transformers episode 81 - ghost in the machine part 1

[RogersRoyal]

At least Bumblebee actually got some screen time in this episode. He like so many other Season 1 characters were all but phased out by this time. Even the greatest Bumblebee was fighting for a moment in this season.

[LeeASanchez]

How come starscream didn't asked for a New New Body. Like 747

[StarWarsAddict527]

Galvatron: Destroy him he's lost his mind!

Me: Are you talking about yourself or Scourge?

[Bullshark84]

It takes a madman to know one.

[FalcnPWNCH]

loved the way Warpath failed at pursuing with aerial bots xD

[KentuckyRebel11]

G 1 Starscream has an awesome voice!

[mattabe75]

Best episode ever.

[StarWarsAddict527]

G1 Starscream's voice is so annoying!

[Primus2X]

Season 3 is packed full of animation errors, mostly because it was animated by "budget" animation studio AKOM instead of Toei which animated Season 1-2

[phesterjr]

All of yall are crazy saying Season 3 makes no sense or the episode is stupid. It's better than that bullshit coming on the HUB channel now. The new transformers looks too mighty morphin power ranger like.

[RichardJDuncan]

@phesterjr Uh no dude Transformers prime is awesome! It's better than season 3 Transformers G1. Transformers G1 was good from Season 1-2

[phesterjr]

@RichardJDuncan Maybe for you it is but I hate it. 

[RichardJDuncan]

@phesterjr Well okay. I can respect your opinion :/

[THECRAZEBLING]

Season 3 makes no fucking sense...

[wesley1975]

cool music starting at :33 and ending at 1:43

[blackbolt75]

This was a stupid episode.

[charlie35854]

And when did Bumble Bee get a doctor's script for steroids? He's ficken huge!! That'll put Bigfoot and the other monster trucks to shame.

[charlie35854]

OK! Can somebody tell me how many people voiced Cyclonus? Up til this episode, I've must have heard at least 3 different voice types.

[ShadowBro100]

cyclonus sounds weird in a low tone hes a traitor give him a quarter

[Battleship009]

He did a rhyme.

[greatvaluepoop]

@Battleship009 : Look grampa!....Slurpy booty!!!!

[phoenixman8569]

fix one wire and unicron is alive again?

yea right!

[Battleship009]

He wasn't dead just dormant.

[ShadowBro100]

power drive said his script to early

[ShadowBro100]

starscream lives cause they miss why is he screaming him then

[ShadowBro100]

he is a traitor give him a quater

[maddog9ism]

@ShadowBro100 i didnt think he realy said that i thought you were making a joke

[ShadowBro100]

so umm is this in real order cause this is two episodes from megatron and he died in the movie then turned into Galavatron

[wwyrl]

is i me, or did bumblebee get bigger?

[Holasrmateo]

The episode Starscream's Ghost is pretty inconsequential compared to this episode. Also you think after hearing Starscream a few episodes early, it would be pretty obvious what is going on.

[Hardware952]

Pass the unicron, man.... eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrre

[checkmateforever]

I wonder why they chose to bring back Starscream.

[Hyeesa]

@checkmateforever In the word of megratron from the G2 comic, when he asked himself the same question.

"because i am an idiot, thats why"

[greezycheezy2]

ironic for galvatron to say scourge has lost his mind

[9594Jacob]

Galvatron is insane and nuts!!!

[yoshimickster]

WOW! Powerglide whined about getting shot before he got shot! Weird. XD

[Goemas12]

since when has bumblebee been gold bug when did this happen

[tan4eva]

@Goemas12 in the return of optimus prime.

[Teeheehee093]

wtf why does galvatron sound so stupid

[shermanvermin76]

Unicron *definitely* isn't my favourite, for *2* reasons:

1: he hates *both* allegiances

2: he never had a figure made of him in Hasbro's original 1980s G1 toy line

[StarFighters76]

"Destroy him, he's lost his mind!"

Says the nutcase himself lol

[swedichboy1000]

orson welles version of unicrons voice is kick ass

[theWudgeMeister]

how the f#ck did bb get back in the show?

[soseztheleadr]

Galvatron is calling Scourge insane?!

There's an example of the pot calling the kettle black. ^^

[vidman1976]

Razorclaw is coloured... different (Divebomb's colourscheme?) for a split second early in the episode. Scamper is gigantic compared to Sky Lynx when he first lands. When he drives towards Metro's brain, Bumblebee has large wheels. Warpath enlarges suddenly when he drives up towards the screen. This might've been intended to be a zoom-in, but the background doesn't change.

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@vidman1976 well thats what made this season a big fail ecept the fact that we got new decepticons and starscream lives!

