Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 3 | E01 | Hasbro Pulse
Under Rodimus Prime's leadership, the Autobots have freed their home planet of Cybertron from Decepticon control, which results in a new age of peace and happiness. But this does not last forever. When Spike, Kup, and Ultra Magnus are kidnapped by an unknown enemy, the Autobots suspect that the Decepticons are behind the kidnapping. But what happens when they discover that the Decepticons are not the ones who abducted their friends?

Gotta love Astrotrain flatly stating facts about Megatron/Galvatron at 3:46. 😅😅
For sure. He also was pretty right about how it was before Unicron reformatted Megatron into Galvatron-- Megatron tended to run a tight ship.
"face it. we're doomed."- Dead End.
I just love that line.🤣
I remember being eight years old watching this season and thinking how far into the future 2005 sounded. Now that's a long time ago.
By now, this show takes place in an alternate past. And by 2005, I was 2 years out of high-school!
I literally remember thinking in 2005 we would have FLYING CARS and CURES to every disease. Instead here we are in 2023 with Fentanyl deaths and Tik Tok trash.
Yes
Yeah, I need a drink now. FML.
Almost as long ago as 2005 was in the future .
20:30 Galvatron in the crowd of people cheering on a mission to save HIM🤣
Galvatron:yeay,we're going to go save me!
Well Galvatron is an egomaniac so that makes sense
Galvatron fanboy
That is, as a matter of fact, how a post movie Galvatron would react.
He probably returned to the Decepticon planet on his own, was flattered that his soldiers would save him, went back to the lava planet, accidentally fell into lava, and the rest is history.
No I can’t remember the names of the planets, why do you ask?
I actually felt bad for Astrotrain in that opening scene. Here he is, as low as anyone on energy and the minute he crashes and spills the energy, he is basically kicked around and prevented from "eating'. So sad. lol
Did they have to transform into Devastator just to kick him, seems like a large misuse of energon
Drinking. When TFs consume too much energon they get drunk so their method of consumption is drinking. They can also recharge via direct cable connection to a power source.
Astrotrain should have drank some air wherever he got that from he should have gotten enough for him and his comrades
Astrotrain wasn't the brightest bulb in the box no wonder he wasn't fit to be leader
poor astrotrain, especially after being forced to go all the way to earth and get it, and carrying the decepticons to the planet they're on too lol
I know right, he looked funny fuming smoke 💨 lol
I love how Galvatron is in the crowd of Decepticons cheering about going on a mission to find Galvatron.
Or where Kickback and Shrapnel try to get the energon. But, were stopped by Cyclonus, Scourge and the sweeps.

Animation error
The G1 cartoon had the most animation errors in history lol
I must say this though; it was nice to see Jazz again. Even though his screentime was very brief.
Grimlock laughing was funny! 😂 21:03
😆
Agree :)
LOL!
me too
Very close to mecha Godzilla’s laugh
Cyclonus being a televangelist with the whole "Give Give Give!"
My thoughts exactly
Yeah.. what's up with that?
A second later thanks to animation errors. Galvatron is already there
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will always remember Unicron's head orbiting Cybertron. It was a great idea to conclude and remind the preivous great war. A symbol.
au useless symbol imagine needing a trophy in order to remember a war
@@adnan_honest_jihadist5775Says you
I always wondered why they didn't destroy the head.
The war is not over. They THOUGHT it was over because they THOUGHT Galvatron was dead. They are STILL fighting the third Great War🤓
Unicron was so terrifying...the opening in the movie has stayed with me for, 4 decades....kids just aren't exposed to that type of content anymore where memories are built and stay with you because you were a terrified child watching a planet devour another and process the bots and eating them....
"It is the year 2005..." lol I wish.
I wasn't even born so same.
Lol I don't see them
Don't worry, Covid19 can be Covid05
Those were the days....
The year I was born

Carly: You aren’t even denting it!
Spike: Oh sh!t! What do we do now?
Cyclonus: Must be the wind...
Sweep: There is no wind in space.
Cyclonus: QUIET!

@@zay91horne60 Blah blah blah. Keep believing that, loser.
