According to TF Wiki, the gun was supposed to belong to Red Alert; in a storyboard that was never animated, he gets shot in the back by the Constructicons and drops it. But it doesn't match the design of Red Alert's gun in the series beforehand.

Well, that's one weapon accounted for.
Though the gun was outside, and I thought Red Alert was with Ultra Magnus and the others inside the city when they fought the Constructicons?
Just once I want someone to do a comic adaptation that includes all the deleted scenes. Animating the scenes is too much to ask, but a comic can insert them seamlessly. Hug IDW for not doing that.
Were the deleted scenes well-known enough at that point? From what I can find, the early scripts didn't appear at auction until 2010, while IDW's adaptation was published in 06-07.
At least they added in a splash page of Menasor and Bruticus attacking the Ark to explain where Omega Supreme and the season 2 Autobots were.

Look. That was an option, but instead they did a "what if?" release where Optimus doesn't die and everyone spends the rest of the runtime calling Hot Rod a lamewad. That's just as good, right?
But the weapons themselves were purple, not traditional Autobot colors.
Screw it, I'm saying they belonged to some of the Mini-Spies.
Oh yes, because this is a franchise where coloring mistakes never happen.
I always figured Autobot City just had an armoury with random stuff in it.
If we needed any evidence for why we should have some sort of skull emoji reaction, here it is.
Someone needs to remake this with better toys.
According to Transformers Galaxy Force? Contemporary Earth animals and dinosaurs.
On the other hand according to Transformers Wild King, it's dinosaurs and contemporary Earth animals.
Meanwhile, according to Beast Wars Neo, it's contemporary Earth animals and dinosaurs. Although to be fair, according to Beast Wars 2, it's contemporary Earth animals and... uh... Earth vehicle modes from the 1990s.
There's room for variety. Even Cybertronian beasts can run quite the gamut. The Terrorcons have an orthrus, a bird, a two-headed dragon, a bipedal shark, and a nose goblin.
Weird plant monsters, if Botanica's pre-reformating appearance is anything to go by.
