  • Har har har, were the writers at Japan intentional in giving an really awful portrayal of Rodimus Prime? Imagine George W. Bush resigning after the 911 attacks. And was Rodimus being a misogynist?

  • this series makes me feel like I'm in a dirty flea market.

  • Headmasters is much, much, much better than g1 season 4 which sucked by the way!

  • My god..... is this the legacy of Rodimus Convoy in Japan?!? Cybertron gets destroyed and he - just flies off into space to Primus knows where...

    shaking my head in disgust

  • And this proves that japanese always fuck up transformers. They made this stupid shit, messed up beast wars completely and all I need say is beast wars neo.

  • cybertron has blown up so fuck it....were all going away now....no arcee you cant come with us because you have to stay here and babysit the two kids!!

  • Between this and Fight or Flee, Rodimus Prime has a bizzarre apathy when it comes to the destruction of planets.

  • So glad I didn't have to watch this stupid series growing up, this episode would have turned me off to transformers.

  • What happened to Springer? And I thought Autobots couldn't fly????

  • @2010thekingofkings lol,Autobots can fly

  • the last thing i saw as far as g1 is that head masters stuff n the plasma energy and at the end of it cybertron was turned golden, but since i been on youtube watching these episodes that i never seen dubbed in chinesse even though its got subtitles what the hell is going with the story line, prime dies again for nothen,galvatron basically sacrafices hisself and rodimus is just go leave like " fuck it" i bet the quintasons were hapy cause they tried to blow up cybertron before.

  • American continuity: Optimus retrns, nebulos, hive, headmasters made to counter the hive, scorponok, plasma energy chamber, solar energy channeled to cybertron, golden age, GOOD END.

    Japanese Continuity: Optimus returns, Vec Sigma destabilizes, Optimus dies AGAIN, Hot Rod goes back to being Rodimus, Scorponok blows up Cybertron, Rodimus is like 'screw this', Fort Max becomes leader, and more deaths. *Argh*

    Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, Zone, Return, Op Combo, and so on. *ARGH!*

  • @Servonix I believe that rebirth was the official end to the war. but this continuity did had some intresting characters or gave other characters more screen time(ex: sixshot) But still, blowing up Cybertron, what the fuck!

  • Destruction of Cybertron was terrible scenario... Personally I think that's totally an epic fail from the Headmasters series and even for the entire G1 series :(

  • @Pikachubby Then you'd love my review of this series. I bring up way too many times how destroying Cybertron was the worst move they could have made.

  • After watching this, I would say Zarak is more evil and smarter than Galvatron could ever hope to be, because he made the choice to blow cybertron to hell just to prevent the Autobots getting the advantage over the cons

  • I have to say the sound effects in this version of Transformers sucks. More specificly the crappy noise they use for transformers foot steps. It makes it far more cartoony than the American version ever sounded.

  • i watched this like 14 years ago. At that time, i didn't understand why those classic transformers (both autobots and deceptcons) sucked that much. then i understand, for new dvds and toys selling, what cannot be done? They first let Optimal suicide, then Cybertron, then Ultra Magnus got killed, then Glatvatron..

  • Why does Rodimus all of a sudden just up and leave like that? He could've at least given the matrix to somebody. I'm sure people would love to see a red, white, and blue "Fortress Prime." (Or would the name "Maximus Prime" be better?)

  • @YungReg88 actually, Rodimus give the command of the last autobots, he leaves with kup and blurr, but he still the leader. he just give the temporary command to fortress

  • Rodimus: Cybertron's trashed but its cool cause I'm going off for a trip! Arcee you can stay because the Japanese love ya!

  • A total rubble. They made a mess of the storyline proper.

  • Trains that fly are rad.

  • Blowing up Cybertron sure puts a cramp in the Beast Wars story line. I guess that time travel stuff messed stuff up - or fixed it?

  • @BoydofZINJ In the Japanese storyline of Beast Wars, Cybertron was rebuilt

  • I wish this was in english ):

  • why? too lazy to read subtitles???

