Your explanation of the difference in philosophy between comic and cartoon origins is excellent. Re: the Matrix, I have always accepted it as Primacron is so ancient that he predates the Quintessons by eons and there is no reason why the Matrix could not have originated as some kind of vessel through which the assistant's life-force escaped and later became a vessel for the life force of the Autobot leaders/history. I prefer the explanations of this entire episode over anything else. It all fits
What's even more interesting is that there are certain segments of this episode that really do look like the crappier animation studios did fillers. Take 4:37 for example. The Predacons are so square and badly drawn compared with the rest of the episode. Some of the segments on Cybertron when the spider lands are also good exampes.
I like the idea that Unicron made a bargain with Primacron to build a body for him. This episode always bothered me, and that explanation helps a lot.
@Akutare Not to mention, most of the episodes are in space. And there wasn't a single plot that involved drilling into the Earth's core.

I always thought it was silly to change the color of a dead Transformer, after all it's just paint.

Nelson Shin also directed the 1986 movie didn't he? I also heard somewhere that he was one who designed the light saber effects for Star Wars.
