I love the Decepticon trash-talk. They were dogging on each other more than the Autobots. No wonder they lost. There was some serious Autobot courage displayed in this episode. Definitely one of my top 5 favorites.
The Autobots are like real friends who joke and rib each other, meanewhile the Decepticons are actively trying to hurt each other, hence why they always fail due to their lack of trust. The Autobots know that life ain't a solitary path.
If I remember correctly, Thundercracker's fact files stated he was uncertain of the Decepticon cause. This episode is the only one that gives credence to this (IDW's comics do so more certainly).
Love that scene at 21:19 where Spike and the girl are obviously hoping for a ride home from the race car or super sonic jet, but instead have to settle for Bumblebee
Sorry tc never went against the decepticon agenda but yeah he did wanna get back at screamer for humiliating him Maybe if megs wooped thindercrackers ass more he would have left you could tell.he wasn't gonna be the whooping boy like screamer

Man I feel for Thundercracker Starscream blames him for his own mistakes and Megatron punches him. No wonder the other Deceptions hated Star. But TC talked smack to Megatron and Starscream at the end
Used to love Brawn with a passion. Was ready to bring it to Soundwave, Shockwave and even had Megatron calling him by name. The "minibots" (as they were nicknamed) were an awesome bunch. Brawn, Windcharger, Cliffjumper, Gears, Huffer and Bumblebee. Could never understand why when they needed someone small they always sent Bumblebee on missions when he was clearly the weakest of the bunch. (That said, when they first land on earth Prime does send Hound and Cliffjumper to 'observe' and Cliffjumper ends up taking this massive gun out and tries to end Megatron lol, maybe Prime switched up his tactics after that). Hurt my heart how Megatron took Brawn out with one shot in the 86 movie.
@@erikdrum6934 I've seen in "Child's Play" where the autobots and ecepticons battled at a baseball game. Brawn snuck up on Soundwave, spun him around, before throwing him across the field.
How is that strength. He’s just sitting on his back. It says more about sound waves stupidity that he just flew into a mountain. He could’ve just stopped flying
30 min wasted of lets get a Super powered weapon which does nothing because the Autobots just defeat the Decepticons really easily despite them having a powerful weapon.
I absolutely love it when thundercracker says what's the matter fearless leader you and starscream look real geeky. Maybe the autobots aren't wimps after all. Man when he said that it cracked me up. But then starscream says does he have to make that awful thunder noise? I have a headache
I loved it when Brawn stole Megatron's mega cannon and and said before he fired it on him: " Let's see how Megatron likes a dose of his own medicine"! And Pow! Direct hit! Laserbeak steals back his weapon and boy, Megatron was pissed off! "NO one does that to me, and continues to function "!! Brawn had guts. Optimus Prime would be impressed.
I loved seeing Braun and Windcharger have a solid role in this episode and try to take on Megatron by themselves. Braun's insults were great. Windcharger was always one of my favorite Transformers, and his toy was probably the one I played with the most. I'm still scarred from his death in the movie.
The first episode I ever watched of the series, always loved Transformers when I was a kid and discovered the original movie on a UMD for the PSP. Watched it first then realised I’d missed out on seasons 1 and 2. My old man then bought me DVDs of this series and I was hooked and became a huge fan of G1 after it! Truly a great series and holds great memories for me.
Yup they do it quite a lot, it's not even just decepticons transformers just conveniently forget that they can transform when they just opt to run or in the seekers cases fly to save themselves,in one of the side stories the Autobots I think even joke about why Starscream would climb and fall off a mountain when he could fly
So , no one talks about how much of a bad ass Brawn is ?!! Fucks Deceptions up twice is size , bullies Megatron , talks shit while kicking their asses , but still is humble enough when needs help and thanks is mates ?!! Brawn was a BAD ASS Mini bot , Show him respect .
Brawn is My favorite mini vehicle. Pipes is after wards. Not only he had strength But lot of courage too. Funny how he survived a shot to the head. Which would have killed him right there. But in the movie. In the Comics GI Joe comics. He was vaporized By A G2 megatron. He was brave enough to take on him even after Megatron. Blew up Steeljaw & Chase, Why Brawn is my favorite. I need to get the new studio series.
