Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 3 | E03 | Hasbro Pulse
In their attempt to destroy the Autobots, the Quintessons decide to ally with the Decepticons to complicate matters. Meanwhile, Rodimus and his friends end up on an unknown planet called Goo after the Quintessons destroyed their own homeworld of Quintessa. But what the Decepticons don't know is that their new allies are planning to betray them once they destroy the Autobots.

So anyone noticed this heart-warming moment when Blizwing meet Galvatron? Smile on Bliz face,Galvatron call him a comrade unlike Cyclone,hand on his shoulder. Heck,they even start to play happy music
Aww
Blitzwing is a russian mig fighter jet, Galv calle him comrade
Yeah, they greet eachother like friends. It's super cute.
@@martaswatek4157 Assuming you follow the belief that Galvatron is basically just Megatron with the same memories and personality as he always did (minus the brain gitches) he's been working with Blitzwing for at least 20 years at this point. Cyclonus meanwhile was a recent convert and he was made from Bombshell, one of the guys Megatron rarely liked much.
@@bob1986 yeah
"Very well then, let us chuckle" *quietly chuckles*
Best Quintesson moment ever.
Possibly my favorite line from the entire series.
My friends and I used to say this all the time.
💀💀💀
I believe everyone like that line 😂😂
Seeing Galvatron greet someone in a kind way was surprising actually. It made me like him a bit more.
Especially given how Megatron could be at times, it shows how he is similar as Galvatron, BUT still different enough too.
Always liked this episode because it showed the Decepticons *can* function without a strong figurehead or definitive Leader. They turn to Swindle for negotiations, Motormaster is able to rally them, Onslaught fittingly questions if the Quintessons have a strategy - even a rank and file 'Con like Dead End has his voice heard. Aside from the glaring animation errors, moments like this, the scale and stakes, & that it set the stage for Season 3 as a whole is why the Five Faces of Darkness storyline is not just a standout of Season 3, but of the whole G1 series.
Very good point, as it speaks to the characters' strengths as you have detailed!
Frank welker was a genius for switching from insane galvatron to rhyming like wheelie
word
Galvatron called blitzwing comrade soon as he met him he didn't even greet cyclonus and the sweeps like that when they saved him
Megatron and blitzwing fought together in the war which was why galvs greeted him as comrade when he seen him
Galvs might have been crazy but he still had his memories
That said, originally Blitzwings part was going to be Shockwave which would make even more sense to why Galvatron greeted him so warmly. The writers often were forced to swap characters around depending on what toy was being sold, and usually didn't bother to alter things much.
@@MrSniperfox29 yes shockwave would have made more sense dille was told to change characters
Since shockwave toy was given the axe shockers was supposed to die in the movie
Megatron, thundercracker and skywarp and starscream died in the movie like they was supposed to
Shockwave was one of Megatron's first troops and was created the same time he was which explains their friendship plus shockwave was one of the few cons Megatron respected besides soundwave
I feel Blitzwing would of helped with Galvatron’s insanity and possibly brought the Autobots and Deceptions together again.
Blitzwing knew something wasn't right. He even seemed favored by Galvatron. I always felt that the writers had a fondness for Blitzwing. In the movie he was the only Decepticon to avoid Optimus' barrage at Autobot city. Unfortunate that Octane(whom i actually like) took his place in the following season.
The reason why they did that because the plan was for him to be exiled from the Decepticons. And then after that it was meant for him to be hunted down.
But they decided to go with octane the other triple changer instead to push his toy. So this was a way to put him in the Forefront
-Galvatron, save me!
-Please meet your end with dignity. I despise whiners!
-Noooooooo...
You could actually get away with scenes like this in kids cartoons in the '80s.
Who cared about a random sweep dying plus there was enough sweeps to go around
Um, Blurr disintegrated in Cyberverse. Modern era.
@@SneezyD should have seen how he died on animated
Galvatron ripped his head off and showed him rodimus
In Prime in '13, Airachnid ran the human Silas through with her razor-sharp appendages.