  • Nope. I'm use to hearing my favorite transformers in English. the sound effects and voices just sound weird

  • they all die in headmatsers anyway so what difference does it make if theyre talking in jap??

  • because I like english better than japanese.

  • Haha its ironic an evil SOB like Galvatron was willing to give his own life in an attempt to save Cybertron while the Autobots gave it up so easily. I guess there is no use in being the king if you haven't got anywhere to rule...

    P.S. Yes I know he survived anyway

  • wow. all possible signs left of the g1 trans have been destroyed. WTF???

  • I've been looking for the part after the movie in 1986 where Unicron gets destroyed. Can someone direct me to it please?

  • I never understood did why Rodimus felt he had to leave instead of sending Kup, Blurr and Arcee to search for a new planet

    so he could continue to lead the Autobots.

    Also, what happened to him since then, was never explained. Personally I thought that his departure was no big loss however.

  • Considering a loss of his homeplanet, Rodimus may have considered it to be the heaviest defeat and wanted to go where there wasnt such defeat for him.

  • Rodimus always had doubts about his own leadership, I guess being the autobot leader who let Cybertron be destroyed just made him finally give it all up. Besides Fortress Maximus is pure pwnage lol

  • Headmasters just seems to be rushed....

    *Cybertron Blows Up*

    Rodimus: Well, I guess we'll look for a new home. Fortress your leader, Arcee you stay since no toy for you has been produced, so we will give you the chance for one. Bye everyone!

  • shit i wish daniel was on the toilet when seibertron blew up. and wheelie

  • these japs they love death and blowing up things why blow up cybertron? all the ones who hyou wish would die don't die.

  • did the headmasters of the autobots switch heads

  • Yeah.

  • Oh yeh and they got rid of (and most likely killed) Kup, Blurr, rodimus priem and ultra magnus too!

  • i think Ultra Magnus gets killed, and kup blurr and rodimus go on some space mission, im not up to when they get back (assuming they do)

  • where did transformers such as springer come into g1?????

  • he was introduced in the movie with kup hot rod arcee magnus...

  • any episode in season 1 explaining their arrival? bacala the butcherer!

  • no they just jump from 1985 (season 2) up to 2005 (the movie) and here they are.

    most of the later appearing characters ins season 2, 3, 4 and the movie have no real background from where they have come

  • Fuck headmasters in bullshit! they jsut kill off everything from prime to cybertron!

  • @blitzwingfan thats because japanese animatirs are famous for killing off everbody. not a cruel racist joke, but a proven fact. Afterall alot of great anime shows and movies had to important characters and locations destroyed.

  • This is why I don't watch anime. Yet another thing the Japanese have screwed up.

  • more bullshit whoever wrote this shoulsd be shot first prime then they wanna blow cybertron up great .

  • I love it when people talk about how Headmasters re-scripted everybody, but they fail to mention that in Transformers the Movie that most of the cast from the 1984-1985 season were killed off.

  • Some were shown as "killed" then they were shown again, in season three after the movie. Dirge is one of them. So, the American version has plot holes as well.

  • Dirge wasnt actually shown dying, he just gets smashed by unicron with the other rocket head jets, what always amazed me is where alot of the season 2 autobots went like tracks n smokescreen... just disapeared

  • Too many unexplained scenes in the movie.

    Like Brawn getting shot once in the shoulder.

    That wouldn't have killed him.

    I need to start my fan fiction rewrite of the movie.

  • rodimus is on planet micro , youll should see zone and victory and other transformers japanese manga when prime does come back star concoy and rodimus is his targetmaster

  • Galvaturon-sama! I like how that sounds

  • Fuckin Decepticons Headmasters

  • Damn I'm glad this season never left japan

  • Prime died for Cybertron, and yet it explodes anyway. It seemed like Prime died fro nothing. T T (SNIFF)

  • @mrsoptimusprime well,i see the irony within the first 10 episodes of prime's lifetime and i feel sorry for him

  • @MultiDrJekyll diddo, bro. Diddo. But I posted that three years ago, and I've been into Megatron since christmas 2007 XD. So now Megatron's my #1 character. But I can't blame you for feeling sorry for Prime. He's still awesome ;3.

