  • I was hoping I'd hear that theme:

    "YOU GOT THE TOUCH!

    YOU GOT THE POWER~ YEAH!"

  • I admit that I teared up when The Touch started playing and Optimus uttered those classic words "Light our darkest hour."

  • I thought Alpha Trion merged with Vector Sigma in the episode that the Aerialbots and Stunticons were created.

  • it would be funny optimus uses the matrix and then next ep unicrons back hot rod what do we do optimus says im not the leader kup says this reminds me of right now and how screwed we are and wreck gar is all like were dead jim and the humans hyperventalate to death trollololololol

  • God, this was such a swag episode

  • YAY PRIMES BACK! I missed those days when he said TRANSFORM... AND ROLL OUT!!!!

  • That ending was cheezier than Scooby Doo when the gang didn't have enough evidence & just happened to find the costume in the accused closet. But You never saw them find it !!!! CHEAP !!!

  • I wish they would have brought back the autobots they killed in the movie.

  • @1776rifleman : Except for Prowl and Ratchet. Those two had the personality of a cardboard turd. Just like that jackass Rodimus Prime.

  • @1776rifleman So do I.

  • Wow on the last minute b4 it end, optimus was back to his original color but right when he gave the matrix back his color change back to silver, that's hella crazy!!!

  • Is this the cartoon or a bonus to the movie?

  • @kokorolex This is a two part episode that is part of the third and final season of the American Transformers cartoon.

  • This is the series finale as far I'm concerned. Come on, Optimus Prime is back, Galvatron shake his hands with Optimus to "end" the war and The Touch by Stan Bush is heard.

  • Uptimus looked like Ultra magnus without the armor!!!

  • YAY THE TOUCH IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Optimus is like a fresh drawn comic character here

  • optimus:now light our darkest hour... AGAIN

  • My ears orgasm every time I hear Prime's song...

  • I like Transformers, new or old, I don't mind. The only mistake I spot is that they forgot the voice actor of Bumblebee in TFP...

  • I have never known that optimus would be alive again now my thoughts are cleared

  • USA needs Optimus to light our darkest hour.

  • Whats is this ?

    Stan bush !!!

  • best episode ever.

  • Who sang that song at the end when Optimus opened his chest and let the Matrix wisdom out to cure the hate plague?

  • @MightyDancer80 Stan Bush.

  • @MightyDancer80 That is "The Touch" sung by "Stan Bush". That very same song was used in the 1986 Transformers movie before this episode aired.

  • i think the ark crashed in the 1959's or 60's cause it the third movie it said the space race was after it crashed

  • Comment removed

  • @Legodudeman9677 maybe in the live action movie, in G1 the ark crashed on earth during prehistoric times, its covered in the first episode and several times during beast wars

  • The whole "speaking with the old leaders and predecessors by going further back in time" thing reminds me a lot about Avatar: The Last Airbender... when Aang goes all the way back and speaks with Yang Chen. ATLA, Y U copied Transformers?!

  • Dear god, people should grow up and stop complaining about the movies. It's keeping this amazing fanchise alive, enjoy it for what it's worth (Which is more than you give it credit for)

  • 8:08

    "What? What is this?!"

    That, Galvatron is Stan-fucking-Bush! And he's got the The Touch bitches

  • 9:09 My Favorite Transformers Scene ever

  • Second time this song has fucked up Galvatron.

  • Plus, it's pretty hard to want to kill the person next to you when "The Touch" is playing!

  • Geez, how many "darkest moments" can a race of space robots have?

  • airborne virus spores from a sun that went nova make all beings in the universe go crazy through infecting them by touch, even though some are made of metal and some of flesh. Yet a metal alloy made to shield against radiation from the sun is capable of blocking the radiation (virusses?) completely. and wisdom from the past cures the disease instantly. Man I love how they just completely don't give a crap about the science and just go with whatever they feel like to tell their epic story.

  • @sharkjack The ending is a metaphor for understanding between different races and creeds...The spores breed hate, war and mistrust. The Matirx provides knowledge, understanding and tolerance. A good model for humanity to follow. Fight hate with knowledge...

  • @sharkjack The ending is a metaphor for understanding between different races and creeds...The spores breed hate, war and mistrust. The Matirx provides knowledge, understanding and tolerance. A good model for humanity to follow. Fight hate with knowledge...