@@cyberdude4 What ever Dumb@$$
21:08 Grimlock's laugh here is still hilarious!😆
ikr it was so unexpected 🤣
20:31 In appreciation for his loyal decepticons, Galvatron attends the preparation for his return ceremony
19:37 So I guess Motormaster has respect for Optimus. Wasn't expecting him to call him a great leader, but that also implies he doesn't see Rodimus the same way. He said the Autobots USED to have a great leader.
used to, yeah. but does Motormaster even know about Rodimus or anything about him?
the decepticons fled Cybertron and crashed on Charr. they probably dont know anything about the new leader of the autobots. why would they?
@@dogma9609 Now that you mention it, I wonder how Motormaster found out Optimus died. None of the Stunticons even appeared in TF'86...
@@_V.Va_ i wonder if the Decepticons even knew Megatron was Galvatron? if so, how?
true, Megatron disappears then Galvatron automatically appears looking similar.
clearly they know as astrotrain remarks, "well they were the same guy"...
@@_V.Va_ perhaps they had spies lurking about on earth...like in FFOD pt 1 we see Ramjet and Dirge on earth away from Charr🙄 keeping account on the Autobots...
Or like in episode The Burden Hardest to Bear we see Breakdown and Wild rider on earth after the decepticon fleet have returned to Charr keeping a look out for autobot activity
@@dogma9609 What's even weirder is how Soundwave assured Megatron he wouldn't abandon him, yet he let Starscream toss Megatron out of Astrotrain. And when he came back as Galvatron, Starscream could immediately tell it was him while Soundwave couldn't! Or he could but the writers just didn't care about Soundwave.
For some reason I really like the sound effect of Astrotrain struggling to transform.
Its always amazing how quickly dysfunctional the Decepticons become without Megatron/Galvatron.
They always fighting among each other it took someone like Megatron to keep them in line
Motor Master reveals his respect for Optimus Prime.
My favorite part
At 19:30
Rivals are rivals. Feel the vacuum.
Motormaster is also really dissin Megatron in a inconspicuous way
I always thought that was dope.
20:37
"If we surrender our energon, we're doomed."
"If we don't, we're doomed, too."
"Face it. We're doomed."
gotta love Dead End's gloomy personality.
Doomimus prime 😂😂😂😂
“What kind of an attitude is that?! Here’s MY contribution!”
I remember how Motormaster brought up about how the Autobots used to have a great leader near the end of this episode when the Decepticons were talking about attacking the Autobots and you can hear Rumble screaming in the background how they should pulverize the Autobots and how Onslaught would say it was a bad idea to attack the Autobots in they're condition which is also kinda weird that they were talking with each other which is crazy considering at the beginning of this episode they were all trying to kill each other over energon cubes I mean if the Decepticons act this way I can guess that is why Octane sided with the Autobots somewhere along the way.
Yea they was reduced to savages fighting for resources
Everytime the leader was gone the cons fought each other
The cons cannot rule a decent civilization without somebody string and smart controlling them
The autobots can at least run a peaceful society
16:00 grimlock is so happy and its adorable
Watching this again after so many years, I can now see the Han-Leia dynamic with Springer and Arcee.
As if the "cinnamon buns" on the side of Arcee's head wasn't the more obvious clue, but I agree.
@@houseofno my young mind couldn't understand the references when I was 8. 😂
I always get the Luke, Leia, Han víbe from Hot Rod, Arcee and Springer. Maybe add Kup as Obi-Wan. 😂
Springer is such an under appreciated autobot. I loved his attitude.
Fun fact, he was the only autobot triple changer.
Wrong, Sandstorm was the OTHER Autobot Triple Changer.
This is where Galvatron reclaims the voice of Frank Welker
I liked Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron in the movie, shame they couldn't have kept him as the voice of Galvatron, he could've worked with Harry Mudd on amost every season 3 episode then, lol.
@@ValiantWrestling he also voiced Xehanort in KH bbs
@@ValiantWrestling Galvatron reclaiming the voice of Frank Welker was to go with his insanity, from the length he spent in the lava, after he got thrown out of Unicron, back in the movie (the lava is exactly where he landed). He was voiced by Leonard Nimoy in the movie, his first appearance, as he was sane (he hadn’t spent so long in the lava, on Thrull).