[shermanvermin76]

@vidman1976 The Predacons, like the Constructicons, are the *other* combiners who I totally don't like (as are the near end season combiners the 'Terrorcons'); although I seem to like Metroplex and Trypticon, I don't like the *other* Autobot and Decepticon giants who function as *playsets* for the toy line (Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Fortress Maximus and Scorponok). Just as *well* this is Warpath's final appearance (and I don't like Jetfire or the Dinobots).

[EFREETBOY]

@MTJMTN Those Cyclonus type or Scourge type Decepticons are even more confusing than the original Seekers because they all have the same color. Unlike before wherein Starscream is red and the others of different color. Even Galvatron has blue tone also. Maybe Unicron have few ink options to color them.

[MTJMTN]

There were two cyclonus type decepticons at first in the movie however the one not piloted by galvitron when assulting the autobots leaving earth was destroyed by grimlock's breath weapon while boarding the ship. not sure but ti think skywarp and thundercracker were those two cyclonus's just one of them died twice in the movie (talk bout a bad day).

[MultiRob77]

This is the Best G1 Season apart from Season 2. Starscream is so mental. Pmsl. Ha Ha Ha Ha.

[kennyscott11]

unicron sounds like cyclones in grimlocks new brain he sound like galvatron from the movie why did is voice change

[kennyscott11]

he is A traitor give him a quarter

[shermanvermin76]

@kennyscott11 Cyclonus said 'He is a traitor give him *no* quarter'.

[Kohdok]

8:23 Umm... your eyes asplode?

[exilejedi7]

@QuassDebonair war 4 cybertron on ps3/x-box has very little if any connection 2 "bay verse live action movies" its there cybertronian modes

[jamesshadowlordtv]

i was wondering where war path and power glide were ever since the movie they been gone

[shermanvermin76]

@jamesshadowlordtv And Powerglide's *another* character I can put up with hardly seeing.

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@shermanvermin76 i like him but war path i would tel to put a crankshaft in it

[jamesshadowlordtv]

odd how galvatron could not hear star screams voice

[Bla31n]

Scourge was Skywarp?

[transformerschandler]

@Bla31n i think he was thundercracker

[Bla31n]

@transformerschandler I'll have to watch that scene again with Megatron and Unicron. Funny thing about Skywarp and Thundercracker is that they didn't stand out as much on the show as well as Scrourge and Cyclonus.

[Bla31n]

@transformerschandler I'll have to watch that scene again when Unicron reformed Megatron and the others. Funny thing about Skywarp and Thundercracker is how little I anything about them and they didn't standout as much as Cyclonus and Sourge. I definitly know Starscream and who could forget him?

[MSG685]

one wire? thats all it took to reactivate Unicron.

[SamJay57]

Scourge has Bi-Polar disorder! love it!

[Tomassization]

finally the decepticons dont fail at something

[martinf74]

Cyclonus should have been leader. Galvatron is a madman ever since the destruction on Unicron.

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

why the dramatic look of Kup at 5:13

[TFBrawn]

bumblebee is back woohoo i thought he was died

[fredthefrowner]

Yeah, build an easily panicked mega-bot that freaks out while firing lasers. Great job Autobots! Did Wheeljack build that for ya? ;)

[shermanvermin76]

@fredthefrowner I know you're not asking what *happened* to Wheeljack, I just want to say I don't mind not seeing *him* in this season since his death in the movie.

[aisleview]

cool predocons 

[TheTOONhunter]

I can't help but feel that there's a darker tone to this season of transformers. Maybe its in this opening music--or the fact that the season pretty much takes place in deep space--or that galvatron's just a psychotic, genocidal, creep

[jazz265]

the dude at 0:49 sounds like starscream

[shermanvermin76]

@jazz265 It must be that Sweep is voiced by the late Chris Latta. He's even asking Scourge (the Sweeps' leader) why he's funny before he turns on the Predacons (and not *ha-ha* funny, *odd* funny).

[jlward]

I understand that after the serious tone of the movie they had to tone things back down for the kiddies, but gosh did they miss the boat on Galvatron. Instead of making him the kooky lunatic that they did, they could have made him so much more sinister. Oh well, at least we have TF Animated Megatron - who would have eaten both G1 Megatron and G1 Galvatron for cybersnacks LOL

[QuassDebonair]

@jlward the war for cybertron Megatron would beat both of them haha

[shermanvermin76]

@QuassDebonair (and jlward), G1 Megatron and G1 Galvatron are the same *identity*; they can't *co-exist*.

[danceingcrayon]

cyclones sounds like an old man

[stewnta]

Maaaann!! He just flew thru Unicrons eye as if he were the same size as the hole. This series would've been alot better had the artist paid more attention to the scale of things in the transformers universe. Jeez!!!

[miguelandoniez]

galvatron is not me ! i mean i am not myselff  hahahahha this is awesome

[SNIPERluvsKISS]

ZOMGZ!!! BEE'S BACK!!!! OMGZOMGZ!

