In the RiD books we see Bumblebee and several others with the War for Cybertron designs and it seems the books are going for that kind of look so that leaves me wondering why Zeta was given a look is similar to "Turn A Gundam" in Autocracy.

For those who don't know what that is here is a link -

The reason I ask is because the face has similarities to the G1 look in the cartoon but I figured they would have given him a look similar to his WFC self. Do you think it may have been to similar to the look of Sentinel Prime for Megatron Origins?

Zeta from WFC -

Ah - thanks for reminding me of Turn A Gundam. We came SO close to getting that in the West.

Isn't this pretty much the same as asking why ANYBODY didn't have their WfC design in Autocracy?

The ones who have those bodies in RID and MTMTE upgraded to them very recently. The stories set in the past... are set in the past.
