ok so we know G1 has more then enought of it's share of screw ups in its day well I was watching "rise of the constructicons" and at 1:00 I noticed somthing "old school" about bumblebee's autobot symbol Link to pic and here is the link to the episode on youtube to prove I didnt photoshop this =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZYbtvoosYk
Something tells me that was done on purpose, it just seems to well done, I mean most symbols don't even look that good yet here the decepticon symbol is so clean.
Shattered Glass Animated Bug Bite? Seriously, I missed that. Guess it was a simple case of importing the wrong graphic file.
I know a way to solve such problem! FROM NOW AND ON ALL SYMBOLS MUST BE HAND-DRAWN! They actualy draw they sometimes, dunno why the whole draw/paste change.
I noticed and commented in the rise of the constructicons discussion thread. I son't think it was done on purpose so it leaves the only option being wrong image import.
I think it's an animator having a laugh myself, why else would you draw such an accurate looking sigil that's on screen for a spilt second. I certaily didn't see it the first time.
While it is Cartoon Network animation, it's still animated overseas where those doing the animation may not catch their own mistakes, etc. Especially if they're on a tight time-frame. I'd call it a mistake.
