Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 3 | E29 | Hasbro Pulse
An embittered scientist and his partner decide that it's time to rid themselves of every Transformer on Earth. Their plan is use the lifeless body of Optimus Prime to lure the Autobots to his laboratory, where they release a dangerous plague from space that pits Autobot against Autobot. But soon, this Hate Plague spreads to the Decepticons, the human race, and the entire universe as well. When Rodimus Prime falls victim to the plague as well, the galaxy's only hope is to restore Optimus Prime to life, hoping that he can save the Autobots and the galaxy.

Funny how whenever someone decides “all robots are evil” it’s always the Autobots they attack, never the Decepticons
That's probably because the ones who attacked the Deceptions never lived to tell the tale.
Nobody f***s with the Decepticons
Because the Decepticons are Democrats
They choos an easyer target. As much as they hate to admit it the autobots are good and won't kill missguided humans. Atack the decepticons and they don't pull punches in battle and they wouldn't hesitate to killmhumans.
@@domingorubies656 The Decepticons would be good allies with the Viltrumites
Rodimus disconnecting Metroplex to prevent him from being infected was probably the smartest thing ever.
Except it's not because Magnus is already infected and inside Metroplex when Rodimus is attempting to disconnect him...
@@ValiantWrestling By that point enough of Metroplex was already offline he just needed to take the main console offline.
If they had to disconnect Metroplex because he'd be too dangerous infected I wonder if they had to do the same thing to the Dinobots or Omega Supreme.
@@andrewchin6211 I have a theory that Omega was actually infected and traveled to the planet that those sharkticons dwelled and infected them before leaving to spread it elsewhere.
@@Tracks2008 That's actually a good theory.
I will be 80 years old and still watching this episode like I was kid all over again.
You sir are a legend
G1 was made the year I was born. And I'm now not even the age you were when you first watched it. I hope to say the same words when I'm 80. You're an inspiration to us all!
Same
Same.
Same
Galvatron: "They've all gone mad. This is no place for Me!!!!" will always be the number 2 line in all of transformers.
Number one line: “It’s Over Prime!”
@Spooky_D "amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies" - Optimus prime
@@W3-productions”she’s not so hot! she’s hot enough to replace you whenever i choose!”
He's calling the kettle black. He did a similar thing back in Ghost in the Machine. When Starscream possessed Scourge, and Galvatron claimed that Scourge, and I quote, "Lost his mind"
SAd knowing this is where Transformers: Generation 1 pretty much ends.
13:58 you know you have a problem when you're too insane for Galvatron...
Only way to beat a insane person is for you to be more insane
LOL 100%
“It’s true. Our leader is back!”
“Yes Sky Lynx. And this time no force in the universe can stop me!” 20:23
Had that as my start-up sound, back when you could customise Mac laptops that way
@@cristicat5820 that sounds so cool
Welcome back, Optimus.
Chills every time!
Makes me cry ever time, Optimus is superman in Transformers universe
When Optimus started talking my whole body got chills. I was ready to see what Optimus was going to do and of course it had to show a to be continued at the bottom. Waiting that whole week was tourcher .
Me too
Thank Goodness for DVDs
back when this 1st aired in the late 80's EVERY teenage boy and adults were watching these episodes!
Torture* ?
With no offense of condemnation at all, I'm curious how old you are.
I spent some time watching children's shows from the 1960's and even 50's. Johnny Soko and his Giant Robot, and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet.
I wonder if I could stomach what is being produced today. At the 1990's I had to stop.
They never explained how he want from a damaged Zombie Prime with a missing arm on a collision course to the sun to a fully restored pristine Prime deactivated Prime. Hmm, same mystery as to where his Trailer goes in robot mode I guess.
That always bothered me since being a kid. Supposedly it is due to different animators doing Dark Awakening & The Return. Supposedly in the original script Prime was supposed to be damaged like he was in Dark Awakening and Swafford and Morgan fixed him up to weaponise him but it was removed due to time restrictions, also in the original script Rodimus was plagued with nightmares of zombie Optimus in the autobot mausoleum which would have been cool to see instead of him just mentioning it at Optimus's statue
No Wait! In which episode do we see damaged Zombie Prime with a missing arm on a collision course to the sun?!