@@chrisedwards3214 Galvatron wasn't in Animated. What are you talking about? I saw him get cubed though.
Whoever decided to put Wheelie and Blurr together as a team deserves to be shot.
Argh. My ears hurt.
At least we get a lot of Galvatron in this episode. 😎
HAHAHAHAHA
Ratchet and Ironhide would have probaly knocked blurr out
Optimus had a way of dealing with troops he found annoying like keeping cosmos busy in space and keeping seasprsy out at sea
And keeping the dinobots locked up until.he needed them
Optimus would have found something to keep blurr and wheelie busy
i think they make a good team lol
my thoughts exactly
"Argh. My ears hurt" was probably the very reason they were send off planet as a team. 😅
Poor Soundwave, he used to be Megatron's right hand man.
Would've totally had Shockwave and Soundwave follow Galvatron around S3. Nothing against Cyclonus and Scourge but f it, gimme Galvatron's science officer and comms officer and run wild stealing all of space's energy
Galvatron would basically be a pirate captain, which is rad imho
@@thepolarphantasm2319 shockers was cancelled
Soundwaves the side piece now
@@thepolarphantasm2319 Shockwave died in the movie I think
@@anseinueseima408yes he was scripted to die
He was supposed to die with Thundercracker and skywarp in the unicron battle
Cyclonus and scourge was supposed to. Have been recycled from generic seekers
21:42 Rodimus Prime: Autobots, stand perfectly still and maybe they'll keep missing us! 🤣😂
Stay perfectly still and we will be invisible
Nah I remember seeing a video and someone said “Keep still and they won’t see us”
One of the best written episodes if not the best. Criminally underrated due to animation errors. This is pure 80s goodies.
Galvatron greets Blitzwing as a "comrade", even putting his hand on Blitzwing's shoulder. Then, two episodes later, after Blitzwing intervenes when Rodimus and Galvatron are about to fight, Galvatron considers him a traitor. Man. At least Blitzwing returns sometime during the Ultimate Weapon.
Blitzwing is exiled (granted voluntarily because he won't join the Autobots) despite him being completely correct
@@MrSniperfox29 galvatron truly has lost it
Animation error in ultimate weapon that was cyclonus
Galvatron: Disintegrates a planet with a single cannon shot
Also Galvatron: Shoots Cyclonus a few times
Edit: Also at 17:20 Bruticus is standing next to the combaticons... ?
Yeah season 3 is where the errors really start to ramp up unfortunately.
His gun mode is a lot more stronger the the regular robot mode gun
Don’t forget Wheelie takes a blast from as well and has a burnt knee.
I always just thought it was because these guys were more powerful than planet disintegrating beams
17:23 mini Briticus 😂😂😂 classic !!!
I was looking for this comment. Mini Bruticus is standing behind the robot modes of his body parts, all in one shot.
The animation errors from G1 are all great.
@@Trailminer in Season 3 its insanely funny !!!
So nobody gonna question an autobot few seconds later in group of the decepticons?
Swindle be like: um... why is he here?
Blast off: shh... pretend he isn't there?
Vortex: who isn't there? I don't see anyone.
Blast off: exactly me neither. Do you see anyone, Brawl?
Brawl: Nope
Vortex: what about you, boss?
Onslaught: no. Not a strange thing at all, certainly not bruticus despite us being combined.
Rip jack.angel voice of ultra magnus-astrotrain-smokescreen- ramjet- omega supreme- arcana- and took over cyclonus when roger xc Carmel died
Galvatron seems strangely nice when meeting Blitzwing again
Then turned on him and banished him for saving his life showed you how bipolar galvs really waa
@@chrisedwards3214 It makes sense when you realise that Blitzwing was originally going to be Shockwave
@@MrSniperfox29 yes it does
Only Blitzwing is wise enough to know the deception of Quintessons
And he's 1 of the dumbest Decepticons.
@@cjparks7881hes the only Decepticon to realize going up was easier to avoid Optimus running him over. And he was the only successful one in Triple Takeover. One of the smartest for sure
@@toyanthaog5109 so you think it was smart for Blitzwing to tell the Constructicons to build a bridge & jump up off it??