    As for the spores being blocked by some metal alloy? Well, do you suspend your disbelief when you watch a bunch of transforming robots from another planet, an unorganic planet at that?

  • @Hawkgold I know its a metaphor and its a great one. My suspense of disbelief isn't so thin that I can't handle the spores also being virusses yet being radiation. (especially in a show like transformers) The thing was that this was made in a time where shows would just throw around all these sciency terms without any care in the world for what they meant. Nowadays shows tend not to do that as much trying to stay 'realistic'. I wasn't trying to be negative. Its just something I noticed.

  • Optimus voice is the only one that didn't change from the movie.

  • @TheRampAgent

    As Adam West IS Batman..

    Lynda Carter IS Wonder Woman...

    Christopher Reeve IS Superman...

    Peter Cullen IS OPTIMUS PRIME.

    Autobots...transform...and ROLL OUT!!!

  • I think Optimus Primes Spark is Fused With The Matrix Of Leadership

  • the touch from the transformers the movie returns

  • I have loved the ending of this episode for years when Galvatron shook Prime's hand. I always thought it was the perfect ending.

  • I love u OPTIMUS! Forever! <3

  • I wonder what is the names of the other 2 autobot leaders

  • 1:37 infected Tf grabs skylynx and he remains uninfected

  • WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO GALVATRON'S VOICE!?

  • anyone notice that the matrix has lit two of their darkest hours??

  • @starraptor9 its the touch by stan bush

  • what was the name of the song at 8:20

  • @starraptor9 THE TOUCH

  • @SergeySparrow1 thanks

  • "Give me back that fuckin' Matrix immediately. You've run this organization into the fuckin' ground Hot Rod."

    "I tried to do my best."

    "If you had let Ultra Magnus have the Matrix like I had intended we wouldn't be in this mess. Now would we?"

    "No we wouldn't Optimus, sir."

    The best you could do was bring me back to life to fix your problems! That's probably the best move as leader you've ever made!"

    "I'm sorry I'm not the leader you were."

    Oops, sorry, wrong video!

  • @ambygirl1008 Now you and Wheelie will stay here and guard the base

  • @ambygirl1008 ahahahah and thats who you'll be from now on cup...shit piece !

  • @ambygirl1008 Optimus Prime was the one who chose Hot Rod. "Arise, Rodimus Prime" were the words of Optimus Prime. Besides, Ultra Magnus LOST the matrix to Galvatron (and got blown to pieces for his efforts). Hot Rod's befriending Wreck-Gar and the Junkions led to the Junkions repairing Ultra Magnus, anyway.

  • YOU GOT THE TOUCH!! YOU GOT THE POWAH! YEAH!

    FUCK YEAH 80s!

  • So does this mean Optimus is the leader again?

  • @dudeofwar3 YES...Optimus Prime is BACK, my friend! And all is WELL with the universe.

    Autobots...transform...and ROLL OUT!

  • @SnoopDog378 i agree so mutch

  • Ironic that I was compelled to watch this episode over again...what with the claim that tomorrow is the end of the world and such.

  • No handshake for those racist.

  • optimus prime and megatron they actually shook hands .wow I must be dreaming

  • 8 people don't have THE TOUCH...

    "Autobots...transform...and ROLL OUT!"

    and all is well with the universe.Optimus Prime is BACK!

    

  • I always did consider this episode the end of the cartoon. I never was satisfied with "The Rebirth" and this ending makes more sense to me. Optimus Prime is back alive again, he's in command of the Autobots again, the war could be technically over because of what Galvatron said, really all is said and done (lol touch reference). In my opinion, a great end to a great series. Go TRANSFORMERS!

  • 9:37

    what, did someone forget that the whole silver Optimus part of the show was over?

  • isnt alfatron the one on the new movie of transformers?????

  • "After what I thought of the Autobots, I'm sorry."

    "Go fuck yourself! You almost got the entire universe killed!"

  • I was 9 years old in 1986 & as 1 of the MANY kids who cried buckets when 0ptimus died, I can tell you that I screamed the loudest YEAH I could. The tears of sadness/bitterness from the film were now met by tears of joy. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that 0ptimus coming back was a piece put back in our hearts.

