Not the figure, the character. I was watching S1 E12 and realized he can not only change his skin color, but the color of all his clothing as well. Really he appears to have some limited cloaking ability.
Was the origin of this ever explained in the comics? |

Per Mark Bellamo's Guide (1st ed)"...Zartan's perception altering capabilities were rooted in hypnotism and holography."
In the cartoon, not sure. But it was great when Zartan would get all snarky and show Destro in front of CC, then Destro shines some sunlight on him, and Zartan would start to cry, and Destro would laugh maniacally forever. Good times... |

In the comics he used mini hologram projectors built into his clothing.

Ugh. So I can buy in on all the other TF mythos without much explanation (which a long thin but surprising solid thread), but for some reason, the mass-shifting sours me from the whole thing.
Have the comics or TF forums explained this, or are they too busy talking about all the new figures they get every year? |

Not to highjack the OP, but here is a ink re the mass shifting.
Size changing - Transformers Wiki As far as Zartan, there was a Marvel issue where Buzzer stole Zartan's cycle and demonstrated to the Dreadnoks how the holographs worked. I believe it was issue 35.