Yes, when Galvatron reclaimed Frank Welker, as his voice actor, it always reminded fans of the fight he had, back in the movie, with Hot Rod (lasted until the Autobot matrix, of leadership, changed Hot Rod into Rodimus Prime, which is exactly when Galvatron got thrown out of Unicron, followed by landing in the lava, on Thrull, which, again, Galvatron spent some time in, which is how he got his insanity).
@@michaelweech6432 I think Welker getting the gig back probably had more to do with budget and time commitments. It's one thing to get an established live actor for a movie, but a very different one to get him for a TV cartoon program.
I never really liked Welker's crazed Galvatron voice. He sounded whiny. Wasn't inspiring as a leader. Rodimus was actually whiny, but at least he had a command voice.
@@texasbeast239they couldn't afford nimoy after the movie Hasbro wanted welker to voice galvatron it was intended for welker to voice galvatron since he was already voicing Megatron why not
Rodimus was good though
So called peace lasted about 5 min...I love how the 5 faces of darkness foreshadowed the discrepancies in both Rodimus and Galvatron as leaders throughout the rest of the series...Rodimus is already hating his job and unsure, and Galvatron's brain is fried and is batshit...
Watching this makes me wonder how effective the Decepticons would have been with a sane Megatron in charge and Cyclonus as second in command instead of Starscream.
Megatron is a tactician and would do quite well since the new Decepticons have a larger army. On the other hand Galvatron is a psycho.
@@mangamerchant9002 Megatron was a self-aggrandizing asshole but there was a reason he all but owned Cybertron proper. His reformatting into Galavatron cranked his "cartoonish evil" dial so high that logic went out the window half the time.
Holy shit, they would have been unstoppable!
I blame the show writers not understanding what it was about Megatron that people liked, ye Galvatron is him reformated, he wouldn't be as insane as he is, likely he was damaged in someway and just never got it fixed
Of course, one has to wonder if Megatron would have retained the insanity he shows here as Galvatron due to what happened to him after Rodimus sent him hurling from Unicron's head into deep space, and he ended up returning back to Megatron...
This is a great example of how some of the most well-written episodes in Season 3 were assigned to AKOM, while some of the less remarkable episodes were assigned to Toei. I mean, did they really need Toei to animate episodes like Chaos, The Killing Jar, Money Is Everything, and Surprise Party? Five Faces of Darkness should have been animated by Toei, especially since it incorporated a couple of scenes from the movie.
Chaos and The Killing Jar are among the series' best episodes. But I agree episodes like Money is Everything and Surprise Party are lousy, and less "deserving" of Toei animation.
Indeed!
Toei didn't animate Surprise Party
@@plushiecouncil1102 My mistake. Surprise Party was at one time believed to have been animated by Toei because it looked better than anything AKOM did. But apparently it was animated by Sei Young Animation, which was a Korean studio. Go figure...
IMHO, the first and second season Toei episodes are better than just about anything Akom ever did, especially that lazy, poorly animated, abbreviated "fourth" season consisting of three measly "Rebirth" episodes. What a crummy way to end an otherwise overall great series.
"More than Meets The Eye," "Ultimate Doom," and "Desertion of the Dinobots" are my all time favorites, in that order. Odd coincidence that these are all multi-part episodes.
Astrotrain: well they were the same guy.
Megatron = Galvatron
I used to wonder to myself "how'd he know that" when I was a kid.
@@trence5 Because he told Starscream "Here's a hint!" before blowing him away. Who else could it be? Did you even watch the movie? I'm sure some people cried at starscream's death.
@@UToobUsername01 and prime dead
And Starscream is neither
Astrotrain is dimwit. Cyclonus who's proven to be much smarter corrected him right away. Galvatron was built from Megatron corpse but they are separate characters. Galvatron never identified his self as Megatron at any point in G1 cartoon. Listen to what he tells Ultra MGnus while he attacking him on Earth in the 1986 movie....
