	*Though the original ''Generation 1'' version of the scene transition has become extremely iconic, it is not the first of its kind. In fact, the overall design of a symbol moving away from (or towards) the viewer and then changing direction, including the use of a musical cue, was previously used by the live action ''[[Batman]]'' television series from the 1960s starring Adam West, and is arguably considered even ''more'' iconic than the ''Transformers'' version. The "''Batman'' twirl" transition effect later inspired the "star transition" effect from Hanna-Barbera's 1978 ''Challenge of the Super Friends'' cartoon, which in turn inspired similar transition effects in cartoons from the 1980s, such as Filmation's ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'', or Marvel Productions' own ''[[Spider-Man]] and his Amazing Friends''. Arguably, the ''Transformers'' "icon flip" bears the most similarities to the "''Batman'' twirl".		*Though the original ''Generation 1'' version of the scene transition has become extremely iconic, it is not the first of its kind.