@@cjparks7881that was a insultb
8:22There we saw one sweep ascend his dominance by T-posing
2:41 I like how there is still a lot of Hot Rod in Rodimus. He is more lighthearted leader, than Optimus. Maybe this what autobots needed a lot after war. Optimus was almost prayed on, but Rodimus seemed to be more easier to talk and hang out.
I don't care what anyone says cuz I liked Blurr cuz of his fast talking and being voiced by the Micro Machines guy. I used to listen to what he says and then try to say it as fast as he does.
Hey, Blurr is cool but putting him with Wheelie is like putting Ice Cream on vomit - it's nice alone but mix it in with crap and you get Vomit Cream, and nobody wants Vomit Cream.
Blurr is cool but he becomes SUPER annoying when put with any other character with a verbal tic, and Wheelie is the worst verbal tic of them all.
Blurr is comic relief.
6:10 And Wheelie breaks into the ship's helium supply.
"Relax, enjoy the ride" The kind of leader the Autobots needed after such a very looong time of this war between the two factions, just chill.
17:20 lil bruticus
He's just chilling with the rest of the combatico- wait-
Blurr and wheelie, a comic duo
They make me want to rip my ears off
I distinctly remember being absolutely horrified as a kid seeing Springer being torn to pieces like that 14:00
This makes me miss Ratchet, Brawn, Ironhide, and the other dead Autobots even more.
why's that?
You would want them in animation as bad as AKOMs offerings?
To quote Morgan Freeman... "Good luck."
(And to be fair because it's AKOM, Brawn did get to show up in an episode. Ironhide sort of did in Headmasters as well but let's not mention that. In fact the only two Transformers who died on Autobot side in the movie who never show up in Japanese or Season 3 again are basically Huffer and Ratchet, so 🤷♂️ )
@@JeremiahEcks777 , actually those Autobots ( Brawn, ironhide, Prowl, etc) all did show up in AKOM animated episodes.
Akom did 3 eps from season 2...The Core, City of Steel, and The Autobot Run.
@@dogma9609 True, and they were totally the best episodes of Season 2, eh? 😆 Joking aside, you're right.
I stand by my point. Better dead and meaningful than alive and have to go through Five Faces of Darkness.
@@JeremiahEcks777 , Akom jacked up the animation...but would u like FFOD if the animation company that did Call of the primitives did it?
11:49 Pretty sure this is the only time besides the recap of Episode 1 back in Episode 2 where Ted Schwartz voices Rodimus. Very strange that they replaced him.
blurr and wheelie are the best duo lol
it gets better when you put them with blaster
fight me
edit: i dont understand why the three are getting so much hate- they all function well together and i think its kinda funny how both wheelie and blaster rhyme almost every word, and how blurr is always talking fast and always rambling
they are so annoying
that's their entire gimmick -- they are annoying
maybe they kick ass together but they're so annoying I'm gonna fast forward past it just to not hear them talk
@@tsm688 i genuinely think theyre both amazing on their own and together, idk but i just love them
probably because ive grown up with an annoying brother and nephews, but idk
17:19 you can see all the combaticons plus a regular bot sized bruticus
The five faces of darkness were originally part of TFTM and due to length was excised from it and became the forerunner to season 3.
21:39 some weird Shockwave & Constructicon hybrid 😂
Shockblast 😳
G1 Nitro Zeus ?
I have it !!! I think this" valuable" and "impressive " construction hybrid is a mix of Bonecrusher and Shockwave , and I call it : Crusherwave !!!
He’s a Hollywood on set extra. Poor guy never got credit for this role 😂
17:19 mini bruticus is SO CUTE
Mini bruticus oh no
Still not as bad as an all blue Optimus prime.
Mini Bruticus looks so innocent. He wouldn't hurt a fly.😇
17:20 all the combaticons standing next to bruticus
gotta love animation errors like that lmao
LMAO...and what makes it even worse he is short
How the hell dir that happen?
