It shows the autobots look out for 1 another. The decepticons, as Hound said in 1 of the pilot episodes, "They don't care about anyone, not even their own."
So the real reason the G1 cartoon is remembered fondly is this. A multi-part story in which the Decepticons had a cohesive plan (even though really, REALLY nerfed to be appropriate for kids) was both perfectly evil and competent. The Autobots all had individual personalities, and Optimus Prime was established as a leader. (HOW could executives have thought his toy was disposable for the 1986 movie after doing this?) Credit to Flint Dille, who had been writing Dungeons and Dragons, who understood the importance of differentiated personalities and alignment charts, etc. The story is iconic for the series. Megatron always has complicated plans, etc., and the Autobots have to stop him. I'd say it was the most well-thought out screenplay of the G1 cartoon. It's why it was better than other cartoons, and the comics never quite had this depth. (Even with Starscream acting like a six year-old.)
It is, though, why Optimus Prime's death in the movie was such an impactful moment for children of my generation. I still remember how quiet and contemplative I was coming out of the theater.
Would've been better if the female autobots and the rainmakers made a quick return during the Cybertron battle. But to think this had more "realism" in Cybertron causing catastrophic gravitational damage, than even Michael's Bayformers w/Dark of the Moon and The Last Knight w/Cybertron at Earth's (or Unicron's) doorstep twice.

3:43 is one of the funniest G1 Transformers moments of all time for me. Wasn't even supposed to be funny. The way those two decepticons (who look like Starscream and Thundercracker) are just unwittingly blown away from behind that door. 🤣
Fun fact: Bluestreak, Cliffjumper, Teletran 1 and Dr. Arkerville we’re all voiced by the same person, Casey Kasem the same person who did Shaggy’s voice in the original Scooby Doo series from 1969!
And all the deceptions (save for Starscream, Thundercracker, the camera trio, and Shockwave) were voiced by Frank Welker, who has voiced Fred Jones since 1959 and up to the 10s!
Every single time I see Wheeljack, I always remember somebody on TFW2005 boards (back in the early 2000s) saying "he's got a slinky for a mouth, and he talks with his ears." Now, 22 years later, it's still hilarious. 😆
3:44 to 4:52 is the best animated part of the whole episode. 5:56 I present to you, Bluestreak's moment that made him such a lovable dork. 15:33 And now, one of the creepiest cliffhangers in the whole show, as well as one of the best.

Because all the people who made all these old great shows are retired or dead, and the new people who replaces them aren't as good at making great cartoons simple as that.
Brawn is totally Badass in this Series it was 😥 Sad seeing him get killed first in the Transformers Movie (1986). Brawn is one of my Favorites Autobot.
@@henrybierman8431 The G1 cartoon was produced by Marvel. Marvel had the comic book rights to both Transformers AND Star Wars at the time so I guess Marvel also had access to the Star Wars sound effects.
Megatron: "He is of no further use to me" he says of Dr. Arkeville. Several minutes later says "I want the slaves to work faster. Where is Dr. Arkeville?" Megatron seems really concerned about the whereabouts of a human he earlier said was of no further use to him. Not to mention the fact he doesn't seem to notice Dr. Arkeville after discovering Starscream's treachery.
Still less humiliating than Megatron’s defeat in this episode being brought about by the kid who’s father he had kidnapped and mind-screwed two episodes prior (20:04).

Brawn and Skyfire were the heroes in this 3-part series. Brawn despite being a smaller bot managed to take out Soundwave and 3 other larger bots while Skyfire took out the lasers and bested Shockwave in a one-one fight.
Starscream: Megatron! Megatron: and the penalty for mutiny is termination (Why aren't there any new villains like Megatron or Skeletor, or even Mumm-Ra? I mean there are a few good new villains, but still though 🤷.)
The two Decepticon cars pursuing Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Trailbreaker, & Brawn on Cybertron could be Runaround & Runamuck from the G1 Season 3 Episode Ghost In The Machine.

I love these old g1 cartoons thank you
“I don’t take so easy” that was one of my favorite lines from thr whose series
Starscream: Megatron!
Megatron: and the penalty for mutiny is termination
(Why aren't there any new villains like Megatron or Skeletor, or even Mumm-Ra? I mean there are a few good new villains, but still though 🤷.)
17:45 Some say he's actually been faceless this whole time and he's just been using a hologram.
Megatron’s has insane durability.
The two Decepticon cars pursuing Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Trailbreaker, & Brawn on Cybertron could be Runaround & Runamuck from the G1 Season 3 Episode Ghost In The Machine.
19:49 Thundercracker's holy T-Pose transformation. INSERT ANGELIC MUSIC HERE
Shockwave: “you cannot get out.” Blows hole in the wall. Jetfire: “I can now.” Rockets away.
i love the fact that humans are actually use full and i am sad that i never experienced this epicness
but now i can witness happiness (i only watched the movies and the primeverse)
Is it just me or does this group of episodes seem like a good plot for a classic DooM WAD? (Ironically, this is called The Ultimate Doom.)
Do elaborate
@@doomchap7614 He is referring to the video game called Doom. People made customised versions of doom. Simpsons Doom is good example.
Bruh, this actually sounds awesome
The ultimate doom was the best three episodes. I had the vhs as a kid.
8:22 that's no tidal wave, it's a tsunami!
4:08 "Uh oh, trouble upstairs!"
4:12 "That's my specialty."
Uhhhh... can't possibly be only me who got that phrase wrong right?
Could you get it wrong as
Skyfire OWNED the Decepticons on Cybertron.
"Arkeville is of no further use"
A bit later
"We need Arkeville where is he?"
Better three-parter than Dark of the Moon
"You sure I can't convince you for the magazine subscription" is the funniest (intentionally) line in the whole series.
17:46 Anyone else notice Prowl’s face disappearing?
I Noticed That.
I pointed it out, but I didn't know the bots name
Rare to see Soundwave ordering a bunch of Seekers.
14:00 - 14:29 everything in this part are beautiful: the song (but i have a question what's the name of this pretty song), the father's moral about peoples we love and the hug between Spike and the dad.
"We now return into transformers" chilly quote
My favorite G1 episode. It has everything that made the series great.