@@alxxz a few episodes prior for the first return of Optimus Prime in season 3, G1.
That´s because it´s a kids TV series. When we were kids, we didn´t care.
It's all part of the magic of sloppy 80's cartoon writing
5:20 "We'll bring your daughter to County General!"
"NOOOOOOO! THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF MY INSURANCE PLAN'S NETWORK! YOU MONSTERS!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😢😢
The real cause of the hate is revealed... outrageous premium hikes after the Megatron incident
"I HATE THEM, GREGORY...I HATE THEM!!!" 🤬🤬
Side note: 1:17 to 1:30 is the last time you see G1 Megatron in the entire G1 series.
What episode did Megatron and Optimus fought each other in the flashback reference?
@@johnmoore7926 I don't think they did that included Swolford. If they had it would have been early season 1, possibly when they brought in Chip. Perhaps around the time of Divide and Conquer, but I seriously doubt it, because there wasn't an episode that featured Swolford in seasons 1 nor 2.
@@johnmoore7926 There was no episode, it was some random encounter we never saw before.
@@johnmoore7926 There was a flashback. When this sciantist recalls Megatron attacking his lab he also blames Optimus even though Optimus was trying to stop megatron. That guy just sees all transformers as evil. He even gets mad when the autobots make cybernetic exo legs to let his crypled daughter walk.
@@ShadowSonic2 Agreed. This technically could've been anytime between the 4th G1 episode and the movie. Considering that the Decepticons conquered their home planet by 2005, I doubt '2005' Megatron had any interest on being in a random laboratory. So it suggests that the flashback occurred closer to the "we need energy" era vs the "Cybertron is ours" era. Beyond that, it's speculative and really has no bearing on any previous episode that we've seen.
Jessica's operation and Optimus' weaponization being shown after each other is incredibly poetic.

@@omarrkoroma5164 SAd looking back, this was where Generation 1 pretty much ended.
Galvatron: They've all gone mad! This is no place for me!!
Me: That's ironic,coming from you.
that made me laugh.
"I'M INSANE
BUT I'M NOT THAT INSANE!"
Yeah. I caught the irony there.
Pot, meet kettle.
Galvatron's best quote.
20:20 I cried happy tears here when I first watched it as a kid 😊 Optimus is back baby!!!!
In my Childhood there was Hulk Hogan, Son Goku and Optimus Prime. The thing they had in common, was that they were unbeatable and when they were beat it felt so uncomfortable and disturbing (as a child). Whenever they revived (or resurrected) it was a poetic moment of hope!
Seeing Optimus return from the grave was quite a surprise. But it was also a good comeback.
I love the fact that he comes back
He somewhat Always comes back to life in nearly most of the series and movies
But it's a good thing because there is no Transformers without Optimus Prime
Rodimus just wasn't able to replase Optimus. Despite the creators trying to make a new leader for the outobots he just wasn't as popular.
Me too don't tell the homies...
Evil Ultra Magnus is a frighteningly powerful mechanism.
The cure for madness is wisdom. A wonderful statement.
Welcome back Optimus Prime!
Best Season finale
He gets killed three episodes later.
Ultra Magnus: "Where's that punk Rodimus Prime? I WANT HIM!!" Hmm.. has Magnus had a secret grudge against Rodimus this whole time for taking the matrix from him? 🤔
I think it's more that Rodimus is prone to making hotheaded decisions but because he is the leader Ultra Magnus has to listen even when he knows it's a bad idea. The plague basically makes everyone unhinged psychos, so after falling into a trap cause of him Ultra Magnus's hate boner is purely focused on Rodimus,
@Shak I don't think I'd want to see Ultra Magnus's "hate boner" 😂
[9:19] The Rodimus head slide. Always cracks me up.
Giggity
One of the reasons Optimus was better than Rodimus: Prime never had a sliding head...
One of the show's many animation glitches.
Just an error
Even with colors.
