They certainly knew at least vaguely what toys would be out in 85 when the cartoon was being created. Remember Grapple (under a preliminary name) and the Dinobots, Skyfire and the Constructicons and Insecticons were all 85 toys that also appeared in S1.
Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?And we know that Omega Supreme and the Combiners (among other 85 guys) didn't appear in TF:TM because work on that was started so early they weren't finalized characters yet. -ZacWilliam, you generally gotta figure at least a year and more often 2 years between planing and when things hit stores or the airwaves. Or the proverbial ailerons of Titanium Moosebots? *Visit the one and only Cybertronic Bestiary. For a mechazoologic tour of the mechanimals of Cybertron. |

Meh, wonder if parents were asking store employees where "Shockwave" was back in 1984. |

That means Skyfire was the first Transformer on Earth and Starscream was already an Earthen jet back on Cybertron before they launched! |

| "Apart" ≠ "a part" Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 8,795 Location: Germany News Credits: 50 | My brain hurts. Skyfire the first Transformer on Earth - as of Fire in the Sky, yes. No doubt about that. Starscream being an F-15 millions of years ago - that's an artistic error. There's no official fiction where Hauler was a Decepticon. Simple as that. 1 and 1 make 2.
