21:10 this is also wholesome too. The way Optimus pats Bee's head, is also sharing the same way with a father headpatting his own son.

@@crimsoncherry7399 Amen.

No wonder kids were crying when Optimus prime died in the theatres

@@mattmc9812 This is one of many reasons why.

I think this was the inspiration for the Michael Bay movie The Last Knight when Bumblebee talked to Optimus to make him free from his evil Nemesis Prime persona.

Yes I love that scene! Also rumble is one of my favorites transformers lol

Rumble straight up juked Ratchet, lol.

I can't believe that

Why does rumble turn into a cassette, drop on the ground, turn back into a robot, fly away, then back into a cassette again to go into Soundwave's chest?

Wait how did jet fire get out of the ice?

@@ryannakao7265 in season 1 after where he gets trapped they unfreeze him with little to no effort

Ratchet’s reaction offscreen: Skyfire! I needed that!

Animated did

@@arielfilmsinc1926 and Prime.

@@disneyboy3030 what autobots order megatrons comand?

@@disneyboy3030 Very true.

In this show the autobots felt less like a military group and more like friends who all chose to work together under one banner.

Wait prow call minicon a birdplane?

@@user-su6nu6wo7v *Birdbrain.* And that Mini-Con is Laserbeak

@@TheRisingStorm316 what autobots order megatrons order

Must be transformers shattered brain,as apposed to shattered glass.

@@user-su6nu6wo7v Optimus, Ratchet, Skyfire, Prowl, Bluestreak, Hound and Brawn.

Bumblebee is like his son after all.

Wholesome 100

Optimus prime saw his fellow autobots as family and bumblebee was like his little brother and brothers never give up on each other

@@trekie82channel Actually bumblebee is his son

@@trekie82channel Except when there is a stupid political difference, all over some president. Sigh.

Probably meant all the Autobots at base since the rest of them could've have different assignments across the world

Well to be fair, this is an early Season 2 episode, so it still had the Season 1 cast, which means half of your list hasn't even been introduced yet lol.

Well it's a good thing they didn't get all of the Dinobots and Omega Supreme. That would've been a nightmare. 😳

@@ComicPhreak dude Omega Supreme is to big to fit in the base XD

@@SirGarchomp146 and Maybe Wheeljack was with the Dinobots on some other mission

He somehow got his name millions of years before his namesake 😆

He’s my favorite! ☺️

They have to protect earthlings. In exchange the earthlings give them all the energy they need so they don't need to raid bases for energy anymore like pirates. It makes logical sense because the government can't mass produce their own defense against decepticons who are on a whole new level of technological advancement in terms of robotics. They are literally sentient aliens with self healing bio-mechanical bodies. Only thing humans can do is offer a resistance movement if the autobots can't outright win the war. And now you know why so many fans of the comics and cartoons are angry at the michael bay movies which tried too hard to give humans the spotlight. It should have been the autobots working with humans and the humans play a background role. But hollywood always screws something up. TF live action movies tried to make the mistake of copying those godzilla movies that focus too much on human reacting to things rather than the Godzilla fighting stuff. And Michael Bay TF live action went with this angle. Hopefully in future Hasbro can pressure the hollywood executives to stop focusing so much on humans and have humans act as backup for autobots in mecha suits but not be the SPOTLIGHT. Make the Transformers as important as they are in the cartoons with their own personalities and agenda and fighting styles. Transformers can evolve from "generic popcorn flick" to a true science fiction action franchise with characters you care about like the marvel movies we have now.

@@UToobUsername01 and that's why they make a reboot

@@UToobUsername01 I’m other words “Curse you Autobots!”

@@UToobUsername01 in I meant.

@@UToobUsername01 a fantastic analysis. You perfectly pinpointed why Bay's movies suck.

This musta gave inspiration for a certain movie,hmm last knight anyone.

@@c.glazercrush3994, the main differences are that in TF5, Optimus' eyes change from blue to purple & he has a red mark on the right side of his head, but here, his eyes just change from blue to red & he doesn't have the red mark on the side of his head that he has in TF5.

Here, I'd say Bumblebee was brave and heroic. He definetly saved the day.

Last Knight. You forgot the "K" word

Good thing the Bumblebee vs Nemesis Prime from the Last Knight movie gave a huge callback and reference to this episode.

@@gxv-179 Thanks i did the correction.

Yooo! That seems like a real reference to this! Nice!

OK, given that Teletran has a personality... why did it repair the Decepticons in the first episode? Teletran got some 'plaining to do, Lucy!

@@heedmywarning2792 The computer was damaged in the crash and the earthquake/volcano shook it around and woke it up. It's like how facial recognition might be fooled if you place picture of a guys face instead of your own face. Computers are not perfect. In fact the computer thought the earth's inhabitants were the vehicles and not the walking bags of flesh. It makes sense for the computer to make this assumption (it's from an alien planet remember) since on the computer's homeworld everyone has mechanical bodies there. When it scans the inhabitants of earth it will see cars traveling on roads and think "those are the native inhabitants of the planet so we better create disguises that look like these cars to fool the earthlings" and unfortunately the computer scanners ignored the walking bags of flesh.

This created so much wasted potential. I love the concept of Teletraan becoming sentient. That's why this is one of my favorite G1 episodes.

Actually this is the second time. The first was in the third episode.