Called celluloid errors
Man that Hate Plague brought out the worst in Ultra Magnus.
I know its scary
And brought out the funny in Wreck-Garr! What he said after becoming infected was comedy gold!
Bro think he’s motor master
Nobody is their usual self while under its influence.
@20:11 Still gives me chills 30+ years later
Wreck Gar: He's dead, Jim.
Love the Star Trek reference. 😂
14:59 is another Trekkie reference 🖖
@@KayDee215 Obviously Dr. McCoy was a favorite of Wreck Gar! 😂
@@KayDee215 Double reference. First McCoy, "I'm a doctor, not a forklift!" Then Scotty, "His engines, they canna take the strain!"
Goes to show that Star Trek is relevant even in the G1 Transformers universe.
@@andrewchin6211 I like the reference to the classic Dr. Pepper commercial: I'm a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
10:10 This scene will always give me chills. So much authority and coolness.
Yes, if only Magnus displayed that kind of authority in the movie.
Oh god yeah. When I saw this comment I should have known you were referencing this scene. That music, man. Too many season 3 episodes must have been made while still producing season 2 that have the old school overly militaristic horns and Ateam vibe. The ones that had the nods to the movie felt like a future version that was never fully realized. Too bad scenes like this were animated by a one-armed drunk (or a one-armed Defensor) named Stinky Pete.
Yea that was fire
@@ValiantWrestling which movie?
@@gualbertogascon2767
There is only ONE movie
The fandom rejoiced when Optimus came back to life.
...Only to cry when he is killed off again at the start of Headmasters.
@@Rocket1377 Japanese G1 Continuity. American G1 Optimus Prime is very much alive.
@@theomnicontentchannel2203At that time, it really didn’t matter, that was effectively the end of G1 in America. The American Headmaster, “Rebirth”, or whatever it’s called didn’t even air on a lot of stations, and the series was quickly discontinued, and the time slots were allotted to other shows.
@@Rocket1377ya everything after The Rebirth doesn’t count for American G1 continuity
No. They rejoicdd when Rodimus was replaced
For real though, Rodimus Prime made a really smart decision disconnecting Metroplex.
*Can you imagine what would have happened if he got infected?* Optimus Prime would have been utterly screwed even if he came back to life.
That's what I said, too. It would have been disastrous.
What about Trypticon or Omega Supreme?
@@ganados0 Omega Supreme not much bigger than your average combiner, his infection wouldn't have made such a devastating impact as Metroplex or Trypticon, actual city sized Transformers.
It's a bit of a error when he says that considering Magnus is already inside Metroplex when Rodimus is attempting to disconnect him, lmao.
@@ValiantWrestling guess he has to infect Metroplex's inner core or computer if he wants to infect him.
Watched this on a local (Philippine) free TV channel back in the mid-1990s.
After weeks of adjusting (even enduring) Optimus Prime-less Season 3 episodes and countless replays, this episode was finally shown!
Then countless replays set in again until Part 2 was played.
It wasn't easy back then. The commercials made it even an episode longer, thus challenging the attention span.
13:57 "They've all gone mad!" He would know.
"This is no place for me!" lol One of my fav Galvatron lines. As if, my insane lil' robotic budsky.
"They have all gone mad, this is no place for me" Galvatron the most sane robot ever.
19:39 Sky Lynx: You did that on purpose! Quintesson: It was an accident! 😆
17:44 animator drew Rodimus as already infected. Spotting all the weird animation errors has been a Transformers fan past time for 40 years!
I really love the conversation between Rodimus and his Modesty Sky Lynx at 15:15.
"he's dead jim" LOL
Just do it
when the covid pandemic broke out i automatically thought about this episode.
If only the Matrix could help us now.
Sure did get people fighting now didn't it, lol.
Yes in more ways than you think... Because of the pandemic I'm right back here watching this episode.
So did I!
I thought exactly the same too so it's nice to find some like minds. The more Covid eeks out its horrid narrative the more I wonder just when will Prime turn up?
First time watching this. I can still remember it.
