This episode inspired an early version of one of my OCs. A disabled human who was ahead of his time created a cybertronian body and transferred his mind and memories into it and became the Transformer Railbuster. He then attacked Starscream and the Seekers before meeting up with the Autobots. Also, his vehicle mode is a train like Astrotrain, a 4-6-4T Steam Locomotive based off of CN #47 from Steamtown.

It's like on the one hand, this whole idea of Frankenstein-esque Autobot parts is very disturbing to him, but on the other, he sees the value of the project for saving lives. After all, Wheeljack is the mad scientist here, and is said to injure himself with his own experiments.

This was the first episode of the original Transformers cartoon I had seen after taking an interest in the franchise thanks to the 2007 movie. This takes me back in that summer of 2007 when I dug into the internet for robots in disguise.

@@CasualNickname oh come on It fitted the narrative and let's be honest How the hell were the autobots supposed to know that this is what they were talking about? You didn't get a description of what was on before you turned it on you just pick a channel and enjoy what was on back in the 80s.
@@arbetor12 As for fitting the narrative...fair enough. But plot-wise, Wheeljack was literally right there, watching and listening with him. The minute he started hearing the conversation between Frankenstein and his assistant, and all the things they were saying, he should’ve been smart enough to realize that Spike should *not* be hearing this right now, and he should probably turn the movie off, or try to distract Spike.
They should redo the whole series again but with bigger budget. Hire japanese animators to update it. Eg soundwave should not be a cassette anymore and megatron should just be a tank not a pistol. Then update the look of the G1 characters in line with Transformers Bumblebee look (which was an "updated G1 look with way more detail"). People who are fans of G1 can then finally get a story that isn't told with episode out of order and that can replace the cartoon as the canon. In this new G1 re-telling, they can combine some of the stuff from the marvel comics into the series. It would sell DVD/Blueray/4KUHD Blurays by the truckload. Give them a huge budget. And release toys based on this new cartoon. What do you think? Call it "Transformers G1 ver 2.0"
@@ganados0 I looked at the toys and they look bad compared to Siege/earthrise/kingdom toys. I mean a TRUE reimagining of the G1 that looks as good as the toys in the Studio series 86 line. Got it? Toy guys want to see this. The Gundam model kits guys always get updated versions of old Univeral Century mecha. That's what I want for G1. Use expensive 3D cg if they wish like Transformers prime. (Prime is still the best big budget TF toon but I want something better since we are now in 2021) Have you seen the animation in Macross Frontier with its CG mecha battles? That's what I want in TF G1 reimagining.
@@conorburke1999 But megatron in that is a nihilistic dude who even lets optimus kill him by telling him to "get over it and just pull the trigger". No thanks I don't accept the depressed version of megatron that won't fight back. I see Megatron as a cunning bond villain that always has a backup plan to escape if he is losing and optimus is bound by knightly code to not kill unless its a last resort (like batman) which creates the excuse for letting him go so the autobots can focus on repairing their buddies and being good medics instead of pursuing the bad guys and placing them into robot prison. Maybe it's not what younger kid like but it made you respect megatron a lot more because he isn't mentally ill and like a pirate character is always thinking of how to steal things to gain power. The new toons I think were influenced by the grumpy megatron from Transformers Animated too much. The power hungry maniac of G1 is the definitive version. A combination of the joker in batman comics with a bit of darth vader. (ie being overpowered and too strong for other villains to kill him) As much as I like the WFC netflix robot designs, I think they went too far into making everyone a brooding Batman gothic style character that is depressed and weary of fighting. This gives the story a feeling of doom when in fact autobots who fight for righteous causes is how they justify their existence. If you make them all generic civilians reacting to death it becomes evangelion. I don't want evangelion. I watch enough japanese mecha shows to want another story preaching to me about war is bad. LOL I come to TF for fun.
I remember Glut saying that of all the episodes he wrote, he was the happiest with how this one came out. I'm quite partial to it myself, despite some weird close-ups every now and then.
This seems like a metaphor on a family member or friend going on a dark path from drugs or mental illness or falling in with a bad crowd and his Real Friends and Family trying to save him, Pretty deep.

Well sometimes they needed the human characters because they helped in getting other non combatants out of the area. Also thanks to headmaster technology we see how much help human characters can be.
When Spike said he was a monster all I could think of was IDW Megatron's whole speech to Ravage about "If the world thinks you're a monster, who cares? The world is wrong. But when you start to think of yourself as a monster..." and I feel like it's perfectly applicable here
I like how Megatron gets the idea to turn Spike against the Autobots. Very opportunistic! Love how Starscream starts to undermine Megatron over his plan. Though unlike the Autobots, the Decepticons had no problem using lethal force against Spike.

