I love the idea of the alliance between Sub-Atlantica and the Decepticons. Nergil had impressive shield technology and Decepticons could help him optimize the energy needed to run it by introducing energon. That's what really helped me realize energon is energy compressed into its most potent state. I'm pretty sure if you listen closely you can hear what the sub-atlanticans say when they scramble their speech. And Megatron casually taking Lincoln off his monument and using it as a throne is always a favorite moment of mine. I'm glad they gave it a nod in "Dark of the Moon."
I'm grown ass man and I watch this sht from the beginning to the end like a 8yr child geezs. Talk about how this cartoon had a influence on me when I was a child and as a man it still gets all my attention. I was actually worried about wheel jack. Lmao
15:49 You know business is going to pick up when the Dinobots arrive on the scene and this episode was one of the best from season 2 that really showcased how tough they really are
00:09 For some reason I like the part when Grimlock bites the logo, pops his t-rex arms back and all 3 simultaneously transform. Great animation on an intro.
Funny how Buzzsaw and Lazerbeak look almost the same but the former hardly gets a mention… same with Frenzy and Rumble - I wonder why? Somehow I’d never seen this episode before. I definitely prefer Galvatron to Megatron and I’m glad they got rid of Starscream. Rodimus Prime was a disaster.
Nice for the grown ups to watch the series again and refresh those memories, and as for us young generations, it is a new show, but just re-watching the history of the most beloved transformers. Love and blessings from India🇮🇳!

'foolishly Gallant, Wheeljack!" ...I like how Megatron knows who Wheeljack is. Often, he just refers to all the Autobots...as "Autobots" , not as individual names.
@@MarkW1210 It’s not as if there were hundreds of Autobots on Earth at this point in the show. He has run into them dozens of times and watched many spy videos of them. Be knows who all of them are. And especially Wheeljack, who disabled him with one shot in the first Dinobots episode.

For me, Season 1-2 plus movie are canon and good story and characters are than season 3-4, but headmasters, meh a lot of minor characters like dinobots are left ambigious
Double the Prime, double the fall for Megatron! (That would be cool) I think it was an animation error... They didn't remove the cell where Optimus was initially standing after he began sprinting towards the monument. The animators were probably under time/budget constraints (or simple human error) and forgot to check the animation flow.
Ratchet, Gears, Windcharger, Bluestreak, Mirage, Jazz, Huffer, Cliffjumper, Sideswipe, or Sunstreaker could have arrived as reinforcements instead of the Dinobots.
lol 9:40-9:42 Megatron and Skywarp cels are misaligned or the camera panned just a bit too far and you can see the xerox lines end and vinyl paint just stop shy of the bottom of frame. God I love old school animation. Always fun watching for errors. Considering how fast they banged these out Toei did a fantastic job keeping error to a minimum. AKOM??? lol well It was fun watching to find something the didn't screw up.
Grimlock is toying with him. He takes multiple chest shots from Megatron and just laughs it off, and doesn’t shoot back. If he transformed so he could actually use his arms, he would have easily overpowered Megatron.
Grimlock is hilarious in this episode. Roasting anyone and everyone at every opportunity.

Or maybe he moved so fast that he left behind an afterimage.
Or maybe it's just a preview of Transformers Into the Prime-verse.
It's a flashback to the clone episode
had to laugh so hard at that and i rarely laugh
That or space-time briefly glitched out before Vector Prime fixed it.
Starscream is so treacherous he can detect other people's treachery. He was definitely on point
You mean Starscream. He was the one he didn't trust the sub atlantians from the beginning
@@XTRABIG yes Starscream. Thanks
@@DJ-vk4rp Soundwave certainly helped tho.
@@XTRABIG yes. He's the sneaky spy
And he caught on to the Autobots disguised as Stunticons too. He could distinguish their driving patterns. He was pretty smart.
If Rumble agrees with Starscream…. We’re in trouble😂
I agree. The Decepticons aren't above taking advantage of people.
are you a woman?

I like how Soundwave is able to decode the speech of the Atlanteans.
This is what they should have done in that awful Carnage in C Minor episode.

Great call. The Dark of the Moon had a lot of old school references
There's a lot of references from G1. Both the main villains' plans of 2 and 3 were literally pulled from G1 and I love it.
He also did this in the Decepticon ending of the 2007 game, seems like Megatron really hates Abraham Lincoln for some reason.
Wow, this was one of the few times in which Starscream tries to save Megatron's life.

They’re alien robots
yep spike talking was bs but its more weird that the electronics fuction perfectly underwater
In the deepest part of the Atlantic… and not even a wetsuit or weight belt

Megatron against the monster Grimlock - what impressive warriors and courage!
You gotta love how cocky Grimlock is. But he has a heart of gold deep down.
Absolutely. They should've had a spin-off series of just the G1 Dinobots.
Megatron: You don't frighten me, you mechanical throwbacks!

16:50 one does not simply fuck with Grimlock.

Because he is cute, good and dangerous

Great retort by Grimlock! Maybe he would be great at Insult swordfighting (it's a Monkey Island thing)
I was rolling of Grimlock’s statement of *wisdom* on any enemies in life. 🤣🤣🤣🤩😂🙏🏽🙌🏽👍🏽
Megatron knew nothing about compassion and understanding.

I love the fact that Lincoln isn't sculptured in his throne but can be removed so Megatron can sit there.
Transformers Dark of the Moon, this scene is referenced there 😅
@@knight60000 Only difference is that Megatron actually SHOOTS at the statue.... yet the throne was still intact for some reason lol
@@galaxy_kitten95 🤣🤣🤣 some weird logic?? 🤣🤣
I love the idea of the alliance between Sub-Atlantica and the Decepticons. Nergil had impressive shield technology and Decepticons could help him optimize the energy needed to run it by introducing energon.

Grimlock got all the good lines in this episode.
There's no doubt. The DinoBots are powerful.
I love how Megatron is kind enough to remove the Lincoln statue instead of blowing it up to pieces like his Bayverse counterpart.

This is the 1 episode I'd have to give Starscream a kudos. His suspicions were correct when he said he didn't trust that humanoid squid.
grimlock fighting megatron is just pure awesomeness
Seems like Grimlock was just toying with Megatron, while Megatron was shooting Grimlock straight in the chest and it just bounced off.
Yes indeed, but I would have loved to see Grimlock mop the floor "or ground" with Megatron.

One of my absolute favorite jokes on TFWiki is a picture of the Atlantean king on the entry on Earth. Captioned “An Earthling”.
This is as good as it gets for the Dinobots before they turn into toddlers in seasons 3-4
