Transphasic in TNG?

In the Episode Descent 1 about 8:04 The Enterprise D fires torps at the fleeing Neuvoborg ship. They are the color of Transphasic Torp as opposed to the red or white of photon or quantum. Anyone else notice this?

    Maybe the ship was refitted with quantum torpedoes.. or just maybe, it was an error by the art department!

    Definatley an error by the art department since neither Transphasics or Quantum's were around at the time. :p

    Never judge a Trek weapon based on its color...

    In the TOS, the Enterprise had practically a different color for phasers and photons in every episode through the first season.

    Originally, the phasers were supposed to be color coded to correspond with their energy signatures - higher levels were blue shifted, lower ones red shifted. This was the same for photon torpedoes until they were changed from energy weapons to some type of physical weapon.

    Not to mention that photons in TNG were red, while in Voyager and DS9 they were Yellow. :p
    Plus klingons and romulans also use photons but they are often green when used.

    And in Nemesis, photons look like pulse phasers. And in JJTrek they're blue-ish-white.

    But no. They weren't transphasics. Just photons, possibly a different class of photon.
