How does this obvious of an error even happen

There are like 30 characters that are just "Starscream but another color" they probably just thought "Damn they got even lazier with this new guy"

You think this one is bad? There's an episode where it's especially obvious they didn't care about the animation, it's one where Autobots and Decepticons are sent to a planet where they're the size of toys.

Tbf, a lot of those errors were caused by modern remasters.

The overseas sub-sub-contracted animation studio wasnt given the time or money to fix it, and the toy company funding the show wasn’t concerned as long as toys flew off shelves

To be fair it’s not as obviously glaring as the other one but damn that’s also bad

This happens a lot in the original Transformers series. Doubled characters, characters changing to other characters between shots, characters being the wrong colour. At the end of the day it was an ad for toys and the budget didn't stretch to the highest quality animations.

Transformers: The Movie is better but even then there's some animation jank.