30th November 2009, Peter Cullen's first as Optimus Prime was brought back to life, a chill went down my spine, My eyes, and whole face was wide, my smile big. My Hero was Back.
In my case, I saw this episode back in 1995 for the first time.
@@MatthewTheWolf2029 87 when it first premiered baby
@@chrisedwards3214 I'm aware of that, dude. But 1995 was the year I saw it for the first time. I didn't see this episode when it first aired in 1987. But I'm aware of the facts. And don't call me baby.
@@MatthewTheWolf2029 What the!? I'm sure he was just telling you he first watched it when it premiered in 87', and baby was just an expression 😂😂🤦♂
@@iaagpiaasasp3236 Okay. I admit I overreacted. Sorry.
Still gets chocked up seeing prime stand up and talk
As happy as I was to have Optimus Prime come back, the one problem I had was the fact that in the end of Dark Awakening, Prime was missing an arm, half of his face, and basically coming apart. It was only years later that I found out that this two-part season 3 finale was put together because everyone wanted Optimus Prime back.
Well in all actuality that was true he was missing things but when they put when they put the whole scene together for the new chapters the company that did the drawings didn't do the drawings correctly And of course it wasn't the same animating company that did the original so they didn't know any better
I didn't have a problem with another character taking over. I only had a problem with the impulsive dumbass that got Optimus killed taking over.
@@robertj.3383You nailed it; I would've handled Magnus leading the team so much better.
They re wrote the ending & Have to give no explanation to what happened. I think too since dark awakening I think those 2 humans were also in the area. Right after the fleet left. & Optimu's ship did not explode yet..All Has to do with re writing.
So the reason is it’s an animation error. Dark awakening was done by another company and then the contract was over. Then the other company that did the return of Optimus prime forgot to add in the battle damage.
I like how this episode and the following one use music from Transformers: The Movie.
it's just the score by vince de whatever carried over from the movie.. all of season 3 has the same composer as the movie
@@DjDoxastic Di Cola
the song you are referring to was "The Touch by Stan Bush"
It's not Vince DiCola it is just emulating his music from the movie
15:00Wreck Gar watching a lot of classic Star Trek.
As he stated in The 1986 movie, he talks TV.
He knows the old Legend of Zelda Cartoon too^^
When this episode was new the original Trek reruns were still in the hot Monday-Friday "after the news but before prime time" zone, plus the Trek movies were on that "Spock's dead, now he's back" vibe...!
Think he was watching the episode when spock goes nuts?
@6:32 I love how Swindle is hanging out at the Hospital w the Protectabots, apparently very concerned about Jessica Morgan. He's a softy at heart
Isn't it obvious, they pay him. 🤣
He felt bad about what they did so he came back to apologize. Lol
He's there for the collections agency.
They bought scrap metal from him.
Who else to run the insurance plan/scam extortion scheme?
Funny how Optimus Prime's body was in worse shape in a previous episode: Dark Awakening. For goodness sake, no continuity at all!
Different animation companies is probably one of reasons why.
They retroactively said that one was a rebuilt body I think, dark awakening was the real body and that was destroyed. Quintessons had the ability to rebuild entire transectors. All they needed to do with that body was make it fully functional and reupload his memory circuits and he’s back to life
I know it's been around 30 years since this was first aired... and a lot of people didn't get the memo...
The show was a 30 minute toy commercial.
If you look at the channel name... they drop clues... maybe pick it up?
It's NOT Shakespeare. People didn't make this show for the sake of story continuity. Enjoy it for what it is... nostalgia.
@@BornInPhillyPA Actually that is wrong because in the original script his body was supposed to be damaged like it was in Dark Awakening and he was to be fixed up by the scientists in order to weaponise him wit the spores but it was removed due to time restrictions
20:30 Finally, even after 28 episodes, i miserably missed optimus. He's alive!!!!
9:10 "Why do I keep seeing you in my dreams, Optimus... are you telling me I'm not the leader you were? (sigh) I already know that Optimus... I always have." He struggles with that for the whole season, THEN overcomes it by the end, only to have the GOAT sign a contract extension and be like "OUT OF THE WAY, HOT ROD!" Next thing you know he's back at the statue like Coy and Vance Duke talking about "where was I... oh yeah, f--- this Optimus, ya'll should've picked Twin Twist..."