  • @mrsoptimusprime yeah pretty much

  • @mrsoptimusprime Oh he comes back as Star Convoy in the toy line in 1991, don't worry. :)

  • @David315842 Oh don't worry about that, I'm over it. I'm one of Megatron's fan girls now XD ( since 2007 and not Galvatron, you understand XP). But Optimus Prime is still an awesome character. You can't deny his courageous spirit who lives inside the hero in all of us :3.

  • @mrsoptimusprime That's cool. I was just saying in the Japanese continuity, he does return after being killed off for the second time.

  • good thing Cyberton's destruction is not canon in G1!

    Rebirth was a great way to end G1 of cource if Ha$bro wasn't so cheap season 4 would have been longer and season 5 would have original episodes

  • upperchain i agree but not with Rebirth after the endless budget cuts writter David Wise made the best ending that was possible with the budget...blame Ha$bro

    but what do you mean ''doesn't fit''?

  • Well, because in the return of optimus prime Galvatron recognizes to have respect towards Prime so its kinda saying that peace finally made it so it fits better as an ending.

  • Galvatron:'there will be no war today'

    the respect of Galvatron ended the next day. ofcource i have a feeling there was always a little respect between Prime and Megatron/Galvatron.

    Rebirth is a better ending because.

    1) Cybertron has power again (the reason they came to Earth in ep 1) 2)Autobots control Cybertron 3) Decepticons are lost in space 4)Earth is save 5) new era of peace 6) open ending for a sequel. do you really believe Galvatron would just end the war out of respect? nah.

  • Well, you know, supposeley, after rebirth the upcoming stuff was a quintesson invasion and all the primus-unicron-the last autobot thing, beacuse if you remember, in the 86 movie unicron's origin was never explained and alike. But I agree the japanse onesw specially Masterfoce turned this into a full Mecha Anime

  • Get over it people! The Japanese don't like recurring characters that's why they got rid of Rodimus and Optimus so early. Look at how their Sentai Ranger shows change annually. Still, I do prefer the American Transformers. Thanks to Takara for the invention of Transformers, though.

  • Point taken. I think the best approach to take with the earlier Japanese TF shows is to consider them as separate universes: Headmasters through Zone; Beast Wars II & Neo; and Car Robots.

  • japanese rule made sense than this shit we watch now fagits

  • Bullshit... That story is a wack reason why the that series characters got phased out to focus on the new ones...

     Rodimus Prime - just leaves like that!?!? He pretty much quit. Optimus wouldn't have.

  • OMG, what kind of crap is this japanese Transformers headmasters? The story is a shame to bear the name and characters of Transformers! =(

  • that is the biggest load off bullshit ive ever seen, after everything, cybertron blows up and rodimus, kup and blur just fly away into the night!! What about the matrix?? Rodimus just took it with him, what a faggot!! And where is spike these days? I dont think thats the way optimus prime would have done things!! That episode is just a slap in the face to the whole transformers story!! I think they could have come up with a better way of starting the new era

  • i dont think they ever met again ... what a cop out.

  • Rodimus is the worst leader ever. And what happened to Ultra Magness and Springer? I like them better than the crappy headmasters.

  • Ultra Magnus did not WANT the job -- he was offered it in the movie but the matrix would not work for him. He wasn't the one who was chosen by cybertronian prophecy or by destiny. Springer only saw himself as a warrior, nothing more.

  • No, I actually meant what happened to them? Where do they go in this series?

  • They sort of get lost in the shuffle as the series goes on and new characters get introduced. The cast was just getting too big to keep track of the various individuals except for a core group; Rodimus, Kup, Blurr, and Arcee, to name a few. UM is a field commander and Springer is on the front lines to help build New Cybertron.