I always love the irony in how there's a transformer which can conveniently transform into exactly what they need, yet they somehow run into endless issues i.e. optimus prime flying in one scene then rolling down a mountain as a truck in the next 🤣
I'm surprised at how well Spike can control the body as is. I feel for most, it would be hard to even stand with a heavier body plus the different weight distribution and new functions in the body.
We can control robot movement with left n right hemispheres of the brain. Also with brain controlled muscle impulses cybernetic limbs can be controlled.
This episode would later on become an important one for historic reasons in the Transformers G1 canon as it would mark the beginning of placing a human mind in a robot which would later on lay down the foundations for the concept that we would all know as the Headmasters, Spike himself would go on to play an even bigger role as he was instrumental in helping to create Fortress Maximus at the end of the show's final episodes.
Wheeljack: I want you to relax and not think about your situation of being stuck in a frankenstein robot body. Here, let me put on a movie that won't remind you of it at all... Autobot Spike: Well he's not wron- SOYOUHAVECHOSENDEATH!!!!11!!!!!
Remember the scenes in Robocop 2 where the prototype cyborgs malfunctioned and became deranged? Yeah, the writers of that movie were influenced by Autobot Spike.
I only ever watched up to the end of Season 1 of Transformers G1, along with a few Season 2 episodes here and there. So being able to watch the whole thing is a definite enjoyment for me
That last line by Bumblebee wondering what a robot mind would be like transferred to a human mind........well we all found out the following season in "Only Human".
If I had a nickle for every time I've seen Bumblebee get shot causing the human riding inside of him to come out severely worse for wear, I'd have two nickels.

21:52 Bubblebee pretty much missed out on that misadventure like 2 decades later LOL.
Me at season 1; cool, wait only 16 episode ? Is this a bug ?
Me now for season 2; 49 FREAKING ÉPISODE ???????
That's what I'm wondering
Bcuz after 49 there's still more episodes..... Why did hasbro pulse only add 49 out of how ever many episodes total???
Lol Brawn kick Soundwave's butt flying to the rocket is kinda hilarious. That's minibots for sure 😌
The Autobots are surprisingly cool with humans using the dead bodies of their friends for scientific research.
Out of all movies they could have showed Spike, they played Frankenstein
00:01:15 G1 Bumblebee: Franken What, Spike? 00:00:30 The Transformers.
Ya see Wheeljack your not the only mad scientist around here. If I was Spike I would start looking into mental hospitals for good old Dad.
Sparkplug's judgment has been compromised. A good dad in human form would keep in touch with fellow humans.
I'm surprised at how well Spike can control the body as is. I feel for most, it would be hard to even stand with a heavier body plus the different weight distribution and new functions in the body.
We can control robot movement with left n right hemispheres of the brain.
Also with brain controlled muscle impulses cybernetic limbs can be controlled.
The body already had data to go for for movement. The brain scan just utilizes it.
What a father he let his son brain to transfer to autobot x
Well it was the only way to have the doctors operate on Spike safely, any parent would do what they can to save their child even if it’s risky
4:36 Starscream always gives the best burns 😂
8:02 would have been a perfect time to schedule an ad lol
This episode would later on become an important one for historic reasons in the Transformers G1 canon as it would mark the beginning of placing a human mind in a robot which would later on lay down the foundations for the concept that we would all know as the Headmasters, Spike himself would go on to play an even bigger role as he was instrumental in helping to create Fortress Maximus at the end of the show's final episodes.
I always thought itd be cool to actually be a Transformer but after what Spike went through i dont know lol
Wheeljack: I want you to relax and not think about your situation of being stuck in a frankenstein robot body. Here, let me put on a movie that won't remind you of it at all...
Autobot Spike: Well he's not wron- SOYOUHAVECHOSENDEATH!!!!11!!!!!
I'm going to really miss hearing the S1 intro song before watching each of these. It's far more iconic.
Just do what I do and play it in a second window. lol
Yeh, I actually liked that one better :')
literally, especially when youre someone who used to constantly watch a dvd with s1 24/7 lol
Remember the scenes in Robocop 2 where the prototype cyborgs malfunctioned and became deranged? Yeah, the writers of that movie were influenced by Autobot Spike.
Do you think any of the writers eventually saw what the fandom did to the word spike and started regretting everything?
I only ever watched up to the end of Season 1 of Transformers G1, along with a few Season 2 episodes here and there. So being able to watch the whole thing is a definite enjoyment for me
That last line by Bumblebee wondering what a robot mind would be like transferred to a human mind........well we all found out the following season in "Only Human".
If I had a nickle for every time I've seen Bumblebee get shot causing the human riding inside of him to come out severely worse for wear, I'd have two nickels.
21:49 that was hilariously awkward 😂
I made it a point to myself to like every transformers video they release.
i still never got what happened to spike that had him rushed to the hospital? was it mostly internal damage he suffered?
It was left to the imagination. Seems like Spike didn’t wear a seatbelt and they didn’t even make a lesson out of it.
He should’ve wore a seatbelt. Hell, he shouldn’t have even been there in the first place. He’s just a flesh creature. •_•
@@konstantinkoverchenko9587 If you're gonna say it, say it like Megatron! " A Puny flesh creature"
*21:56* oh bumblebee wait for season 3 (or 4) to see that
"Wow! It's like some kind of robot Frankenstein Monster."
"Franken-what, Spike?"
🤣🤣🤣