  • @0ING0B0ING0 Too bad Japan didn't have any respect for him and killed him AGAIN 3 episodes later.

  • You got the touch. You got the powah!!!

  • I wonder if it was intentional that Prime's VA (Peter Cullen) voiced the ancient Autobot skull guy too.

  • This makes no sense. If Optimus Prime can use the matrix to find the cure, why couldn't Rodimus Prime (before he got infected) do the same? Or why couldn't the matrix have cured him, after he got infected?

  • @MCWAY1 Rodimus had to have near-death experiences to access the Matrix's wisdom. I'm guessing that since Optimus experienced death he could access it in a way no one else could. And simply having the Matrix won't let you access its' full power.

  • even if the matrix granted rodimus prime status (when optimus was dead) when prime came back the matrix automatically shut off and reserves itself for optimus. :)

  • I just realized that I actually love Optimus Prime as if he is a cherished family member.

  • I never noticed, but after the Matrix has been removed, Rodimus stays Rodimus, his character model at the end had the facial lines

  • @noneedtobeshoutful dude he's hot rod

  • @focusandcreate In the close up they do right at the end, it's the Rodimus character model. The Hot Rod one has less lines. I believe they're using the right CM leading up to that point. Also his scale is WAYY off (But that's not really a big problem for G1)

  • So even at a disadvantage(without the matrix) Optimus is able to kick Hotrod's ass. Guess even the matrix couldn't make Hotrod anything more than a second rate cry baby.

  • @returnofplex that's a little harsh... filling optimu prime's shoes is not even a doable task. he did the best he could.

  • this finale was awesome. when it got yanked for another season i, like all of you, was sooo pissed. was so glad to see prime return and lead the autobots. great series finale. show coulda ran at least 2 more seasons. why all the hate on rodimus prime? i admit he's no where near the leader prime was but i think he was decent.

  • The matrix is empty. The wise will fill it again.

    That eliminates Hot Rod automatically.

  • probably one of the best episodes, but those guys got off with a "sorry". Prime should stepped on them!!

  • @ 1:36 galvatron grabs sky lynx but he doesn't turn red.

  • its up to all of us to fill it again

  • what happened to the kid in the movie i think his name was daniel? where did he go?

  • OPTIMUS PRIME IS THE TRUE LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS EVEN HE HASNT THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP YET

  • YOU GOT THE TOUCH!

  • @crazywelshkid YOU GOT THE POWWWEEER

  • Lol, I love transformers, but the continuity errors are funny. at 1:35 Optimus and Sky Lynx drive away(optimus is silver) it then cuts to the autobot base while the quintessons apply the metal to Optimus, hehe...

  • HOW MANY WANTED TO TELL THAT BITCH KEEP YOUR YOUR MOUTH CLOSED

  • rodimus was awesome while he lasted

  • optimus prime is the only leader that the autobots will ever need, there is no one that can replace him, not rodimus( hot rod) prime, or ultra magnus,they are not in his league.

  • Yes, Dr...you may be sorry, but its time to pay for your crimes against humanity and the UNIVERSE

  • this is why optimus is the prime...i wish he kick that punk rodimus ass more and complete put him to sleep for the rest of the millenium like optimus prime did.prime is the true leader of all robots in the galaxy...

  • 7 decepticons disliked this video

  • @0:22 i was like wtf how retarded was that girl

    who in their right would say that

  • at 2:48 i was like, what????

  • Rawwww

  • Even at 35 years old, I still find this is just good entertainment. I wish the live action movies would have been half this good. They only thing Bay got right was peter Cullen to do Optimus' voice.

  • @Peacefrog35

    You got that right. Bay totally missed the mark with Transformer fans.

  • old cartoons r better then todays cartoons thumms up if u a agree

  • @SnoopDog378 for real

  • @MrBrandonStar yea n todays cartoons r just about bullshit

  • @SnoopDog378 if by better you mean infinitely cheesier, yeah, sure

  • @SnoopDog378 G1 for the WIN.

  • Nice to see Optimus not dying for once ... after you've got the touch is played :-p

  • Man I wish Optimus would have finished Rodimus for good here. Obnoxious little punk!

  • Stan Bush light our darkest hour!

