I think they wanted it to sound kind of alien and mechanical, and then the circle of fifths part (which is used all over the place in the show) is a pretty dramatic sounding progression, so it adds that serious weight the show was going for (very similar to G.I. Joe in that regard). The composers had quite a résumé. It’s clearly intentional.
I've always thought it was just bad editing on their part and didn't have the money to fix such a minor problem. Cartoons back than had so little money to fix anything because the budget went to the the commercials and toys.
Probably some intern with Street Fighter on the mind. It's always been with a G.
Not talking about the improper loop in the credits but the part that's in both the credits and opening where the tempo shifts a little when the "autobots wage their battle to" bit. If both the main version with a vocalist and the version in the credits where the lines are replaced with an instrument have the same bit in them it's 100% intentional and not an editing error.
Gi joe specifically is kind of crazy because they add extra jingles and song shit on top of the main theme in the ads. Kinda sometimes wonder if there's "full song" variants of shit like the Serpentor or Zartan jingle themes.
you might need to think WAY outside the box to figure out their parts given other background bots like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, they're made out of chunks of various Mobile Suits from Zeta Gundam

For a second there I thought you were talking about Hamlet.
Did you mean the Brave series? It was originally made by Gundam animators so they would reuse a lot designs.
No, Filmation was very proud of never outsourcing, but it was filled with weebs.
No, I don't think the Brave series used any Gundam designs -- just Transformers and previous Brave designs.
that's basically the joke of the names that they were given by nerds online, although I think more leaning into the Tom Stoppard play based on Hamlet
probably worth mentioning here that Iron Leaguer exists
There's a lot of cool weird background shit like that in animation stuff from before they stopped using cels.
Generic Pixar quippy humour, bland/unimaginative designs, and probably a poor treatment of the Quintessons. Yep, this is indeed modern Transformers media.