It really feels like a lot of interesting history was lost between Season 2 and the movie
Yes we missed a whole lot new autobots and cons came
Megatron conquered Cybertron
Elites one Mia
Autobot city is built on earth and ultra Magnus is made city commander
Spike and Carly got married
Sparkplug.dies or is never mentioned again I think he's dead cause no way he would have missed Daniels birthday party in Cybertron
Wheeljack or perceptor gets the idea to make cassettes for blaster
@@chrisedwards3214 THIS is when you come up with your own head cannon as to what happened. PERSONALLY Dion becomes Ultra Magnus and Megatron killed all the Fembots as he was conquering Cybertron. Sparkplug dies of a heart attack since he was overweight and middle age during the 20yr period. Makes sense to me🤓
I remember watching season 3 and not enjoying as much as the first 2 seasons but my love of Transformers kept me going. The same couldn't be said for my brother and friends who all dropped off after losing their favorite characters.
Aside from Optimus who among the Autobots who were KIA were their faves?
I dropped out [Of the series at least] After how Bitterly unwatchable season 2 Became, The Movie is perfect and Still my favorite thing about The Transformers as a whole, But I refused to watch season 3 because of how Bad the Rest of Season 2 was…
After watching the Five Faces of Darkness, I’m Convinced to Actually finish G1, This episode was really good
@@dominothealphaandomega5512 we it’s actually the best on in S3xd there sre some Clunkers in there
@@spongeyspikes09 Wheeljack and Ironhide were cool
Literally me ㅠㅠ I'm watching alone cause my sister said she's done after the movie
Wait a minute! It just hit me! Since this was released in 1986, 2005 (0:54), would have been 19 years to the future for us kids. I remember being blown away at the idea of 2005. That was so far off. But now it’s May 2024, which means 2005 is 19 years in the past. But that seems like yesterday. 😢
I understand why people vehemently hated Rodimus at the time (and many still do) but I could never really get behind that. I think seeing a realistic aftermath of a forced “coming of age” story is an interesting approach. He constantly doubts himself and struggles with his confidence, but when people need him, he’s there. And despite all his fussing about being leader, it’s obvious that he cares deeply about others and keeping the ones he loves safe. Even when he’s being kinda lame it’s endearing to me. He’s just trying to find his way in the world with the weight of a responsibility that he didn’t ask for. And he’s also funny as sh*t lol
I agree. People need to stop hating fictional characters .
@@Forgemnook what about galvatron how did people feel about him
@@amitchell2960 in the 80s, 90s, 00s, etc?
@@Forgemno etc???
Rodimus Prime was the chosen one who restored the Autobots to Cybertron, the Autobots were getting turned into burnt out toaster ovens Megatron was beating Optimus Prime to the punch! If Daniel didn't make Hotrod look at the shuttle Megatron would have slaughtered the rest of the Autobots! As children you don't see it that way Optimus Prime was alot of children's favorite character and I understand that, but I am a adult, and Rodimus got way more done, not only did he get Cybertron back but it function as a galactic peace conference on Cybertron. Traveled through the Matrix discovered the creators, protected Cybertron from them and Galvatron, as well as assist Melissa Morgan with Earth space command around earth and throughout the solar system. Optimus had only one battle front and that was stopping Megatron from steeling earth resources, but allowed Megatron to build a Space bridge? But Rodimus gets all the heat and Optimus was leader longer he didn't really accomplish that much? The Autobots were losing under his campaign? Getting destroyed? Optimus died because he wouldn't take action he was hesitant!? And was allowing Megatron once again allowing Megatron a way out like season 1 and 2.
When I first saw season 3 of the Transformers I was glad that they started right after the events of the movie but the one thing I liked was when they brought Optimus Prime back in the 2 part episode The Return of Optimus Prime.
As a kid I was happy Optimus came back, now as an adult he was better off dead due to the story. He wasn't suppose to come back (in story revival contradicts BADLY) and he had his time as leader. I fixed it where Optimus stay dead and Rodimus finish out the last 5 episodes as leader using sceens from Return Of Optimus 1,2, Rebirth 1,2,3 and Headmasters series🤓👍
Saw this when I was 8 and its just as good now! They don't make them like this anymore.
I like G1 as much as the next guy, but "they don't them like this anymore", probably isn't praise that should be given to an AKOM episode lol.
@@TeamTowers1 😂 "let's all go rescue me, galvatron!"
You're right. In many aspects they do them much better.
@@returnedtomonkey8886
Newer animation series do not appeal to me in the slightes.

@@returnedtomonkey8886 oh no they don't.
The Sharkticons look so buff in this episode! They really let themselves go afterwards!! 😝 The Quints were so busy scheming to destroy the Autobots that they forgot to keep the "troops" on a fitness regimen.
