they would function better with human operators but they would have no where to go in robot mode but in the episode where some of the transformers were made into humans at least springer had a compartment in his body for humans to sit in and in the movie hot rod has one as well (I think) so why didn't they think of that?88.109.249.107 11:56, 21 August 2009 (EDT)

Springer's chest compartment seems to be a rarity and more a by-product of his transformation than anything else. I can't recall Hot Rod having a compartment - he basically tosses Daniel in when transforming. Perhaps even Brainstorm couldn't get round an awkward gimmick imposed on the storyline.

I was always of the thinknig that the cockpit in Springer's chest was added after the Autobot was turned into a human... Kayb 01:49, 23 March 2010 (EDT)

Goldbug dialogue an error?

• "Goldbug and the Technobots reminisce about all the "loose parts" knocked from the Decepticons after Optimus Prime was resurrected. When did that happen, exactly?"

While Rebirth is shoddy AF surely this can easily be supposed to have happened off-screen between seasons in the several-month gap? We didn't see Kup's platoon fight Regulon metal mongers either, but we're told it happened and there's no continuity error caused by it. Same goes for Goldbug saying that; it always just struck me as cheap TV style "these amazing exciting adventures took place while you the viewer were away", like the planet-hopping slugfest we're told about in the TF:TM narration.

Yes, that does feel largely like a nitpick for the sake of being a nitpick. Escargon (talk) 19:15, 12 July 2022 (EDT)
