Reflector's product number

Can anybody read the last digit of Reflector's product number from Teletraan I's display? I can only read the 579. If I had to guess, I'd say the last digit is an 8 given that 5798 hasn't been used. --FortMax 03:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Leaving the Ark unguarded

In the Continuity Errors section some person asked 'Was it wise of Optimus Prime to leave the Ark unguarded', without Autobots, etc, bringing said Autobots to watch the fight. To which I say, the whole B Plot of the show was how Prime DID NOT leave the Ark unguarded, anticipated Decepticon trickery in that one instance, and left five uber-Autobots, Dinobots, to guard Teletraan I, not zero Autobots as the question suggests.

Thus I removed the question. --Blue Spider 17:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

"glitches"

Is recycling a human scream from another episode really an error? That sounds more like a trivia note to me. That's the sort of things cartoons do on, well, purpose. They'll grow a library of various sounds they can reuse later. If it's an error, then we'd better start filling in a lot of sections on Beast Wars/Machines cartoons. They're full of pre-recorded character grunts and whatnot. --ItsWalky 23:23, 11 February 2010 (EST)

too tired to fix. still much to do. -- Repowers 23:29, 11 February 2010 (EST)

"Sorry about that!"

* Whatever Ironhide is reacting to when he says "Uhhhh, sorry about that", it's not actually shown on the screen... unless he's apologizing for wanting to help the Dinobots, which in the cartoon's time would have been quite a while ago.

It's very brief, but you can see him punching the wall in anger. He's apologizing for that.

I imagine you're right about that being the intent, but it doesn't look like an actual punch (I always thought he was stretching his arm or something), it doesn't connect with anything, it doesn't cause anyone to react, he doesn't sound angry, and he's speaking and "punching" almost at the same time, all of which adds up to a very peculiar moment. -- Repowers 20:15, 12 February 2010 (EST)

Oh yeah, there's no question it's screwed up on some level. I think it's clear he's supposed to be punching the wall, but he's standing too far away from it for the punch he throws to connect, and it makes no sound - indeed, the only indication he's actually thrown a punch is the fact that the screen shakes when his arm extends to its fullest. And he starts saying "uh..." as soon as his fist is out there. - Chris McFeely 20:48, 12 February 2010 (EST)

Huh?

When Megatron comes to lure Optimus into a trap talk and Wheeljack and Ironhide fire their missiles, they exchange lines.

Doesn't "exchange lines" just mean "talk to each other"?--Nevermore 11:51, 13 November 2010 (EST)

Yeah, this is gibberish as written. I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean. And it sounds like a Rhino screwup - I'm sure I'd have caught it otherwise. -- Repowers 21:47, 15 November 2010 (EST)

Term?

Is there a term for the one-on-one combat in this episode? The Razor's Edge also uses the concept. —Interrobang 21:41, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

Netflix

Does Netflix use the Kid Rhino version?

It has Swoop hovering, and Megatron and a miss-colored Starscream standing around silently while the constructicons work. so I would say it is.Wavefan 19:24, 10 May 2012 (EDT)