  • dutchboy

    Those japanese assholes can,t make the real headmasters episode.

  • The head master series sucked ass. The story may have been more mature, but it lacked the drive of the American series. I like the animation, hate the voices, and hate Wheelie. Rebirth was better, even though it was corny as hell, and ended to quickly.

  • Optimus' sacrifice was in vain. Rodimus should've given up his matrix and Daniel can breathe in space. Oh yeah, I like the way the Americans ended season 4 much better. Golden Era>Destruction of old era.

  • well at least theres still a chunk of it left

  • headmasters is season 4 of G1

  • Arcee got screwed big time... She had to stay behind and babysit Wheelie and Daniel. :(

    From what I've seen so far, Transformers: Headmasters appears to be one of these ultra depressing spin-offs.

  • 1. Arcee becomes Binary-bonded to Daniel in HM.

    2. TF: HM was too damned short in America.

    3. There was a LOT more to TF: HM in Japan.

    4. The dubbed copy of HM exists in England.

    5. Leave it to Japan to keep good stuff to themselves -- they also held out a season or two of Sailor Moon that we Americans didn't get to see!

  • lol just one season of Sailor Moon. And at least we got the uncut versions of Seasons 1 + 2 a couple of years ago.

  • so not only does the headmasters series kill off/get rid of everyone of the last original transformers, but they blow up cybertron to boot, what a shit~tastic series >.>;;

  • but you didnt see victory they have will jack alive he not dead unlike here in america least japan gots a better story line than here and so do there beast wars shows headmasters , masterforce, victory rule also beast wars neo ,second kicks ass

  • Yeah ColeV, didn't see that one coming and that really sucks and doesn't seem right at all! Cybertron has been the home of the bots for so long, WTF?!

  • beast wars neo ,and beast wars second were made into anime not no bullshit 3d over here hell our story sucks except armada and g1 , they messed it up with rebirth and beast wars series and rid come on what bean smokin huh energon

  • beast wars was easily the greatest incarnation of transformers

  • cybertron and energon peaces of shit mad no since what so ever need to be acid to understand it wtf i like transformers headmasters , masterforce, victory , and atleast their beast wars is an cartoon than damn 3d shit with an wasp with anoying bitch baby crying voice wah waspinator armada was the only hope sorry people g1 rebirth made me wanna kill my self

  • what?

  • I gotta say this is crap.  These last japanese episodes are so fucking bad it's almost funny. Rodimus: "I'm leaving for no reason." *magically takes off into space*

  • Galvatron will return

  • Well, damn. This explains everything huh? Ultra Magnus- dead, Galvatron and Soundwave dead( ? ), boy I tell ya....I don't know how we would have absorbed all this if they had contiued TF here in the states.

  • a lot worse than rebirth.. which made more sense!

  • Nice explosion

  • parody of G1

  • its just a cartoon.. dun get so work out

  • lol shouldn't spikes son be wearing a space suit in space?

  • Hey, yeah I just noticed that! LOL!

  • Wow, and they didn't even try to save their home. Cybertron is home to both Autobots and Decepticons and it's discared like trash. I'm even more shocked that no one seems distrssed over it. This is pretty much a huge kick in the balls to G1 fans. Who wrote this shit?

  • dude that boy totally sounds like a girl

  • hahahaha probably he's breathing in helium in space.... lolol

  • this headmaster series is stupid you kill optimus prime again then you destroy cybertron plus kill off all the g1 robots the tight ones like rachet wieel jack iron hide....{the people who started this head master series shouldn't have.the transformers cartoon series should have ended after rebirth the movie because the golden age of cybertron was restored and the autobots had won the battle or war!!!

  • Bullshit!! first of all, they didnt make the series for the american public, it was for the japanese kids, Rebirth was a sin on God's eye, Nebulons were awful, at least here they kill people (well robots, but you get the idea)Decepticons have episodes were they WIN, a good thing and weelie doesnt rhyme anymore. a lot of imrpovement if you ask me.

