| '''Animation errors''' are a phenomenon in cartoons, which means some scenes are weird, inconsistent, or even illogical. Sometimes these represented multiples of otherwise unique characters, characters appearing in inappropriate scenes (even after their original deaths in some cases), inexplicable deviations from [[character model]]s, and odd size variations. They were most rampant in the original [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation 1]] cartoon, due to the low animation budget. However, the cartoon was not alone in this respect considering the production values of most other cartoons in the 1980s. They should not be confused with [[palette swap]]s, which are for the most part intentional.

| Animation errors are often separated into two types:
| |
| ===Animation and technical glitches===
| |
| ====Discoloring====
| |
| Perhaps the most common error is when a character is colored incorrectly. Sometimes they are colored like other characters mistakenly; other times the coloring is totally off, like [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] painted white (and not as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]). Discoloring should not be confused with [[palette swap]]s, which are for the most part intentional.

| ====Dead men standing====
| |
| There have been several examples of characters appearing after they have supposedly died, most notably in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] made appearances in the third season of the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|cartoon]], while [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] showed up on the [[The Headmasters (cartoon)|''The Headmasters'']] and [[Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'']] from Japanese anime series respectively.

| :::Well, what are the categories of "error"? A) '''Animation/Production Error:''' That's clearly huffer, but he's pink. / Starscream is talking in Arcee's voice. / Swoop's arm is seventeen feet away from Swoop's shoulder. B) '''Continuity Error:''' Airraid is present in this shot, but he's supposed to be on Earth. And dead. / Soundwave was present at this battle, though Megatron told him to stay behind and guard his Butterfingers. / Five Faces of Darkness: Passim. C) '''Plot Errors:''' Evil plans that make no sense. / Retreating for no reason. D) '''Science Errors:''' Deflecting missiles by hitting them on the warhead. / Yeah, the Transformers have never heard of ''water,'' right. / Neutron bombs are actually ill-suited for use against robots.