LOL Bruticus standing next to the Combaticons, the same size! Crack City...
Hey Rodimus has grown on me as someone I'd like to hang out with but @3:40 I sure would miss Optimus.
Rodimus the kind of guy who would rather be partying anyway you can tell
He had to fit in his role I'm quite sure it took Optimus a long time to fit in his role
I like Rodimus a lot. Optimus is a bit too perfect a leader to the point of being a cliche.
Love the sound of Galvatrons gun in this episode second only to optimus primes gun.
9:19 “Oh no!” 😂
I'm surprised that none of Blurr's fellow Autobots tried to frag him.
At least Marissa told him to shut up! I love it! He was sooo annoying carrying on like that making everything worse!
@@jessenavarrete8505 there were so, so many irritating characters in the season 3, post-movie lineup! Wheelie, Blurr, Rodimus, that Han Solo clone, Trypticon... Even Grimlock :(
@@jessenavarrete8505 chromedome shit him up in rebirth lol
@@SuperMookles wheelie was useless really his intro in the movie and what he have as a weapon a slingshot
Whats a slingshot gonna do
Even though the autobots was weaker in season 1 they fought Even the medic ratchet fought
Bumblebee was a good spy but wasn't strong prime used his talents to full advantage of the autobot army
Wheelie just plain sucked
@@jessenavarrete8505 pipes did too in part 5
17:20 This is one of the most cursed images in Transformers History. It’s up there with Shockwave holding himself in Gun mode.
Sooooo were not gonna talk about how they flew out of control from space for hrs and all Rodumus Pansy can say is enjoy the ride?
Sounds like welker and Sue blu took turns voicing wheelie in this episode
Anybody else asking themselves why didn't the aerialbots form Superion and fly them off after the explosion?
It was explained in an earlier episode: energon deficiency.
3:11 megatron voice
Yeah I noticed that too
There voiced by the same person
@@Toucan101 Galvatron had some audio error in s3 its like its trying to switch to megatrons voice instead of high pitch voice
14:02 Hot Rod from the movie would never say that about a fallen comrade let alone a friend. The difference in characterization and writing is so jarring.
Rodimus is generally the universe's largest a55hole. He's constantly naval gazing ("Oh I'M not as great as Optimus! Woe is ME!") therefore managing to somehow make everything about him. His attitude here to Springer is a bit all over the place. In Fight or Flee an entire planet is blown up, their culture and history lost, and the survivors have just sacrificed their principles to defend themselves. There has just been planet wide death... and Rodimus' response to all of this is *insult* the Paradronians!
Finally in the Japanese continuity, Cybertron blows up on his watch. Alongside the Autobot survivors who could use support of the Matrix Bearer... Rodimus decides to run off with Kup and Blurr on a boy's road trip (he also tells Arcee, who asks to come along to get lost). I know Rodimus said he's going to find a new planet but why does it have to be him who goes and not maybe one of the the space faring Autobots?
Seriously. He's one of the worst Autobots ever.
(I think he's great actually but when he's written like this, he does have to be contender for worst Autobot leader ever, including Marvel US Grimlock)
There should be a page or thread listing all the times he's an a55hole.
(Just want to point out that whilst he is a bit of a git... he's pound for pound one of the most successful leaders. Under his watch the Autobots retake Cybertron and in the main manage to keep Galvatron, the most powerful Decepticon, at bay. Even when Cybertron is eventually blown up in Japanese continuity it's hard to see how he could have stopped that. And in US continuity his good leadership allows Optimus to come back, to hold the ship steady to revitalise Cybertron. Frankly Rodimus is underrated)
So, is Wheelie the only Autobot to kill a Decepticon on camera in the entire series (not including the movie)?
If you call killing a sweep a accomplishment than yes
That depends on whether or not you count generics. Slag melted a few of Shockwave's minions in "Desertion of the Dinobots," and Optimus gunned down a lot of Megatron's troops in "War Dawn."
17:20 I love how Bruticus is standing next to the combaticons in the same size as a normal Decepticon.
