It wasn't that bad. Wheeljack and Hoist were there to help.

​@@houseofno. And they were there to have repair Omega Supreme either.

Or color schemes, 90% of the red and white guys are a Autobots. The other 10% is just Starscream, he makes a lot of appearances.

nooooo autobot sports decepticons insignia and decepticons alike

Yeah, the Humans at the military base were SO stupid and it turned off Slingshot and most of the other Aerialbots to helping the Humans so because of that, Seattle was nearly destroyed by the Decepticons while the Autobots were nearly crushed forever. If I was the U.S President, I'd have the General of the base fired while all those who bought into the whole "Autobots attacked us" mindset fired or at least blacklisted for nearly getting Humanity wiped out with their stupid act.

@@girlgarde Naw, that's too extreme. Just make the General draw the Autobot symbol 100 times.😂🤣

Megatron "NEVER"

It really shows in how they develop. The Stunticon's are a bunch of goons who while initially dangerous when the Autobots didn't quite know what to make of them quickly fall into the standard incompetent villain mold of most Decepticons because all Megatron programmed them for was "To beat up Autobots for me." The Aerialbots meanwhile initially had some personality problems but they eventually came through and grew as Optimus said and quickly became some of the most valuable Autobot's on the team well into Season 3 20 years later in show.

@@bob1986 l (」ﾟ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ . .... .. . . ..

@@bob1986 I agree. The Aerialbots grew as time went by. They do have some personality issues at the beginning. Silverbot and Skydive were the most disciplined once they came into the picture. Airraid was playful and Fireflight a daydreamer at the beginning but and they eventually matured. As for Slingshot, he was the most arrogant of the lot and he offended his fellow Autobots at the beginning and nearly came to blows with Ironhide on a few occasions and ended up learning things the hard way. He eventually matured and learnt to humble himself and came to appreciate the humans, befriended a prince.

So very true

Took a little while for most of the Aerialbots to actually get it though.

Alpha Trion did it when.he merged

They never explain it in G1, but The Aerialbots keep referring to their past life. "I was a low level transport ship". Not really explained until later in Beast wars with sparks and the creation matrix

@@ds222 Even accordingly, they couldn't have memory of their past, they were just lifeless machines, before Vector Sigma gave them life.

@@gabs5144 Why not? Even our primitive twenty-first century cars contain computers, microchips and digital memory. If Silverbolt was a low level non-sentient transport ship, he would probably have contained some sort of onboard computer, if only for docking manoeuvres. If the Autobots didn't specifically remove that, it could well have been a part of his neural circuitry, and able to be accessed by his memory after Vector Sigma programmed him.

@@rowanthursday5860 valid point 👍

There must have been a part in pt.1 that they edited out since Optimus was talking about an explosion by Megatron and Shockwave that never happen on screen. Not to mention a hole on the side of Omega in pt. 2 that was never explained that caused Omega to explode once he landed back on Earth. Maybe TF Wiki or somewhere else online explains what should have happened.

I think a cut script was that Shockwave shot Omega making him explode, but Omega resisted long enough to get the other Autobots get to earth.

@@Peshi80 there’s a short scene where you see the damage to the side of omega’s rocket form after he takes off from Cybertron

Lmaooooo Shockwave

Shockwave's morning stroll took him to the heart of the planet. That's one hell of an exercise regime.

Soundwave's great..he could take Megatron's shit...can't say the same for Starscream...he would do anything to mess things up for Megatron lol

never see that coming

That’s why they say “Soundwave superior”

IKR

Soundwave was always loyal to megatron

Hotel trivago

I always though he says "Prepare to meet Omega Supreme" and now I'm disappointed :(

@@Wolverchenus rip

They need to give him a brother called Alpha. Then when the two combine they form the Alpha-Omega Apocalyptor

@@Wolverchenus I always thought the same thing.

Yep. That’s why I love Silverbolt.

It actually was a little bit beforehand when the one human dude was taking over rebuilding Omega Supreme when the other Autobot was low on energy. Then they realized, with Silverbolt's help of course, that the humans, while not perfect, are worth fighting for because of their compassion and concern for others. As for conquering his fear of heights to defeat Megatron (for now) and destroy the key (for good), then he deserve kudos for that too.

