More Than Meets The Eye - Part 1
More Than Meets The Eye - Part 1
I'm beginning to rewatch all transformers G1 episodes, just watched the very first episode.
Some questions though:
- Who are those 3 robots that can transform into a photocamera, never seen them before !
- Did the ship actually download information from planet earth to let the transformers/decepticons transform in carmobiles. Because their names were already autobots. And the two decepticons that followed bumblebee on cybertron were 2 flying triangles.

-All three are known as Reflector. They also have separate names: Spectro, Spyglass and Veiwfinder, if I recall correctly.
-Don't know exactly what you say. But, Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron had they're Cybertronian modes (triangle jets, hover cars, street lamps ). When they were stranded on Earth, Teletraan 1 (Autobots' ship's computer) gave them Earth modes so they could disguise themselves as what Teletraan believed to be dominating life form on Earth.

-Okay, the bomb's dropped. Life goes on. No amount of sulking or worrying changes that. We've got our own lives to live. In that regard, in five minutes time, I am using the autopilot on the Midnight Runner and taking it down the pub. If I go on my own, I go on my own.
-Well. Wait up, you horrible English git. While I'm around, you don't have to go anywhere on your own.
And, one by one, the others follow.
And, one by one, they begin to smile.

Thx for the information, I'm know watching episode 2. And it seems those 3 robots are not alone I saw like 7 of them at the same time. I asked a friend of mine who is a transformer-guru and he told me these 3 make appear only in the first six episodes because their popularity wasn't that high. Can you explain why I saw 7 of these guys. I also heared that there were some errors in the G1 series like two starscreams at the same time on the screen. Is this the same error ?
Sorry for my not so good english !!

Well the 2 Starscreams or the 7 reflectors is just the beginning
there are tons of errors, that you didn't see as a child.
But don't let them or the sometimes childish/stupid stories bother you
The episodes are often still very good

In More Than Meets The Eye you'll see several Starscreams, Rumbles, or Reflectors more than once. People tend to say:
'It's not an error, it was made on a purpose so Decepticons don't look outnumbered when compared to Autobots. Who said there weren't many Decepticons who had the same colour and the same jet mode?'
I say it is an error, but whatever flows your boat.

Well, at least the orange seeker has been retroactively declared "official", as e-Hobby has released him as "Sunstorm" in Japan.

The annoying thing about Cartoon reflector was the fact they were just clones of one robot. If you have a look on the net for pictures of the actual reflector toy, you'll find the three robots that comprise him (Spetcro, Viewfind and Spyglass), all look physically different. Why did they not incorporate this into the cartoon?
They must have had scematics of the toys to work from, so it doesn't make sense to me.

Beast Wars CGI show vs. G1 kids' cartoon = Great storytelling & decent CGI animation vs. few average stories among tons of cr@ppy idiot plots & mostly lame animation with lots of errors.
Beast Machines CGI show vs. G1 kids' cartoon: See above.
G1 would beat Armada storywise if it wasn't for the last quarter (the final 13 or so episodes in a row) of the armada cartoon which simply rock. Animation-wise, Armada as a whole is better than G1 as a whole.
So, I don't see your point either.

Are these unaired episodes if so are there more unaired episodes out there.
I think these are Japanese episodes. The Japanese series had its own storyline and continuity e.g. they disregarded the events that occurred in Transformers: The Movie.
Scramble city features the Protectobots and Stunticons, and I think Metroplex also appears. I'm not sure if it was ever dubbed into English, the version I have is all in Japanese.
Some Japanese Transformer shows have been translated, and you can purchase the Transformers: Takara series on Video and DVD from Play.com