We also briefly see it in Fire in the Sky at the end, but it is an easy miss

Combat deck.abd roller was controlled by optimyus if one could not survive without the other

Wholesome Prime moments

He was younger lol everyone is cooler when they are younger lol

Animated Optimus has a personality close to this one, albeit limited, and an occasional show of emotion in Armada and Prime as well.

And Teletraan 1 at 5:12

This was a better plan. Why just kill your enemies when you can turn them into allies and double the size of your army in the process?

@@Rocket1377 Thank you

What about Trans-Europe Express when Bluestreak faced all 5 Stunticons and Menasor?

@@marclewis5505 Eh, Bee and Smokescreen did more than him.

@@tannerprice2018 You mean Bee and Tracks. Smokescreen got taken out by the Stunticons.

@@marclewis5505 Right, my mistake.

Or when Chip Chase took over his controls while fighting the seekers.

Bruh he voiced bays prime as well the hell you tripping on?

​@@tadihotado3518 I just Spotted Primes Penis So Funny

Optimus could have won if he wanted he had plenty of opportunities to finish megatron Prime had the dinobots and omega Supreme and more trusting human allies Plus he had mechanics and scientists and his own.air squad and rescue squad he had enough to defeat megatrin Rodimus should have wiped the decepticons from existence he had the chance to destroy them all.when they left cybertron he could have had cyclonus and scourge hunted down where they never rescued galvatron

@@chrisedwards3214 This is Season 2, episode 10 my dude. Prime had the Dinobots, but at this episode there isn't Omega Supreme yet. Spike is able to give faith but he can easily get caught by Laserbeak. He have machanics and scientists, but there are too little while the 'Cons just leave it to machine and computers. Also air squad and rescue squad hasn't arrived yet (except Jetfire/Skyfire and Powerglide) nor Rodimus.

He reprogrammed the constructicons and combaticons as well. Yet he never thinks in using it on Perceptor when he was kidnapped for corrostop, nor use it in Beachcomber for the golden lagoon, nor even used it on Starscream for pretty much any episode you could think of.

Exactly! The Isolation of Washington DC as well as Megatron sitting on the throne, replacing Lincoln... Hilarious!

And Revenge of the Fallen is just like Changing Gears but without Gears

Bumblebee knew he wasn't evil. He hugged him instead of bashing him like a little bug. Optimus finds all lifeforms precious. Even little insects.

Thats the thing about G1 theres are so many characters the writers seem to forget who does what.

There was some behind the scenes stuff going on with the toy being identical to the Robotech toy

I think Skyfire's last episode was "Day of the Machines".

Yay, licensing issues! It's also why the Insecticon's bigger bros, the Deluxe Insecticons, didn't appear in the cartoon.

So that's why Skyfire's model was revamped, and then renamed to Jetfire, I think?

​@@crimsoncherry7399 they changed his name from Jetfire to Skyfire and then they changed it back to Jetfire because they wanted to. I still call him Skyfire though.

😊😊😊

Awesome

Even though I’m not from the 80s, I 100% agree. Having your favorite figures with you while you’re watching the show(s) definitely makes it better.

I'm not from the 80s but I 100% agree about Bumblebee. He's my favorite and always will be

I don't understand why Megatron thought he could control OPTIMUS.

probably because he might have thought this was actually a good idea for once why do the heavy lifting when they can force the autobots to do it for them

I mean true but he should've known that both his schemes and Megatron schemes dont always work

It would have worked if Bumblebee & Jazz werent late for autobot spa treatment.

He was on his meds

@@SirGarchomp146 No, Starscream's schemes work. It's just that someone always wants to screw them up.

I certainly agree. They took extra care in these G1 episodes to make everyone unique and relatable. We all know that person that plays music all the time (Jazz, Blaster), the pessimist (Huffer), the soldier (Ironhide, Warpath), the whiner/complainer (Gears), the hustler (Swindle), someone who is dimwitted (Skywarp, Trypticon, Sludge), arrogant (Sunstreaker, Tracks, Grimlock, Starscream), unsure of their place in life (First Aid), loyal (Soundwave, Cyclonus), paranoid (Red Alert), self-doubting (Rodimus), perfectionist (Grapple, Hook), strong leaders (Prime, Megatron), etc. Many iterations of the Transformers after G1 seemed to have forgotten these aren't just machines but they have personality, too.

@@EmpoweredTravels Yes the man who wrote those bios for each robot did a great job. Each character could get their own show lol

@@UToobUsername01 Absolutely, they put thought into it! In Soundwave's bio, it said his hearing is so acute he can hear a fly sneeze. He would use his super hearing to eavesdrop and blackmail people with the info he learns. Then you have Thundercracker and Dead End who don't really care for the war. They probably leaned even more into their personalities in the comics. They seem to really go in-depth!

Blaster: Am I a joke to you?

@@UToobUsername01 Bob Budianski

They originally planned to lol

That's just optimus saying my spider scenses is tingling

That was Bluestreak knocked out. Not Prowl. ~Dex™.

I've seen a transformers episode where Optimus prime was the bad guy before . Cool

Check out rg1 where scorponok turns all the autobots on cybertron evil

If transformers shattered glass where autobot cars and trucks are evil and decepticon planes are good does exists then they would make a tv series and movie series about it.

Ironically, both this and Dark Awakening are some of G1's least popular episodes. *_I CAN SEE WHY._*

When you're Optimus Prime, you can pretty much do anything. 😊

I mean so is Wheeljack And the Dinobots