13:59
Galvatron: "They've all gone mad! THIS IS NO PLACE FOR MEEEE!!"
The irony lol
"I'm a doctor, not a forklift"
Wreck Gar, you're a mechanic
But still, nice Star Treck easteregg.
One of the best episodes in terms of plot, soundtrack and animation.
I still can not believe how long this series has lasted since I was kid in the 1970s.
Animator #1: “Hmmmmm, how do we make the human villain really obvious for the kids?”
Animator #2: “we could give him a face scar and a devious smirk”
Animator #1: “GENIUS!!”
Sky-Lynx: It's true! Our leader is back!
Optimus Prime: Yes Sky-Lynx! And this time, no Force in the universe can stop me!
Greatest line in cartoon history
“Now sky lynx where are prowl ironhide and all the other deactivated autobots bodies? This quintesson can repair them and we can tackle this issue together”
Sky lynx: “erm prime you incinerated all there bodies in a sun a little while back”
Prime: “shit!!”
Unless he's in the Japanese Continuity. Because 4 episodes later bye bye Optimus Prime.
No wonder it's such a good double episode it's written in part by freaking Marv Wolfman 🤯
15:09 ha! i love the bits they do god i love when back in the day you could get away with almost anything just like with the He's dead Jim Star Trek reference. and its frightening that even when Optimus is nonfunctioning that arm still knocked Sky Lynix a couple feet backwards. shows how powerful he is.
20:28 spoken like the Greatest Autobot ever built.
Hasbro cant even stop him.
@@RhetoricalGamer Tarkra can though
I do enjoy this episode I am glad that hasbro decide to bring Optimus back
"I can't wait to sizzle their circuits, BUT GOOD!!"
Ah Afterburner, mah boy!
I always believed that the Quintesson did a "Rhinox" from Beast Wars.He basically accessed the Matrix and brought Optimus's spark back like how Rhinox retrieved Optimus Primal's.
The Autobots should've celebrated Jessica. After all, she saved Optimus's life and therefore helped save ALL the Autobots!
I always wondered about the Hate Plague. At first the infected wanted to tear each other apart but later it just becomes about infecting. I think the spores might have been a collective consciousness. In small portions they only used the aggression of hosts to spread. But as they infected more their intelligence grew as they had more minds to work in. Until the collective consciousness decided it wanted to grow to posses all life rather then destroy it.
But this was such a glorious return of all our Autobot Dad.
I always thought it was like the Hate virus from 28 days later, only less feral and more intelligent
So kinda like the flood from halo, where the more biomass they gain the smarter and harder to kill they get.
Yeah, I totally agree with that theory. It was interesting to me when the first infected started trying to tear each other down. Like almost like they had something to get off their chest and this was their perfect outlet to do it. Would've been interesting to see Omega Supreme infected because the only other emotion that was supposedly left in him (re: the Secret of Omega Supreme episode) was hate.
Optimus: No force in the Universe will stop me!
Takara: Oh, don't be so sure about thaaaaaat!
Headmasters killed him off again its like they love killing prime
Also, this goes without saying. But I realized that out of everyone who died in this series, Optimus was the only one who came back from the grave. But everybody else stayed dead.
If the series continued prowl, wheeljack, inferno, shockwave, starscream, Megatron, bumblebee, jazz, grimlock, snarl and blaster would have action masters it would have been crazy seeing how they would have reintroduced
@@chrisedwards3214 Well, who knows what would have happened down the road?
You forgot Starscream in "Ghost of the Machine"
@@jignat Oh yeah. Starscream just disappeared, and we never saw him again. I honestly thought he would have played a big part in season 3 after he regained a physical body. But oh well.
I remember seeing Dead Ass Optimus on Tv after school.
It was badass.
"You did that on purpose!"
"It was an accident!"
Lol
11:01 one of the most visible bloopers in the series. A really good plot, ruined by this random errors...
Some of the worst and best animation of the entire G1 series contained in this two-parter.
