			Okay it's been a few years but I think the mystery of Red's appearance can now be "solved". The main reason why he's traditionally considered a mistake is that he wasn't one of the original Autobots on the Ark as shown on the famous two-page spread of self-introductions in [[The Transformers (issue)]], nor was he introduced subsequently.
			But here's the big thing - when that issue was reprinted in the regular UK comic (and again in the Collected Comics) ''that two-page spread was omitted''. It was later printed standalone in the first annual (despite not featuring a lot of the Autobots in that book) and in the "Complete Works" book, but as far as the UK comic is concerned there is no official list of which Autobots were and weren't on Earth from the start. So Red's presence is very simple - he's one of the original crew like any other Autobot at this stage, albeit one who's rarely seen. (Similarly Inferno is easier to understand in this light.) So the only real error is leaving him off a later checklist. [[User:Timrollpickering\|Timrollpickering]] 17:01, 6 July 2011 (EDT)