"Well they were the same guy." lmao.
Blur and Wheelie got picked for the mission because they're the most annoying and everyone wanted them gone for a few weeks 😆
"I'm sending you two on the most important of all. You're going to find out what's inside the sun."
Blurr’s speed means he can deliver the cog faster than anybody. Wheelie can, uh, Wheelie can… can probably fit in Blurr in robot mode and carry the cog in his hands so it doesn’t rattle around in there. Yes that’s it. A perfectly reasonable answer. I’m not just trying to send them both away while I just need the one loser. Now, you too! No time to test my theory, just go. The fate of Metroplex depends on it!

Exactly my case. 😐
Optimus Prime would have negotiated a post-war settlement that doesn’t drive the Decepticons to desperate measure to survive
Really
What makes you think the Decepticons would have negotiated at all with the Autobots? Or vice versa? Per narrator, Victor Carolli "The Decepticons are a malevolent race of robots, driven by a single, undeviating goal, total domination." Does that sound like a race receptive to negotiation,. even in the face of defeat? Completely exterminating the Decepticons would be out of character for the Autobots, so exile to Char seems like the only likely alternative.
@@houseofno 1. I don't think you fully understand Optimus Primes personality. He would strive to even preserve his enemies.
2. I don't think you fully comprehend Evil either. A truly evil individual would take advantage of a peace offer when certain defeat is eminent. Then they would use that peace time to rebuild for another take over attempt.
I'm sure Prime would have thought it out: Prime would do his bid to help, Galvatron would inevitably attempt to take advantage, all parties would wind up in the exact same position they were before, if not worse.
No, Optimus would be wise enough not to waste those resources. It's called "casting pearls before swine". Optimus is no fool.
I think that was more of a long term goal, Cybertron was nearly eaten by Unicron and both Autobots and Deceptcons suffered heavy losses.
There probably was only enough resources and bot power to reestablish order, not enough to reintergate the Cons.
Cyclones playing the tele- evangelist is hilarious.
Some may not have liked him but I actually liked Rodimus.
I hated seeing him get his ass kicked by a bunch of weak.cons
Optimus took on the whole squad in the movie
@@chrisedwards3214 Yeah well remember even though he's a Prime now he was a rookie before the matrix made him more wiser not a better fighter. Optimus had Eons of experience fighting unlike Rodimus.
Yes, Rodimus is way too underrated. Your comment deserves way more likes.
@@Soundwave32791 Thanks TBH as much as I love Optimus I wouldn't mind a Transfomers series were Rodimus is the leader again of the Autobots. In that last knight when I heard Hot-Rod was gonna be in it I thought maybe they were headed that way but they really did him badly in that film IMO.
@@shadowspidey7327 yes I liked what rodimus accomplished he did more in a year that it took prime millions off years to do
I remember seeing the first time I saw this episode, not having seen the movie, and wondering where TH Optimus, Megatron, and the others were, and then being totally PO'd to learn that they were dead.
Well Megatron isn’t dead, as astrotrain said,
“Well they were the same guy” and he is right, Galavatron is Megatron, he was just simply renamed and rebuilt.
Transformers really wasn't playing with that future stuff whrn.they move ahead they really move ahead
Leaving the fate of anything in Blurr and Wheelie's hands is a questionable decision at best...
gotta love how blaster rhymes everything he says. man could be the next slim shady lol

Great how the 3rd season picked up where the movie left off.
20:30 Galvatron's happy that he's about to be rescued!

That creepy sound of Astrotrain trying to transform at 1:26 is incredible! O_O
Also.. Does Cyclonus remind anybody else of Michael Ironside, or is it just me?
Oh damn it, I forgot Wheelie was a thing in the 3rd season.. ugh. -_-
IDW explored that “good guys” winning scenario. Autobots basically turn into the Shattered Glass versions of themselves and nobody really wants that.
To be fair IDW Autobots were always more morally grey than most other versions.
