    I worked that out a few years back but I didn't see it as a jet, more like storage for the helmet while in trailer mode. I could tell there was a seat there for a diaclone guy so at most, I figured it was a gun battery.

    Right in the centre of each of FOC Metroplex's many wheels (except the crotch wheel) there is a tiny Autobot symbol on the middle. Well, I presume that's what they're meant to be, it's the same basic shape with the eyes.

    Started listening to the audio commentary on TFPS3(BH)... one thing the writers wanted to include in the show but couldn't was to introduce more Wreckers, particularly Seaspray (Sea Spray?). They basically described him as being nautical and being the baddest of the Wreckers... so in other words... kinda like Depth Charge. Would've been cool of David Sobolov reprised his Depth Charge voice for TFP Seaspray (since they already had him doing Shockwave ).

    The writers were also boasting about how Hasbro let them know before they started writing Season 3 that it would be their final season, which let them nicely tie up loose ends which otherwise doesn't happen when writers find out later (as we saw with the end of the US G1 cartoon and Beast Wars). Meanwhile on Cybertron's moon...

    Also, one thing that I never thought of before... when Jasper was evacuated and declared a no-go disaster area, how come we didn't hear/see anyone from the Japanese consulate attempt to locate/recover Miko? Surely her parents would want to cancel her exchange programme, especially if the school itself has been destroyed. Or maybe she's just that annoying that they'd rather let her finish her stay in the U.S., even if meteors are purportedly falling on her head and she's gone missing. We didn't hear about Raf's mum either... seems like Jack is the only one with a concerned parent when the expletive hits the fan!