It's always something to think of how Spike got to be so familiar with the Autobots that he went from barely understanding enough about their circuitry as a kid to get Skyfire repaired enough to return to battle to becoming such an expert that he was able to follow Brainstorm's plans over 20 years later to create the first five Autobot Headmasters, help modify those plans to create the Targetmasters and modify Cerebros and rebuild the ancient Hive city that Cerebros found to create Fortress Maximus. And he created Fortress Maximus in enough time to save Earth and Cybertron from being destroyed by the Plasma Energy Chamber while having enough insight to process the extra solar energy from the just ceased overload of the sun to bring back Cybertron's Golden Age.
Love G1 Transformers Brawn was one of the strongest little autobots ranked 7 in strength. The same blast he got from Megatron in the show is exactly the same he got in the Transformers the movie, was pissed that he got killed.
This episode was split into 5 minute chunks for UK's TV-AM Roland Rat show. I recorded it every day and watched it for YEARS. Gave me a deep love of TF's and Sunbow animation!
This is the only episode I remember where Thundercracker actually had a character. He was the first toy I owned so he was my favorite Transformer. That's why I loved this episode.
@@cjparks7881 in g1 he was just one of the goons he was just there as part of the con squad fighting alongside the others but other than that he served no other purpose Marvel comics treated him no better Props to idw for taking the time to.gibe thundercracker a personality
Interesting. At 7:32 there is a part where Megatron says, "there's no way a midget like you..." But if you turn on the CC to see the words, the word "midget" is not there. Well at least they didn't try to censor the dialog itself.
And the fact that they was doing work for other toons Don messick.was also leading the smurfs and riding around the mystery machine with Frank welker and Casey kasem Messick used to steal picnic baskets too
Brawn takes a fusion cannon blast to the chest and topples back, but none the worse for wear here. Later he would take a similarly powerful blast to the shoulder and just keel over dead.
It's a real treat watching these G1 episodes in their entirety. This is one episode where the Decepticons get their rears handed to them by the Autobots in hand-to-hand combat. Didn't happen too much in animation. More in live-action. The dialogue is one of the best from season 1 too, especially with the various Decepticons digging at each other. I'm pretty sure Sideswipe and Wheeljack weren't in the previous episode 'Fire in the Sky', so Skyfire shouldn't know who they are. Question - if all it took was some drilling and heat treatment to free Skyfire, why didn't the Autobots just do that at the end of 'Fire in the Sky'?
The fact that Megatron just lets Lazerbeak sit on his shoulder as he fires on the Autobots. No other Decepticon gets the same respect than the cadettes
Starscream: You mean ours, don't you leader? Megatron: Yes of course. I have you thank for this worthless weapon frame. Starscream: Don't blame me, Thundercracker swiped defective steel, not I. It was HIS fault. Thundercracker: You lie Starscream! Megatron: Silence you fool! (Megatron punched Thundercracker) Megatron: You and Starscream remain here to guard the crystal. Skywarp, watch them. See they do no further damage. Skywarp: [Laughs maniacally]
I don’t understand if Brawn is one of the strongest Autobots then why did he die so easily in the Movie? Oh wait they wanted to discontinue his toy. Lame!!!!
The Autobots were low on power ("We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault."), and so their shields couldn't take a beating like they do in these early episodes. Think of it like a prize fighter who hasn't eaten in a week. Think he can still do as good as he did on a full stomach?
How ironic is that the 4 decepticons that enter the pyramid after Megatron blows a hole in it ( Megatron,Soundwave,Skywarp and Rumble) are ALL voiced by Frank Welker.
Soundwave's cassettes are really huge in season 1...look at how big Laserbeak is, perched on Megatrons shoulder. The size of the mini-bots is more in scale with the 'normal' Autobot cars too.
I love how Thundercracker was able to get away with calling Megatron geeky. He’s lenient with everyone except Starscream
Because star scream literally says he will kill Megatron to be leader every episode and has fired on Megatron like five times

Brawn takes a fusion cannon blast to the chest and topples back, but none the worse for wear here.
Later he would take a similarly powerful blast to the shoulder and just keel over dead.
Toy was cancelled
there was a cut plot point in the movie. autobots were losing power
"The steel stealers."
