oh my god, I remember watching this whole series during the late 1990's, the nostalgia is amazing. Comparing this to todays cartoons, this easily wins.
@cybertronus its called "pencil #2". its been around for a long time; they use it for more than drawing. they have been used for tests, home work and writing. its really coool!
@cybertronus wow . yeah it was all hand drawn pencil and ink.. Yeah back in these days it was done the old fashion way bloods sweat and papercuts. Pretty much all of it was until early 2000's. 3D graphics wasn't invented yet ..
Oh man oh man, what memories. I used to watch this every Saturday morning in England on a show called 'Fun Factory'. Even back then as a kid, I acknowledged the fact that I was being treated to a historic show. They don't make anything even close to this anymore. I remember i used to love all the different backround music that went with the different scenes. Anyone remember Spike and Sparkplug witwicki? LOL. Still can't believe they replaced this show with shitty ass G.I Joe to this day
what those stupid moviemakers dont understand we aint want to see 80 % of the movie about humans and 20 % robots screenplay. Wake up stupid directors > <
Can anyone tell me what season or what transformers im thinking of that i used to watch as a kid was definatly cartoon but alot better i remember megatron killed himself and helped optimus in one episode i watched it was towards the end and they were fighting some huge thing
ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE in the beginning its weird that all their robot mods are earth vehicles but they haven't been their yet. wtf prime still looks like a truck
starscream looks like an f15 but transforms into a weird ship thing?!!??
so when they transform into a truck, why does the truck have all the little details of a real truck? i mean, there are no trucks in their world, so what's the point of having such a 'disguise'?
when i saw preview for darkside of the moon i saw the orange colored head of a transformer and i assumed....."unicron..." i was dissapooint..... ii mean if the 3rd movie was about unicron coming to eat earth it would have redeemed the other 2 movies
That's what I like to see--Soundwave kicking butt and talking through the whole episode, Clearly the major Decepticon character in this episode. As it should be now and forever!
My favorite episode of the G1 series was when spike tried to teach Optimus prime how to Play Basketball and then later on you can see him playing with the ball around teletran-1
@TheAnimeCrush I am not so much of a fanboy that I can't point out the lack of logic in this show. The show's producers were probably worried that the characters would not be recognizable to 6 year olds if they looked different on Cybertron, so they kept the robot forms looking the same as they do on Earth.
Remeber, this show is just a half hour toy commercial.
Okay, what is up with this site? Every time I try to view the part of this episode which shows how the Autobots and Decepticons came to Earth, I keep getting blocked. What, is that forbidden footage?
1984-1987 Transformers G1 is the best cartoon series for kids and the toys are awesome too and very worth collecting. I would have rather seen 'Soundwave' as a boombox in the Transformers 2 movie.
i wish they would remake all of those.. with a decent character design .. not like the live action.. actually the design from the robots in that War for Cybertron game werent too bad
War for cybertron really makes you want to go back and find these episodes,mostly because you can't remember what happened since it's been so long since you watched it:PI was like 5 when this show would come on in the morning. Only ever good TF after this was Armada.
im watchin this cuz the Transformes Animated version came to an end. *sniff sniff* Prowl is no longer in it.....I was heartbroken (like fan heartbroken) how could they take out Prowl?
You gotta Love Transformers, even though I used to remember always asking how come the Autobots fly at the start behind the mountain in the intro after the decepticons but never flew again afterwards...lol
Hasbro are Geniuses, to think the toys came out before the cartoon...!!! The amount of time and design, characters, hope Gobots got some royalities...lol
... so if this show and all others like it were promoted on indie networks via syndication, why in the 90's were only 60's and 70's cartoons promoted that appeared on major networks? That kinda sounds sellout to me. Would that have happened had Kurt Cobain lived?
And it's especially strange since they have tires in their robot modes here despite the fact that they are all hovercraft vehicles. Granted, this is all due to production costs. It would've required a lot more time to design and animate different robot modes for all the characters for just a single episode.
Yeah, if they took the time to change their robot mode as well they would of been really on point, although we might not of known who was who. But I'm assuming most of us are watching this now as an older and more observant crowd then we was back then and even today's films have bloopers...lol
I might have an English exam tomorrow, but I couldn't care less. I'm just gonna watch my beloved Transformers and giggle happily like the fan girl that I am!