@@TeamTowers1 idw prowl did some very unquestionable acts check out sins of the wreckers
How was starscream allowed to be in the Senate and chill with zeta prime, and why prowl and bumblebee allow screamer to ally themselves with him why did every autobot allow screamer to be ruler of Cybertron their sworn enemy
Why was not every devepticon put on trial after the so called ear ended Megatron should have been killed no trial
No wonder getaway turned traito
Not really. IDW Autobots aren't the same with G1 Autobots. Somehow, IDW tried for the moral grey thing and make the Autobots committed war crimes. Their Autobots is the worse version of the Autobots. They act like Decepticons. They don't act like Autobots at all which resulted in a very depressing continuity where the best conclusion is all Transformers should die for the sake of other species.
@@chrisedwards3214 Yeah. The whole Autobot Megetron bugs me so much. How can he be captain of an Autobot ship and the Autobots on the ship didn't say anything? Those Autobots should try to kill Megatron on a daily basic. After all, Megatron killed their friends and comrades, committed so many monstrosities. I read somewhere that the writer was surprised that the readers sympathized with Getaway more than Rodimus' team so he tried to make Getaway into a bad person. Honestly, IDW continuity is a mess.
@@miyako1909 This. I ignore that whole story arc mostly for that part. Megatron has killed and had others killed for over 4 million years and they're just fine with him playing nice and taking control of the ship that's going to find the knights.
I also find it funny that the autobots are celebrating and the decepticons are fighting over energeon cubes.
i still highly enjoy that intro music !!!
And the Kup coloured Spinger right at the end. (Now you won't be able to un see it)
10:31 is it just me or does it sound like Springer is saying “So much for quarantine, I need a shit!”
It’s probably more like “I need a shift,” or “I need a ship.”
19:36 never in my life I'd hear something like that from double M. He has respect for prime.
Damn yall put every episode!!! I love you guys so much for this
some TF fans dislike FFOD ( mostly Ive noticed because of the sloppy Akom animation), but i feel these 5 episodes are the most ambitious story arc of the entire series. Flint Dille really delivered here.
I like the story but the animation is really awful.
"How are we gonna find Decepticons?"
Well, gee... Those planes over there have the Decepticon emblem all over them, and those ones over there don't. I WONDER WHICH ONES THEY COULD BE!? XD
They're on about searching for Galvatron yet he can be seen among the Decepticons celebrating this announcement! Gas. Truly amazing toon, laced with a tonne of anime errors.
I never liked season 3 as much as the first two. It was traumatic for me that they killed off most of the Autobots. And ironically, some of the ones who lived thru the movie weren't coming back because of departure of voice actors (Scatman "Jazz" died in real life, and Casey Kasem "Cliffjumper" left because of the "Carbombya" reference). I think Bumblebee was the only 1984 Autobot to live that really had much of a presence
Grimlock featured a lot in season 3, but he'd been nerfed down to the level of Daniels sidekick (apart from in Grimlocks New Brain and Call Of The Primitives)
Bumblebee only appeared about five times in season three they had to upgrade him into goldbug
Soundwave only mattered in season three because they needed him to.eject ratbat
Right on ,at that time I was over TF at season 3
11:13 - 11:41 I love this part.
3:46 You got that right Astrotrain!
20:30 Galvatron's right there you guys. You don't need to rescue him.
Imagine being a kid who wasn't able to see the movie... You go into season 3 and are confused af.
Yes that's why I rented the movie 0n VHS soon as it came out answered some questions like what happened to screamer, the final fight between prime and megatrin who was Unicron, the quints, and the sharkticins
Summer 86 was a good year
Unpopular opinion but I actually like the Season 3 intro song better than the ones from the first two seasons.
Same, here.
I totally get it, the first one is iconic but the 2nd Intro fits the (now retro) future theme they were going for after the movie's timeskip.
@@andrejg4136 It honestly sounds more badass, exciting and rythmic than the intros for the first two seasons but they are very nice as well in their own way.
The theme from the 86 movie soundtrack (the one with lyrics) rules them all. Still have it on rotation in my workout playlist.
You know what, I think Jazz is called Munka Spanka is because that’s their language of saying Jazz
Sad thing is this episode got me back into Transformers 23 years ago!
Why are the insecticons in this? Arent they cyclonus and the sweeps etc now?😂
Transformers fan watching the 1st episode of season 3 react: THIS STINKS Optimus Prime IS GONE, Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet, Brawn ARE GONE , MEGATRON IS GONE, THIS REALLY STINKS!