Optimus just got obliterated
@@jpdunphy1 yeah in the first scenes of part two, every shot of Optimus is some of the uglyest versions of him I've ever seen but then when they get to Chaar he looks fantastic. The Chaar scenes are some of the best animation and artwork of all four seasons.
This was Hasbro's way of saying sorry for killing Optimus off in the movie
When Ultra Magnus was infected with hate plague, he sounded like a shattered glass ultra magnus
20:15 - 20:17 and the great leader rises once again to lead the Autobots
20:26 Optimus Prime is back and better than ever
The first episode of transformers I ever saw... I had no idea about the series. no idea about the movie and what was going on... But it was exciting and I liked it! 😀
This episode was co-written by legendary comics writer Marv Wolfman, co-creator of Blade, Nova, Cyborg, and Deathstroke, among dozens of other characters.
He was overrated
For years I thoughts humans here were the real villains….
However I finally understand, the father was infected with the hate-spores from the beginning.
Only gradually
6:33 Swindle just chillin with the Protectobots.
Did we forget his ship exploded in that one episode 🤣
they are supposed to have gotten him out before that happened..unfortunately it was a different set of animators working on these eps and they obviously had no time to be consistent.
At 6:31 we can see Swindle casually waiting for Jessica with the Protector Bots 🤣
Supposed to be streetwise
Knowing him, he probably was there to sell some organs
(5:55) Dr. Morgan's comment sounds suspiciously similar to what the Quintessons did in Dark Awakening!
10:10 rodimus isn't messing around when it comes to what is essentially a funeral service
Glade they brought my big homie back.
My dad when turning 50: ohh, a movie with john Wayne and a new dvd with Beatles.
Me as 50 in a few months: COOL, the rebirth of optimus prime and also transformers the movie on TH-cam
I wonder how many other people besides me noticed that Rodimus steps on Optimus' foot when he and Jessica realize Ultra Magnus and the others had walked into a trap leading them to be exposed to the hate plague.
I was so very glad & happy when they decided to bring Optimus Prime back to life in this 2 part episode of Transformers:More Than Meets The Eye 👁
Seeing how Wreck-Gar maintained his "talk TV" personality after getting infected, it makes me wish the other Autobots who were infected get a little more screen time. Like with Blurr, hearing him talking about more or less killing anyone faster than anybody, and then able to infect several bots at once due to his fast speed, would be very interesting to see happen.
This story has enough potential to be a feature length film, the possibilities are endless. I love it but tbh two 20 minute episodes doesn’t do justice to the idea of a hate plague spreading across the universe
Noticed too That Wreck-Gar was doing Ricky From I love Lucy?
If Blurr got infected, the episode would end near instantly.
two scientists quest for revenge nearly wipeout all life in the galaxy
Dr. Morgan and Gregory should be put in prison for the rest of their lives for all those killed across the cosmos because of the Hate Plague they released.
@@spaceycaveco.698 agreed
and only one of them had petty reasons in doing so
Anyone remember DRSMOOV's dubbing of this? Back before TH-cam.
I havn't seen but I love his Rude Awakening, Shockwaves burden etc so I'd love too see and hear that.
I knew this two parter existed, but didn't see it for years. I just always missed it and I could never find the tape of it. Funny enough, I saw both Dark Awakening, which brought back Prime as a zombie and had an alternate ending that teased this episode, and Rebirth, which had Prime back as leader before I ever saw this.
I was well into my teens when I FINALLY got a VHS of this thing. It was worth the wait to finally see Prime's great return.
Its just weird that I searched high and low for so long to get this episode and now here it is on TH-cam for free for everyone to see and posted by Hasbro. Unreal, lol.
I love season 3 but nothing compares to season 1 bc of the feeling of first seeing Transformers. Childhood memories
6:33 Even Swindle wants to know if she’s alright.
"Every Combaticon has a soft side..." (cues 80's power ballad)
He is trying to sell the hospital new equipment
It was streetwise
@@chrisedwards3214 well yeah. But if you look at 6:33 there is an animation error, Swindle is with the Autobots.