  • Optimus FTW

  • huuu what is this 8:10 LOL.

  • I had almost forgotten about the moment at 9:18 until a amv a few years ago.

    The least Galvatron could do is apologize to Optimus for killing him when he was Megatron.

    "We call a truce for today, Optimus...and, sorry about killing you and scarring the psyche of impressionable children."

    "Ah, it's ok, Me-I mean, Galvatron. Now, let's say we go out for some Energon-flavored ice cream?"

    "everyone laughs, in typical 'oh, well' 80's fashion"

  • Is it just me, or was the ending of this old, animated children's show from the 80's, about 100 times more epic than any of the Michael Bay films? Even the last scene, with them "rolling out" was shot at a great angle.

    "You got the touch!" :)

  • wait so they had 2 darkest hours lol

  • @unsm1000

    XD

  • apparently the touch is the cure

  • @wolfkniteX Maybe a great soundtrack is the cure? ;)

  • When I was a child, this episode gave me the creeps.

    You couldn't defeat this plague with weapons and it could effected everyone next to you. So how to get rid of it?

    It was thrilling and also what made this old transformers so special.

    AWESOME story plots.

  • @inkognitolord saaame!!

  • @inkognitolord

    6:04 Does the Matrix have the spirit of each of it's bearers?

    Rodimus

    Alpha Trion

    Who was the bot at 6:30 and 7:04?

  • @gundamWWW

    If I'm not wrong, Alpha Trion was the former Autobot leader in season 1 who stayed in Cypertron.

    I do not know who this guy from 07:04 is. He is an unknown and its not even sure if he was an Autobot-leader.

  • @inkognitolord

    The Transformers go like this.

    Predacons and Maximals

    Millions of years prior

    Autobots and Decepticons

    Millions of years prior to that

    That framething at 7:08 must be a computer program maybe linux, lol.

    Or Windows 95.

  • @gundamWWW actually the Maximals/Predacons was only hundreds of years prior, remember they live a long time, for example shockwave being alive when they crash on earth and sleep till the 80's

  • @PrimalWolf2006

    Your probably right.

    The Maximals and Predacons lived alongside monkeys, and homosapiens.

    So they probably lived 10,000 years ago.

    I think the Ark and Nemsis crashed much earlier.

    Although the Predacons and Maximals are the decedents of the Autobots and Decepticons.

  • @inkognitolord We actually saw the wire-frame guy once before in "Five Faces of Darkness" as a Quintesson-robot. It's possible he's a Quintesson who helped the Ancient Transformers.

  • notice that optimus goes from normal colour to silver??

  • @brydogary Noob. It's a protector for the red bots...

  • @Safegold008 no idiot when everyones cured hes not wearing the protective coat but inbetween shots of optimus talking to hotrod he switches back to having it on to then being normal colour again

  • :O Optimus Enters the MATRIX its official Hes BAMF

  • My question is, Optimus took the matrix from Rodimus Prime. So shouldn't he have turned back into Hotrod.? Or does it have to voluntarily give it up.?

  • @mynyun I don't know, but Rodimus or Hotrod, by any other name, is STILL a nimrod! lol

  • @mynyun Good question, especially since it's happened in another episode when Rodimus gave up the Matrix, and reverted into Hot Rod. However, remember after Optimus Prime and Megatron had their epic battle, and Optimus was on his deathbed about to die? He tried to give the Matrix to Ultra Magnus (tried, because it dropped out of his hands and Hot Rod caught it). From the moment the Matrix left Optimus' hands, shouldn't he have reverted into Orion Pax? Continued....

  • Comment removed

  • @mynyun part 2: Unless he could not revert due to their star ship's repairing and adapting him (along with the other transformers) into the form of an earth machine (First episode after they crash-landed into earth). Personally I think the writers didn't really look into such details too much since to them it was just a pay-check! Who knew Transformers would have become so popular that it retains a following generations later!

  • @Richard1279 Indeed, Transformers has become so popular that there have been many spin offs. But still one would have thought they'd think ahead to all this. And if what you said about Optimus is true (ship repairing him) then wouldn't it also apply to Hot Rod/imus.? Though we've not SEEN him get repaired I'm sure he has to have been.

