Resolution Note:
GetBoneTransform requires an active animator to return the correct transform.
Prefabs don't have active animators until they are instantiated.
The best way to fix the sample in this case would be to instantiate the prefabs in the Start method, cache the poses from the prefabs for later use, and remove the instantiated prefabs.