[warman48]

Warpath can't fly he's an outcast :(

[SirKobrias]

starscream rules and schools all of the fools out of their jewels.

[GlasgowPhilosipher]

3:48 background fail

[b2nomad]

starsreams a bitch

[crshh]

Who was the voice of Unicron in this episode?

[SirKobrias]

@crshh your mom

[Bhakthi7]

LOL starscream is one of my favs from descepticons!

[YouGotPwnedLMAO]

the decepticons dont even hear scrouge and starscream talk

[BigPapiChulo]

I love how casually Bumblebee comments, "Ah, look- the brain vault door is open."

Wouldn't that be some cause of concern at least? Gotta love those laid-back Autobots.

[XTRABIG]

@BigPapiChulo

lol

[coker10]

*Standing ovation* Spike & Bumblebee together again, backstabbing Screamer and...Rodimus..why do I get irrated every time I see him this --well any--episode

[shermanvermin76]

@coker10 *Everyone* gets irate (or irritated, whatever word you were using) when they see Rodimus Prime in a season 3 episode.

[lifevest1]

lol at 7:50

[xxKrazy2nRxx]

I like this season but I think that the first had so much more potential. As well as the movie.The bad thing is that they killed of the main characters in the movie & without them it just isnt the same thing.These episodes have like no connection 2 the fans, they almost have no soul in them, you know what I mean, the others u automatically liked but these ones you don't. Oh well nothing that could be done unless someone creates a time machine and goes back and kills the person who did d switch.

[ShadowSerenityPrime]

@xxKrazy2nRxx yes! well do it cleanly like ninjas lol B)

[QuassDebonair]

@xxKrazy2nRxx War for cybertron looked like it might undo all the wrongs done to TF by the movie and season 3..but sadly they pertain those gay live action film forms in the tv show continuation so blah

[afish88]

6:38 bumblebee's tires are huge!! lol

[tomwalker389]

"Galvatron needs to know aout this..."

Couldn't he have just radioed?

[crj2727]

It is such a bummer to go from Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron in the movie to this sissy voice. It is tough to listen to all the voices after how good they were in the movie. Oh well, still the best anyways.

[angelbattler]

@frenzyXprime NIMOY

[frenzyXprime]

@angelbattler Wow how did I make that mistake, I know his name but how did I do that? Thanks for telling me Im going to change that now.

[angelbattler]

@frenzyXprime No problem, bro ^^

[thisusernamesucks234]

welles died near***

[thisusernamesucks234]

i know orson welles near the movie so who is unicrons voice in this? he sounds a LOT like omega supreme

[xChromia]

how can anyone get over Scourge's pretty 'n pink fingernails? XD

[loopyloo413]

@xChromia MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i will paint them purple!

[00abzz00hugzz00]

B-B-B-Bumblebee

Your finally back!!!!

I missed you :D xxx

[smokeydirtcat13]

YYYAAAAAYYYYYYY GO BUMBLEBEE!!!

[AgaMbadi]

Starscream reactivated Unicron by soldering two wires together???!!! Damn, he's good!

[loopyloo413]

@AgaMbadi WTF HE ISNT STARSCREAM! HE IS A GOLDEN SPANNER ON LEGS XD

[yoshimickster]

@AgaMbadi See that's why they crowned him after Megatron's "accident". Also because his plans actually WORK most of the time. Need I remind anyone of the giant purple griffin? HAIL STARSCREAM-THE TRUE LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS!

[transformfan2713]

Thanks Zormo!

[TFormerGuy]

Yay bumblebees back :D

[transformfan2713]

I don't think it's Orson Welles because he died shortly after the Movie was finished.

[Zormo777]

Here, Unicron is voiced by the guy who did Cyclonus.

[Robi2009]

Bumblebee's back! Yeay!

[odiccc]

cyclonus voice is the man

[dt4evar]

Screamer XD i love u!!!!! *fangirl giggles*

i dont care if i love a robot!!!

[00abzz00hugzz00]

Don't worry, I'm the same with Bumblebee :)

[dt4evar]

lol kl u understand!! at last some1 who does!!! YAY XD

[Starscream3352]

I LIVE!

[edmundotejada82]

i missed bumble bee

[Steshette]

"Destroy him! He's lost his mind!" You're one to talk, Galvatron.

[dt4evar]

yeah lol

[hotrobert1981]

I felt bad for Metroplex. That was Way Deviouser than Any of Megatron Ploys. Starscream Rulez.

[Zormo777]

Starscream arguing with Scourge was like Gollum and Smeagol.

Who voiced Unicron here? Surely not Orson Welles.

[YUCKSTERTHUNDER]

He kinda sounds the same as Cyclonus .