17:54 One of the Aerialbots is sitting with the Decepticons.
21:39 I never knew there was a green Shockwave.
Funny around 17:55 I think I saw an aerialbot sitting among among the decepticons. :)
Nobody's perfect
@@mewmew2722 never said they were perfect. Anyway I still love Transformers G1.
He wanted to hang out with them for the day
What is Aerialbot Fireflight doing hanging out with the Decepticons???
3:15 a raw form of TF Prime's Ground bridge.
I found it hard to take the Quintessons as an intelligent threat after they blew up their own planet.
They had other planets
Same . They must have super parasitic abilities to adapt to any environment .
21:39 i can't belife you hasbro, green shock wave
21:39 Shockwave he’s alive!
9:17 What the heck is that random slowed down voice in the background saying "Oh no"?
Oh man here we go again is it film damage or an oddity let's find out
Okay that's very weird I just checked. it's not even the same quality as the rest of the audio.
Some producer's reaction to this animation? "Ohh-no-no, ohhhh nooo... Noo! Ohhhhhnoooo..."🤣
17:36 Is Blitzwing 12 million years old? Why doesn’t he look old, like Alpha Trion?
Lots of tfs are millions of years old i
You have to look at it like I did blitzwing and the cons visited many different planets and dealt with aliens over the years so yes blitzwing could have dealt with them or had run ins and bring in the war full time he probably forgot who they was
Kup didn't remember the quints either so he must have been built after they left Cybertron
@@chrisedwards3214 [nod]
Blitzwing was one of the Quintesson's Overcharge units many eons ago, which is why he is the only Decepticon to recognize them and distrust them
Hasbro needs to release a green Shockwave.
G1 shockblast😳
Hasbro doesn't own the molds to produce Shockwave. It's a different company. But before G1 Shockwave. The company that does own him. Did produce a green and purple Shockwave in the late 1970s and early 80s.
17:20. Oh come on! 🙄😆
GALVATRON, SAVE MEEEEEEEE!!!!
"You let yourself get shot by WHEELIE...you deserve your fate!!" 😈
How could be in 17:19 Combaticons and mini Bruticus 🤣
They were just.......there.
Galvatron: I Think They Underestimate My Power!
17:55 Fireflight decided to switch sides
Rodimus prime is so cool and charismatic
So, while Rodimus is chil-laxing in space, Galvatron is obliterating an untold number of humans; yes, he's a much better leader than Optimus 🙄🙄
21:30 albino Starscream joins and Shockwave becomes a Constructicon
17:58 A callback from the movie
I like how all the decepticons are hiding in a hole when the quintissons come and dead end just accepts his fate then proceeds to call out swindle and he whispers "first see if we can trust them taste one of the energon cubes" and then they all come out running for the energon is hilarious
The animation errors in these episodes are so bad they're almost comical.
That's AKOM for you. They got lots of work this season...and it showed.
you know i think Rumble is Smaller in MEGATRON'S ERA but in GALVATRON'S Era he's bigger like the other deciptons
Animation era
Nah, it's just a daft mistake in this episode. That's AKOM for you.
13:59 When I saw that as a kid, it shocked the hell out of me. I thought Springer was dead for good.
2:40 why in the name of Optimus is no one talking about this
"I don't want to be doomed, know what I mean?" - G1 Blurr S3 Ep 03
🤣
(Galvatron) AFTER THEM SWEEPS! BRING ME THERE HEADS, AS SOUVENIR!!!!!
The Transformers should be somewhat aware that the Quintessons are their creator's.
Alpha Trion was aware maybe optimus if he would have lived long enough
@@chrisedwards3214 Remember that seen when the Quintesson told Rodimun Prime he was not programmed for self sacrifice.🤣
@@ryanthompsonthompson820 yes that should have gave Roddy a clue
@@ryanthompsonthompson820 alpha Trion reminded optimus he created him
How? They stopped being slaves millions of years ago, before Optimus was even created. Only Alpha Trion was old enough to remember. I am sure the older generations didn't want the younger gens to know that they were slaves.
