#Transformers autobot symbols series

The early-90s repackaging of the original series used an altered form of the symbol flip that involved the Cybernet Space Cube. The Japanese Generation 1 follow-up series used minor variations on the original symbol flip, with each series making its own changes to the movement and visual style of the symbol. For example, the Quintessons were represented by the Decepticon symbol, while humans were typically represented by the Autobot symbol (even if the individuals in question were plotting against the Autobots during that scene). Since only the Autobot and Decepticon symbols were used, transitions to or from scenes featuring characters technically belonging to neither faction applied a generic good-guy/bad-guy approach. A distinctive musical sting accompanied this transition. Finally, it moved back into the foreground until it was large enough to fill the screen again before cutting to the next scene. The symbol then receded into a black background for a short distance and flipped around with a flare effect to reveal the symbol of the faction that would be prominent at the beginning of the next scene on its reverse-side. The preceding scene would cut to the insignia of whichever faction was most prominent at the scene's end, which was large enough to fill the screen. The scene transitions in the original Transformers series employed a "symbol flip" that was one of its iconic elements.