I prefer season 2 over 3.
yeah, me too
Season 1 and 2 was the best.
@@Rockabillyman26 Indeed they were. Still better than the Bayverse, that’s for sure.
@@T128Productions Season 3 was a complete mess, I believe Season 3 could have been alot better if they hadn't killed off so many characters in the movie, how they could have done Season 3 if they had autobots fighting the decepticons in Space and on earth, have teletran 1 with the some of the season 1 crew lead by Ironhide, and Teletran 2 at Autobot City lead by Ultra Magnus have episodes where you see Galvatron attacking autobot city Magnus sends for help from teletran 1 Ironhide and the Season 1 crew coming to help the Season 3 crew, have episodes in space where you have Powermaster Optimus Prime along with Jazz, Rodimus Prime, Arcee, Hound and Sunstreaker on moonbase 1 battling Galvatron and the decepticons and have episodes battling the Quintessons. Have some appearances episodes where Devcon and Elita-1 and her group of autobots show up and help Powermaster Optimus Prime and his crew battling Galvatron and the decepticons.
I find it sweet that spike married carly
They obviously did before the 1986 film.
Yet we don’t know (and never will) what Carly’s maiden name is (nor what happened to Chip Chase). By the time Spike and Carly become adults, get married and have a son - Daniel, at least we know what happened to Spike’s dad Sparkplug - it is likely that he died.
10:42 Arcee surely runs faster
I know that this Season is Objectively worse than the first two, but this is where I started.
Thanks to a DVD with an incomplete set of episodes, I got to experience The Transformers for the first time (aside from the 2007 film).
That intro still sticks in my mind as what Transformers is to me.
Remember to watch the Transformers movie before watching this episode. It make more sense.
Note: high best resolution for extreme more enjoyment
6:32 I thought this was Jazz. Who is "Munkus Benka? Jazz was clearly the winner.
9 year old me was thinking the exact same. Adult me is still wondering who this "Unga Manga" dude is
It's Munka Spanka.
They really doubled down on wheelie and blurr, the two most tiresome Autobots together in a main story line...whilst "Munca Spanka" gets to win the loser Olympics against some other forgotten, beloved Autobots! Season three is a real mixed bag. Dirge, ramjet and thrust all got killed in the movie, yet here they are back again. can't believe all the episodes are here though, big respect for that!
They was repaired
i like that grimlock laugh lol
So bizarre how sudden it feels the tone shifted. Also, what was that Grimlock laugh?
5:14 "Zowie, we do have an unusual leader don't we, BOINGGGG!" damn contain yourself Warpath
i love grimlocks' laugh
Season 3 may have had its issues and was a much more drastic departure from what we already knew from the first two seasons but i thought the Five Faces Of Darkness 5 part episode was a brilliant continuation of the 86 movie which showed you what happened in the aftermath. We saw the Decepticons for the first time completely powerless and a shell of their former selves fighting amongst themselves with no leader to guide them. Unicron was destroyed, Optimus Prime was dead and the Autobots were thriving with their new leader Rodimus Prime who had very big shoes to fill. There was a certain chill in the air with a sombre feeling that things were only going to get worse before they got better, it also did a great job in setting up a new enemy for the show who had a shocking connection to both Autobots and Decepticons. An excellent start for the 3rd season
The movie is the start of season 3 after all🤓
Every time I see this episode I still can't get over where KickBack and Shrapnel came from as we all know they died in the movie along with Bombshell and along with Skywarp and ThunderCracker they were reformatted by Unicron into Cyclonus,Scourge and the Sweeps and I know they can't be clones as all the clones were eaten by the Morphobots in the Season 2 episode 'Quest for Survival'.
Galvatron was there, too
Happy 39th Anniversary "TRANSFORMERS G1" (SEPTEMBER 17, 1984) (R.I.P. to all those who gave us all these amazing characters just like the actors)
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
19:21... Onslaught lost his British Accent
The thing I hate about the movie and the this season moving forward, is that there was no sign of Chip Chase. He would've been running some stuff big time and probably walking with cyber enhancements.
