How did Blaster arive on Earth?


I understand that the Decepticons had the space brige to bring in new reinforcemants from Cybertron in season 2 but how did the likes of Blaster,Powerglide and Perceptor arrive for the Autobots.They seemed to pop up with no explanation.

So it's treason then!

Well the Autobots also occasionally used the space bridge when the Decepticons left it unguarded for no apparent reason, lol.

But I also suspect we were just supposed to think they'd been there the whole time and we just hadn't been introduced yet, lol.

New Transformers began appearing on Earth without explanation partway through the production of Season 2.

Transformers had tighter continuity during its first season when it was a weekly series. There were references to events from earlier episodes and the origins of new Transformers were always explained. Continuity was largely ignored during the second season. The number of episodes that had to be produced greatly increased when Transformers switched to daily syndication in Season 2. The writers might have had difficulty maintaining continuity as they had to churn out more scripts on a tight schedule. It was also common for TV stations to air episodes in the wrong order, so the writers might have been instructed to disregard continuity and focus on stand-alone episodes.

Or they could have just always been there and not been noticed, after all you don't see every single character in every single episode.

Yeah that's pretty what I always felt. The Autobots ship is supposed to have a large crew, it makes sense that they've just always been there.