[mac1701e]

mmmmmmmmm brains

[superprimezing3]

sometime after 7:00 he becomes king kong

[Alevamltd]

YEAH, UNICRON CANNOT DIE!!!

[pyrofox13125]

oh how I've missed you,screamer :D

[VaticaZero]

powerglide "AAAH! He shot me!"

[shermanvermin76]

@VaticaZero Do you already know that Metroplex would never deliberately shoot an *Autobot*? He *accidentally* shot Powerglide.

[shermanvermin76]

@VaticaZero Metroplex only shot Powerglide (like I said, *accidentally*) because Starscream (and even Scourge) went inside him and removed his eyes, making him go insane and in agony.

[TheWuCepticon3]

The episodes before the movie, were waaaaay better than these. Optimus Prime eats Rodipuss Prime alive. And Megatron >>>>>> Galvatron.

[shermanvermin76]

@TheWuCepticon3 Optimus Prime does come back by the end of season 3 and before the three part episode of season 4 (the last episode in the States) Headmasters The Rebirth.

[shermanvermin76]

@TheWuCepticon3 Optimus Prime does come back by the end of season 3 and before the three part episode of season 4 (the last episode in the States) Headmasters The Rebirth.

[ajones35]

But to have starscream as a ghost is to imply that transformers have a soul. having emotions is one thing having a soul is another

[Bremen25]

Starscream's Spark is immortal.

[CrimsomS]

They actually have souls (Later continuity calls them Sparks), in the episode "Sea Change" Autobot Seaspray outright confirms it, and apparently dates some sort of Space-Elf-Mermaid....I kid you not!

On a side note 8:11 Warpath finally reveals his feelings towards Poweglide. >.>

[bffsandreleixe]

LOL starscream is funny in this episode!

[ajones35]

Ill take the quarter, good enough for one video game :)

[RantingPriest]

Right. In 'starscream's ghost' everybody knew it was Starscream as soon as he started talking, but in this episode nobody recognizes his voice?

[Bremen25]

I think Starscream's voice is inside Scourge's head.

[dleotightend98]

finally i was getting pissed off that metroplex was unbeatable, best way to attack him is from the inside

[lifevest1]

wait! Powerglide didnt die? Cause when the autobot fleet was getting owned it showed him getting owned.

[barbaro267]

yeah i noticed that too! i was so excited when i saw him again later...he's not dead!! i just hope skyfire made it out alive too...

[josher2021]

I liked galvatrons voice when lenored nimoy voiced him

[goodolboy76]

What's up with Kup talking down to Spike and the other Autobots?

[tomkoolman]

he is a traitor, give him no quarter lol

[Jagticon]

Wow. In the entire season. Nobody could beat Metroplex. Not a decepticon army not even Tripticon. But a sneaky sabotage action by a single decepticon and a ghost did the job. Well done.lol

[UnicronTGOC]

uuUUUHHHHhhhh

Unicron will AWAKEINNNNNNNN!!!!!!

[swedichboy1000]

ok but who IS the most loyal then eh?

(somebody gave me a bad comment for a good question bah!)

[MrPenstick]

Who does unicron's voice in this episode since orson welles died?

[avak124]

poor scorge

[BigEvilLadia23]

hey u have anyone episode with the trainbots

[barbaro267]

hey powerglide's alive again! yay! lol!

wow i hate seeing Metroplex like that...he looked like he was in so much pain...it hurts to see him like that!

[TruthThanks]

one of my favourite epsidoes

[StarFighters76]

AerialBots wait for, oh nevermind!

[shermanvermin76]

@StarFighters76 Too bad Air Raid and Fireflight aren't in this episode (too bad Silverbolt, the Aerialbot commander, is even the only one who talks in this episode) [though the highlight not all five are featured is they don't combine to form *Superion*].

[synapsefiero]

Freddie1980 Shockwave didn't die..I cant find any info on that deleted scene. Only 5 deleted scenes are known. I could be wrong!

[keosskillz]

its true, its a deleted scene where unicron crushes the tower with Shockwave inside and he suddenly died

[domonhearts]

lol dont need the scene you see shockwave yelling then unicron bitchslaping the planet lol not scene needed to know he died XD

[synapsefiero]

Whats your source Keo? Wiki?

[keosskillz]

nope i got it off the 20th anniversary Transformers the movie DVD and on the commentary one of the people said it during that scene

[synapsefiero]

Cool, i have the 20th Anniv Movie. Which dvd is it on?

[keosskillz]

listen to the commentary version and its on the first dvd if im not mistaken with a couple of hardcore transformers fans voicing it who knows about anything about the TF universe

[shermanvermin76]

Some websites say 'he was PRESUMED dead'.

[StarFighters76]

Deleted scenes, from the 1986 movie? I am very curious as to where I could find these scenes. would love to see what was cut.