Sparkplug wasn't mentioned again its assumed he died
@@chrisedwards3214 Yes, it is likely that Sparkplug died, by the time the movie aired (followed by season 3), and when his son Spike was now an adult, and Spike’s son, Daniel, was born (this is when Carly additionally became an adult, as well as married Spike, hence, not only was ‘Witwicky’ her married name - we’ll never know what her maiden name is, but, most of all, become the mum of the newly born Daniel).
As for Chip Chase, we’ll never know what happened to him, by the movie, and thereafter - in season 3. It’ll always be a mystery.
@@chrisedwards3214 Actually, in the script, Sparkplug was supposed to be travelling with Blaster to Carbombya but for some reasons, they cut him out and Blaster spoke his lines instead.
@@miyako1909 The Little Wizards Cartoon Series was produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions what do you think?
TV: ”Transformers will return after these messages”*
Me: * amused * _“we now return to the transfor…”_
TV: *“we now return to the transformers..”*
Decepticons for the Galvatron. Cyclonus, Scourge, and the 3 sweeps days from season 1 and 2. Galvatron never knew that Starscream would be part of the galvatron days to even as a ghost.
Starscream, Soundwave, Reflector, Shockwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage, Buzzsaw, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Thrust, Ramjet, Dirge, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Motormaster, Dragstrip, Dead End, Breakdown, Wildrider, Onslaught, Blast Off, Vortex, Swindle, Brawl,
As a kid this 5 part episode is when I jumped shark on this entire cartoon. All the character changes and darker settings were too much for a young mind to digest. But looking at it now (late 30s) the coming of age and changing of the guard story angle wasn't really that bad. I think the writers underestimated how attached kids are to established main characters of a show
TBF it wasn't the writers choice, as the show was basically a glorified commercial for the toys, they were pretty much told X dies and is replaced with Y, make it happen. It was the executives who were shocked that strangely people preferred Optimus over the crybaby Rodimus.
@@MrSniperfox29 I like rodimus
@@MrSniperfox29 Crybaby? He didn't cry. He is just a young and inexperience leader that still needs time to grow. People like you forgot that Optimus had been leader for 5 millions years while Rodimus only has a couple of years. I am glad the real-world isn't full of people like you or else, the younger generations won't be given chances to grow and lead.
@@miyako1909 The problem was that he spent 90% of season 3 crying about responsibilities, responsibilities he only had because HE got the last leader killed. Whenever he could ditch them, he did so in a heartbeat.
Not to mention the episodes were he was an absolute jerk (omg we just destroyed your home planet, meh, our's is better anyway) or a blithering idiot (yes, let's leave Grimlock in charge of something, what could possibly go wrong)
Its small wonder why people rejected him when the previous leader (who died because of Hot Rod) was beloved by all.
The sad thing was Rodimus best episode, where he finally realised he had to grow up and take charge happened to be the last before our all-powerful ass kicking mega hero Optimus returned to save the day.
I went to junior high in late 1986, so I felt social pressure to put toys and cartoons behind me. The drastic change in cast and tone made it easy to lose interest. I watched just to see if any cool looking designs showed up, but the show lost its heart for me after The Movie.
Still, I go back and try to find moments of meaning and maybe even joy, now, as an adult. The entire franchise is supposed to be about embracing change, after all, and not about desperately holding onto any kind of status quo.
I remember home from school and turning on the tv. I pumped at the new intro - but later I was thinking to myself "who the hell are these guys - where'd they come from". Later releasing my fears were confirmed when they said "New Leader".
They effectively gave away what was going to happen in the movie when they aired the commercials for the 1986 toyline when they stated "new leader". Funnily enough, none of us kids at the time picked up on it.
Dude gave an essay of an introduction just to deny them landing 😂
19:50 Dead End and his still-gloomy-days 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not even a word about optimus in that speech? Real cold, Rodimus
It had been yearssss already tho
@AlezanderNX our months or cartoon continuity months?
@AlezanderNX thanks
Here's to clarify to you, Megatron and Galvatron are the same guy (he's been reformatted by the planet-gobbling world Unicron). Jazz is not Munka Spanka from the Argonon cluster and why is Galvatron doing here among the crowd of Decepticons on Chaar?!!!
Damn... i knew the cons were evil and all but these guys were going legit savage. And they're fucking robots.
10:30 you said "Quarantine"? Yeah, well predicted our past year's life of 2020
