Page "Constructicons" Paragraph 24

Interestingly, the official bible to the series originally describes the Constructicons as having " no explained origin.

" Presumably, this encouraged David Wise, the writer of " The Secret of Omega Supreme ", to give the characters an explained origin, unaware that it conflicted with the one-line reference to their being built on Earth from " Heavy Metal War ".

Nevertheless, it is not impossible to reconcile these two stories, if one simply assumes that when Megatron said the Constructicons were " built ," he was referring to their new Earth bodies after their arrival from Cybertron ( ironically, " The Secret of Omega Supreme " neglected to give the Constructicons redesigned Cybertronian modes, making it appear as if they always turned into Earthly construction vehicles ).
