Cockpits, seats, driver's compartments, and cabins: all exist to provide space for an on-board operator or passenger of a manned vehicle. Transformers who have taken alternate modes based on these manned vehicles have good reason to include a cockpit to ensure perfect disguise. However, there are others who have never imitated a piloted vehicle, who even live on worlds where no suitable pilots have existed since recorded history began, who yet have a place for a driver. How can this be? Only Primus knows the truth.
There are also cockpits in Optimal Optimus, Transmetal 2 Megatron, and Tigerhawk's bodies. In early toy designs, these cockpits were shown to hold "spark avatar" figures that looked like small versions of the characters.[1] However, Hasbro ultimately cancelled the spark figures in order to avoid confusion over whether the robots had "pilots" by kids. In Beast Wars cartoon series, Optimal Optimus's cockpit was used to house Optimus Prime's spark.Optimal Situation