  • @mynyun I'm not sure if it would apply to Hot Rod because he was originally built AS Hot Rod and later upgraded to Rodimus by the Matrix. As opposed to Optimus who got rebuilt into a truck AFTER being upgraded into a prime. Who knows, maybe in Optimus's case, what he lost was internal (like strength, endurance, wisdom...all those perks the Matrix grants), since the external shell was no longer the doing of the matrix. Again, I can only guess, since this lack of logic confuses me too! :-)

  • @Richard1279 Lol, playing devil's advocate to myself: if THAT were true, if optimus had lost the inner qualities, then HOW was he more than a match against Rodimus? Which comes back to my original post 7 months ago: Optimus Prime is just THAT good of a leader! lol, no logic there, but seems to be the truth anyway ;-)

  • Ok I have one question what happened to optimus's new paint job. He was silver and then classic colors?

  • I think Abe Lincoln needs to regain the Presedential matrix of leadership. Like Optimus, Abe Lincoln was a true leader. This hate plaugue is like the swine flu.

    Only Optimus Lincoln can find a way to cure the entire world from the plague, end the recession, and the oil spill.

    Now light our darkest hrs Optimus Lincoln.

  • This proves that the only way to make bayformers enjoyable is to have Stan Bush make the soundtrack. It still wouldn't be as good as the originals though ;)

  • You wanna race? I'll give ya a race!!!!

  • I wish that the moment when Prime was revived using the Matrix in the second movie was as epic as this moment that Prime uses the Matrix. With the song You got the touch. I swear, if i heard that song during the play, I cried manly tears.

  • so...what happens after this?? o.o!

  • feels sort of stupid that they kill optimus in the movie if he just comes back in an episode. they may as well have not killed him atol. still cool to see him again.

  • I LOVE TRANSFORMERS

  • ah it's good to hear prime say "AUTOBOT'S, TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT" again

  • Optimus Prime forever!!

  • at the end when optimus beats hot rods ass it reminds me of tyson in his prime knocking his opponets out with one punch even with the power of the matrix hot rod still gets his block knocked off by the true leader the king the god optimus fucking prime who got the touch now hot rod u bitch

  • So in the end....optimus(happy dance that he comes back) kills the matrix

  • optimus will be the bearer of the matix once again thank god.

  • The Hate Plague was a bigger threat than Unicron!

    Awesome!

  • sooooo is...every one an allience to the autobots now??

  • Hmm why didn't Rodimus turn back into Hot Rod when Optimus took the matrix out? Unless it's a permanent physical change.

  • WHITE prime??!!!??!!! O_O

  • I thought it was amazing when they played The Touch.

  • Michael Bay can go fuck himself, THIS IS TRANSFORMERS.

  • Did Optimus open the Matrix inside Metroplex?

    If so, then why did the Autobots transform and roll out of there at the end, leaving the humans behind?

  • That knockout punch Prime gave Rodimus has been waiting since 1986.

  • Wow, is this an old VHS taping from 1987?!

    Anyway, great episode. Jessica Morgan is severely underrated.

  • when optimus was holding the matrix he was in his usual red and blue skin/body but in the next scene he was metalic

  • This is awesome!!! They should have made this into a sequel to the film in 86.

  • they did somethin similar on roft but only whit sam

  • SUPERB Episode...love this and special thanks for uploading this...

  • Power ballads solve everything XD

  • at 1:19 did galvatron say: die you worthless piece of shit?

    (sry for my bad english)

  • He said, "worthless piece of SLAG!" lol I think the movie was the only part of the old show that had any filth words.

  • Lol, no, he said worthless piece of slag

  • lol

  • I thought it was pretty awsome that they used The Touch, the only time I heard it was in the movie so it was awsome to hear it somewhere else.

  • Optimus Prime the true leader rodimus did an okay job, the orginal transformes is the bomb they need to put it back, this new crap stinks, Galvatron is ossom, the should have upgraded Prime but with his ressurection he is good as new i guess when he was Orion pax he got a makeover it was Megatron turn, shoot when is Starscream, they need him back as irrating as he was he always challenged megatron or Galvatron

  • @Optimus2011Prime

    Star Scream and Cobra Commander would be best mates, eh?

  • its funny how they messed up optimus prime's color. it went back to his original color to white again. 9:22 to 9:32