17:23 love how bruticus is there
Sorry Blitzwing stayed behind for galvatron.
Why is this the only episode in the entire series with an opening specifically tailored for it?
this opening was the opening for the entire Five Faces of Darkness when it first premiered on television back in 86. when this went to DVD, they screwed up, and only put this opening for this episode for some odd reason.
@@dogma9609 Wow! That's really interesting, thanks for the knowledge!
Maybe because it was the only five-parter
Cartoons before school made many kids late .
Perhaps a quiet chuckle lol. @10:10
17:54 Slingshot always wanted to be a decepticon. Traitor finally got his wish😂😂
17:52 Why is there a Aerialbots with Decepticons
17:18 Smol Bricus/Tinicus with the Combaticons lol!
This episode marks the debut of Melissa Fairborn. The daughter of both Flint & Lady Jaye from G.I.Joe.
17:20 what is TINY BRUTICUS doing on the background when the combaticons arent merged and an Aerialbot Slingshot on 17:55?
Starscream’s ghost is firing at the Autobots alongside the other Decepticons at 21:32 and we get green Shockwave at 21:39 😂😂😂
is there anyone like me who don't remember this version of opening credits...? i always remembered season 3 opening credits to start with the unicron head that one... i do remember season 1 and season 2's opening credits too...
I dont remember this also
Same here i cant remember this opening intro
I remember it opening up with unicorn head
The 5 faces had a different opening to the rest of series 3
I remember this opening. Was used for the Five Faces of Darkness minseries.
If u hate wheelie then you will.really hate him in headmasters
Daniel more tolerable in season 3 and rebirth than in headmasters
For species who consider themselves masterminds, the quintesons are quite incompetent.
15:01 i feel a bit terrible for the guy. 😭
The poor Autobots got bounced around through space like ping pong balls all episode!
Megatron never recovered after his loss....
Did you know that the actress who plays Lindsey Pierce and Stormer on Jem and the Holograms also played Arcee on the Transformers? Wow that's awesome memories of our childhood days!
I didn't know that.
Same here.
Wikipedia has a lot of information about our favorite movies and TV shows that we grew up watching.
@@shandraallen2644 And IMDB.
Susan Blu has also done voice direction work on cartoons as well.
17:20
Bruticus with his combiners???
Wow the intro looks awesome
There's a funny animation error at 18:46 . 😁
@ 17:53 aerialbot
I noticed
17:22 there are 2 set of combaticon
How come this intro came on different than the rest of season 3s intro?
2:32 Broadside just abruptly dies
So the EDC was formed as a planetary response of the Autobot City invasion?
Hasbro plz look back at these episodes and flesh out many nameless characters, it would be awesome see them appear more often in other TF media’s
Sunstorm, Acid Storm, Ion Storm, Nova Storm, Hotlink, Bitstream, Nacelle... that's just some but there are loads. The white Seeker looks awesome, and I've always liked the Crosscut coloured Jazz concept from Desertion of the Dinobots.
@@metal_fusion That green Seeker needs to be a thing. It's gorgeous.
@@metal_fusion Waspinator.
...
...
What? He's green as well? 😎😇
@@JeremiahEcks777
Waspinator already has toy figures of him
@@metal_fusion Of course, but looking back at the comment I think I was being facetious and trying to figure out a green coloured character who can fly just to throw a name onto. That's a very Hasbro thing to do, especially with Beast Wars! (Look it's Silverbolt! Or Silverbolt! And it's Lazorbeak... and Megatron!)
I don't think, from the ellipse I was purposely overusing, I was meant to be serious! 🤭
Here's another thought: who or what created the Quintessons?
If season four continued we would have probably found out
@@chrisedwards3214 Had season four continued it would've had the Quintessons team up with Unicron and combining their efforts against the transformers
In the aligned continuity Quintus Prime (one of the 13 Original Primes) is said to be the one to be able to create all forms of life, even the Quintessons. And Quintus Prime was created by Primus himself.