  • U know nothing about TF, so shut the hell up racist idot! I love it when TF is done the Takara .

  • 1) a true tf doesnt tell others to STFU. 2) i agree, wtf where these japanese writers thinking?? putzs

  • Your right... there is no real storyline in the japanese transformers.I'm glad transformers ended with Rebirth.Noone likes headmaster if they are a true fan.

  • we need more transformers in english like ( THE RETURN OF OPTIMUS PRIME) BOUT THE COSMIC DUST.

  • It's unsettling how the transformers didn't even try to save Cybertron. Eventhough Galvatron was the invader of Cybertron, he had more passion than Rodimus who fled like a coward. Heroes sacrifice themselves for what they believe in.

  • He's not as stupid as everyone thinks. Even i could see they stood no chance. Cybertron would have been destroyed anyway, i think.

  • I know this sounds ethnocentric, but I really wish they'd made this story with American voices.

  • Gotta love those 'engrish' translations. Wonder why they got Weirdwolf's name right but only have 'Wipe' and 'Skull' for Mindwipe and Skullchuncher.

  • Easy: Weirdwolf, Skull and Wipe are their Japanese names and the subtitles stay faithful to them (they refer to the Transformers as Cybertrons and Destrons, for example.)

  • its about time soundwave/soundblaster leaves galvatron

  • Hmmm...in the US version a group of Autobots are fleeing, Decepticons follow them to planet nebulon (nebulos?) bringing a strange artifact with them. There they encounter the hive and the nebulons. Fighting not only decepticons but also nebulons and the hive proves to be a little too much for the Autobots. At the end it says...in the next episode: The Headmasters! or something. Anyone know which ep?

  • Season 4 of Transformers.

  • Thanks!

  • well, at least it IS a lot btter than Rebirth, besides, you cant blame the japanese for creating the nebulons, and for destroying Cybertron, Starscream was the first one to try that to begin with.

  • planet Cybertron is the heart of the transformers! and in cybertron it even transforms into primus! Its hard trying to keep up with them all.. coz on one show its blown up, the other its alright and then next thing you kno its transformed!

  • funny were Rodimus and Arcee lovers in this show.

  • My theory is that there never was a "New Cybertron", but it was the same planet, rebuilt.

    After all, there was a brief reference to some science expedition returning from Mars in one of the other two Japanese series (I forget if it was Masterforce or Victory), which, if you recall, was also destroyed in Headmasters. So apparently autobots helped to reconstruct both planets.

  • I was gonna start watching the Headmaster series, but after seeing this crap, I dunno if I want to anymore.

  • When did Rodimus start wearing eys-shadow??

  • they diodn't get full control the us releases their own version of the headmaster series that made sence *people woring as co pilots instead of minature robots* the series never took off but you can buy it from hmv

  • Man, the Japanese did a great job of screwing the whole storyline as soon as they got full control of the series. They killed Prime AGAIN, restored Rodimus, blew up Cybertron and then wrote out most of the old characters. Even if the "Rebirth" was kinda sucky, it at least painted a better future for the show had it continued, with a Golden Age of Cybertron and old characters still showing up. I'm glad the American continuity ignores the later Japanese shows.

  • me too

  • I agree although Rebirth was cheesy, at least it was a much happier end than blowing up 3/4 of Cybertron.

  • Same planet, Jagticon. Seibertron is just the japanese name for the planet Cybertron since they call the autobots, Cybertrons.

  • The japs destroyed Seibertron. Not Cybertron... But its nice to know that Megatron II (Beast Wars) has taken over that crap planet new Seibertron and caused some chaos. The real cybertron is somewhere out there..save

  • It wasn't just 3 bombs, they were set on Vector Sigma

  • Rodimus didn't leave them hanging, he returns with the newly founded Planet Micro as the new planet for all Transformers to live, later on it is turned into new Cybertron.