One of the funniest animation errors imo
Too little too late to bring back Optimus Prime.
Transformers was never the same after the movie. 😔
The stories were BETTER in season 3.
People judge because of the animation quality.
But they are wrong about season 3 as a whole.
Its actually really good.
@@alphatrion100 also it wasn't all bad, some of the animation in season 3 was fantastic.
Co-written by Marv Wolfman, writer of the DC Comics classic "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
Some really great leadership from Rodimus in this way. The strike team assemble team was bad ass.
I think one of the highlights of Season 3 would have to be its action soundtrack. Mix of techno and rock.
late 80s cocaine rock
the voice of Cyclonus in this episode was done by Jack Angel....this episode was done on March 2, 1987...roughly about 3 and a half months after the death of Roger C. Carmel who voiced Cyclonus in Transformers: The Movie and throughout Season 3 up until his death on November 11, 1986
Carmel was also the voices of Motor Master and Bruticus.
@@WhisperingOaks118 yes he was
love how bruticus was barely taller then the rest of the Decepticons in this
doesn't beat the episode where Hotspot was fighting alongside defensor! lol
@@Lazrael32 what's the name of that episode I need to see that
@@Z_The_ Carnage in C Minor. on top of having a TON of animation and scale errors, it also has some pretty darned annoying "alien" voices. In my opinion it's the worst episode of the entire series.
@@Lazrael32 ah ok and thanks
@@Z_The_ sure no problem. good luck. It's tough to sit through.
I wish Robert Stack kept voicing Ultra Magnus
I remember back in very late 86 coming home from school and putting on my TV to watch the season 3 episode for that day. The Transformers series was on Monday-Friday, for season 3 and season 2. I think Season 1 started off on Sunday mornings only back in 84. Anyway to make my point, I remember putting on the TV to watch the Season 3 episode for that day. Think it was either "Dark Awakening" or "Ghost in the Machine". Not to certain, were talking 35 years ago. But what I do remember was during the second set of ads on this season 3 episode which I was watching, came a little "teaser trailer" featuring Optimus Prime, saying "Heroes Never Die. I Optimus Prime can never be conquered!". I remember screaming "Fuck Yeah" the first time I saw that teaser trailer.
OMG! I remember that line, too! It was epic 35 years ago and is still epic today!
At the time, this eleven year old girl was in awe! Speechless! :)
9:21 - that weird head bop thing always freaked me out
Haha. Yeah. Same. I thought that was funny and weird.
This season states Optimus was built by the Quintessons but it’s also implied that it was Alpha Trion who created him. So the Quintessons programmed Alpha Trion to do it? Ultimately in G1 they were all reliant on a Quintesson made supercomputer to achieve consciousness before some continuities invented Cold Construction.
It wasn't until season three that the Transformers became aware of who built them. The Quintessons built Orion Pax, who Alpha Trion rebuilt into Optimus Prime in season 2's "War Dawn."
i look at it this way in a way they did create prime well orion pax alpha trion i think just rebuilt orion paxes frame into optimus prime however i could be totaly wrong.
so wait, the Quintessons built the ancestors to the Autobots and Decepticons, so who made Vector Sigma ??? because Vector Sigma said "before Cybertron was, I was"
@@Wolffen51 The Quintessons did. He was built first and then they built Cybertron around him.
The Quinteson getting chased by Sharkticons, that's a classic.
Nice to see almost every combiner in this episode.
Galvatron: they've gone mad! This is no place for me!

Yeah this was when Hasbro sadly realized they made a terrible mistake in killing off Prime. By the time they brought him back, it was too late to save the series.
one of the best Rodimus roll calls are in this episode.
Actually Ultra Magnus did the roll call.

This is actually how COVID started. Also, Ultra Magnus wasn't really infected. He's been wanting to tell Rodimus how he really felt for years.

I had one transformer which i can't remember the name of (a grey small truck or something with heat sensitive autobot stickers) and one vhs which was this story. This got so much play. Always loved the story of hot rod - prime running through this. One of the best character arcs in the whole series. 😁🤘
