Wrong Transformer Facts

How the game works:
Write a wrong fact about Transformers. You're not allowed to "correct" previous comments unless it's with more wrong facts. No truth is to be said in this thread!

I'll get the ball rolling with:
The Masterpiece line was originally designed in the '80s but Hasbro decided to wait until kids had disposable income as adults before releasing it.

For the toys both red and blue colours were actually called Rumble (just as we have red and yellow versions of Bumblebee and Cliffjumper) but Hasbro decided to make things less confusing by calling the red one Frenzy in the cartoon.

Bumblejumper is the leader of the Quintessons.

Arcee was the most popular toy in 1986 - so popular that most fans never ever saw her on the shelf.

Most of the toys sadly no longer exist due to an early form of gold plastic syndrome affecting her pink paint.

Wheelie is the most iconic Transformer ever. And easily the most popular.

Very true. I think it not only comes down to him being one of the very few G1 Transformers with proper character development in the show, but also his toy being well engineered for its time with no parts that tend to get lost easily.

Armada Scavenger's engineering was ahead of its time.

G1 Ironhide and Ratchet suffer from a lack of cartoon-accuracy.