I see that the power of puns has always been a force to be reckoned with.
5:00 ish and the fight at the pyramid make this the most memorable highlight back when I used to watch these lol
These are the real ones! Hasbro was at its peak here! After 1986, Hasbro blew it up greatly!
8:16 MEGATRON GUN MODE!!! Wow Brawn was about to be canceled before the movie.
And Megatron goes more monochrome than he usually does.
It's a real treat watching these G1 episodes in their entirety. This is one episode where the Decepticons get their rears handed to them by the Autobots in hand-to-hand combat. Didn't happen too much in animation. More in live-action.
The dialogue is one of the best from season 1 too, especially with the various Decepticons digging at each other.
I'm pretty sure Sideswipe and Wheeljack weren't in the previous episode 'Fire in the Sky', so Skyfire shouldn't know who they are.
Question - if all it took was some drilling and heat treatment to free Skyfire, why didn't the Autobots just do that at the end of 'Fire in the Sky'?
Low fuel they had to repair themselves and recharge from fighting the cons
Good point. If I was Prime, I would have sent a detail to free Skyfire straightaway. The aerial cover he provides would be too valuable to waste 😉
This was only 2-3 episodes after Skyfire grounded himself...makes sense with the time-line
It has come to my sudden realization that bumblebee has pink seat covers. This is the best design choice ive ever seen in my life
Brawn laid hands on Soundwave, Starscream and even Megatron 😂😂😂
This makes me very happy
11:35 "if fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight!"
The fact that Megatron just lets Lazerbeak sit on his shoulder as he fires on the Autobots. No other Decepticon gets the same respect than the cadettes
Starscream: You mean ours, don't you leader?
Megatron: Yes of course. I have you thank for this worthless weapon frame.
Starscream: Don't blame me, Thundercracker swiped defective steel, not I. It was HIS fault.
Thundercracker: You lie Starscream!
Megatron: Silence you fool!
(Megatron punched Thundercracker)
Megatron: You and Starscream remain here to guard the crystal. Skywarp, watch them. See they do no further damage.
Skywarp: [Laughs maniacally]
I just noticed that Skyfire had his shattered glass colors for a few seconds. Even his eyes were red. LOL unconventional Easter Egg.
_From now on, you will do exactly what this "geeky Decepticon" tells you._
Or I’ll report your treachery to Megatron and he’ll have you melted into welding rods!
I LOVE this episode bc of some of my favorite autobots got some airtime Brawn and Windcharger
I don’t understand if Brawn is one of the strongest Autobots then why did he die so easily in the Movie? Oh wait they wanted to discontinue his toy. Lame!!!!
The Autobots were low on power ("We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault."), and so their shields couldn't take a beating like they do in these early episodes. Think of it like a prize fighter who hasn't eaten in a week. Think he can still do as good as he did on a full stomach?
@@isaned remember that Megatron in gun mode is lethal.
18:40
Ironhide: Optimus old buddy! This is what separates the Autobots from the Robot Chickens!
Brawn: And no one calling me a robot chicken!
How ironic is that the 4 decepticons that enter the pyramid after Megatron blows a hole in it ( Megatron,Soundwave,Skywarp and Rumble) are ALL voiced by Frank Welker.
Spike totally could've had a Peruvian princess...😂
He ignored her
Why spike looked like Mitch from baywatch lmao
They smashed after the episode while bumblebee checked out jyanita
12:58,
Have a good time playing Crystal Nerd, Screamer! BYE!~
20:11 Megatron got scared of Optimus when he threw him down lol
His tone showed it 😂😂
@@Bellarina-e4eTop it off with Thundercracker calling him out on just running away immediately. Pretty geeky. 😂
Soundwave's cassettes are really huge in season 1...look at how big Laserbeak is, perched on Megatrons shoulder. The size of the mini-bots is more in scale with the 'normal' Autobot cars too.
Vultures aren’t exactly parrot size, so Laserbeak is a big bird bot.
Such a great episode. One of my favorites!
Childhood favourite of mine as well!
Mine too
This episode was really awful & trash. What's the point of getting a powerful weapon if the Autobots are just going to win very easily anyways.
The Way that Soundwave is holding Megatron, I would love to have that on a T- Shirt
