The Transformers (animation)/Trivia

The Marvel Comics

 * Creator Breakdown: Writer Bob Budiansky sufferred from stress due to trying to constantly shove in new toys, which led to him leaving the comic. He has since said that he has no intention of working on Transformers again, though that doesn't mean he wouldn't say "no" if Hasbro asked him.

The G1 Cartoon

 * Dueling Shows: with ''Challenge of the Go Bots".
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Between the show and the movie, there's a lot of well-known names, some more-so than others. This would later apply to every following series.
 * He Also Did: Peter Chung served as a storyboard artist for the first two seasons.
 * Shinji Aramaki also did several character designs and created Perceptor.
 * Jossed: Fanon assumed that the character Dion from the episode "War Dawn" survived the attack on storage yard 67 and was rebuilt into someone important (Ultra Magnus being the most popular choice), seeing as his best friend, Orion Pax was rebuilt as Optimus Prime. In 2010, Hasbro flat out stated that Dion was never rebuilt into anybody else and had not even survived. Also, The Transformers: Wings of Honor continuity had Dion survive the attack, but he was still called Dion.
 * The Other Darrin: Several characters went through this; most noticeably with series voice director Wally Burr, who voiced, and in different episodes when their normal actors were unavailable, and it showed. Onslaught also switched from S. Marc Jordan to Steve Bulen by The Rebirth.