  • THEY BLEW IT UP!

  • what kind of shit is this?!

  • Rodimus just left them hanging. Man, he sucked on so many levels.

  • My god !! "I made 3 special bombs" hahah!! Well it doesnt take much to blow up the whole planet. And as always autobots couldnt do anything about it ...

  • A few episodes later they blow up Mars.

  • Its pissing me off !! The Japanese are making most of the new Transformers look like pokemon..

  • Their leader shall be named PIKA PRIME and his mortal enemy MEOWTHTRON...

  • the japanese did a very good job getting rid of the original characters, so they could add their own ones and pretty much fuck the orignal story.

  • That was very hard to watch our beloved planet gettting destryoed. I am so depresed right now!

  • Spike shouldn't be breathing without an exo-suit!

  • they nead to bring all the transfomer eps back, even the ones we missed!!!

  • you can buy all the US cartoons on dvd, HMV stocks headmasters dunno bout the other japanese series's, but from what i've seen you dont wanna see them...transforming 10 year olds, heads popping off, it all went a little too far for me, and the autobots and decepticons had been fighting for millions of years and they only think to blow up the planet now?

  • Also dont forget that Galvatron also gets killed during one of the later episodes of the series I think it was entitled "The Demise of the King of Destruction". I saw many of the headmaster episodes. IMO the character/script dialogue IS kinda cheezy but it's still MUCH better than Transformers energon and cybetron crap on cartoon network.

  • Galvatron's death is even worse in a way. I mean, he survives an explosion of an entire planet at ground zero, yet he is halted for good by couple of tonnes of ice?

  • He was killed the same way in the comic book, when Fortress Maximus buried Galvatron in an icy tomb for all eternity.

  • I agree that is no way to kill off a major villain like that. At least in some Japanese manga he is revived - that would've been nice to see.

  • The movie was taken into account, but the 3-part finale, The Rebirth, was completely ignored. Headmasters takes place right after The Return Of Optimus Prime. Ironically, Prime died 3 episodes in and Rodimus was brought back. But I think Rodimus made a bad decision to just leave.

  • I belive this episode is a so called "Spoof" or something.

    However i do remember that Headmasters have been translated to english with the original voices and aired in some countries. I myself have a pair of episodes.

  • No, it's very real. It's quite sad actually. I think the reason this happened was because the movie went to Japan way too late (1990) so the writers didn't really take it into account. Rodimus was supposed to be the new leader for a long time, and Cybertron was supposed to be launched into a golden age. And the thing that really kills me is that they killed Optimus Prime to save Cybertron, only to have it blow up.

  • Ì agree wholeheartedly. The destruction of Cybertron was extremely irritating movie, showing that the Japanese writers have next to no respect for the original show. I mean, here they are, Autobots battling valiantly and making huge sacrifices to free their planet...and then the Japanese blow it up.

  • @GoldenCrow Sorry that Im replying to a 4 year old comment

    While the series was somewhat translated into English it wasn't from the original voice actors. It was from a Hong Kong based company called "Omni Productions"

    Badly translated script

    The voice actors had English as their second language

    Only a handful of actors with little to no knowledge of the source material

    Weird name changes (Blaster is called Billy, Blurr is Wally etc) but most of the original names stayed

  • 'There aint no air in space!'

    'There's an air-n-space museum!'

  • This takes place in Transformers: Headmasters, which only aired in Japan. Following Headmasters, a series called Masterforce aired, which was followed by Victory. You might remember some of the Masterforce characters from the toy shelves (Pretenders, Powermaster Optimus Prime, etc)..

  • me too, i never saw this episode

  • either way i wish they showed this in the states before i hated the direction the tranformers went in the early 90s. this looks very dark which is good .

  • I never seen this either. I always thought it ended when Optimus came back. Who has the matrix? Rodimus just left?? That's crazy

  • man i wonder why i never seen this ever....