In season three Silverbolt was actually a damn good flyer

Well, Megatron *did* use the Key to Vector Sigma to make aluminum Christmas trees...

13:24

It seemed very uncharacteristic of Soundwave to trip and fall. I know it works for the plot, but Rumble seemed more of a likely candidate to fall, not Soundwave.

@@shaunredd2321 Even the best can fall. And in the pilot episode, Soundwave tripped over a net.

soundwave's so good that he figured out how to solve a problem by accidentally tripping on purpose

Agreed

Grimlock is the best. "Dinobots! Do tail stuff, Do acid stuff, do flying stuff" He keeps the instructions simple so the dinobot know what to do. That takes a lot more effort to lead because they are slow and dumb. And if Grimlock ever shows a sign of weakness guess what happens? They will lose respect for him and stop taking orders. He has to be tougher than optimus prime to keep them in line. That is why he has to remind people he is King. It's not a democracy or republic but a monarchy where he has final say and nobody can disagree unless they succesfully assassinate him to take the crown. Since Grimlock is merely friends with Optimus and has sovereign authority over his men, he can choose to leave at any time and go his own way. (lot more freedom than all the other autobots) He just sticks around because it mutually benefits them to be allies. Most of the time the Dinobots are helping the autobots and not the autobots coming to rescue Dinobots. This indicates independence. In the marvel comics he is a bit nutty and starts to execute people for treason but I don't accept that as canon. His true personality is the cartoon from the early episodes. (the 1986 movie softened him up too much and made him too much lik a "pet" like Dino from The Flintstones imo lol) Over time they made him more kid-friendly and less like the frankenstein 'monster' of early episodes where he is actually scary like the Hulk.

He's relatable

@@UToobUsername01 "That takes a lot more effort to lead because they are slow and dumb." Not at all. It's really simple. They'll never question anything and don't need much guidance. Akin to a factory boss just telling his workers to "work hard and it'll benefit us all". If they're stupid they'll happily eat up that and do as they're told. If they're smarter they'll ask for more information and what's all going on in the company. The dumber and ignorant some people are the easier they are to control, to deceive and to lead. "It's not a democracy or republic" Those are totally interchangeable in the modern era. Democracy just means that common people vote for decisions and everybody's vote counts equally. A republic meanwhile is a *constitutional form* and a *system of government* . For some strange reason (lack of education and the ignorance of the public) some seem to think that these are two fundamentally different things. What these ignoramuses (and probably you too) think is a "democracy" is *direct democracy* i.e. what the Ancient Greeks had. Things were voted on in public (but that was only possible for free males) and decided locally in towns. No need for a central government or any kind of representation in said government. But we haven't had any direct democracy anywhere in the world for several centuries. Our modern world requires a centralized government of some form, be it democratic or absolute(despotic/tyrannical). "but a monarchy where he has final say" Well, unfortunately that kind of absolute monarchy only exists in Saudi Arabia today. Their king really has the final say in everything. They have no free democratic elections, no government and no politicians. Virtually all other *present day* monarchies are *constitutional monarchies* , meaning that they have *everything* a republic has with free elections, elected political representatives, parliament and government. The only difference is that the rather than the president (in a republic) being in charge in a constitutional monarchy it's the *prime minister* . The king? He is just a figurehead with ceremonial powers and is often just granted emergency powers and the ability to discharge or disqualify a prime minister. He however absolutely cannot do that at will and has to do it "to serve/save the people". This is sort of an emergency override should a tyrant or an occupying force put a local collaborator or quisling type in power (the Norwegian king did exactly that during WWII). Your *medieval king monarchy* is nowhere to be seen these days. Well, Saudi Arabia is the exception and it's an *absolute monarchy* . Grimlock's closest historical equivalent is probably King Zog of Albania. Zog saw himself as a great king but had no noble heritage and actually started life as a son of local landowner. In Albania that meant owning a lot of sheep. Basically he made himself prime minister first, then he decided that wasn't good enough and proclaimed himself a president. But that wasn't good enough either and he proclaimed himself a king. While officially a king he was the butt of jokes all over Europe. Apparently he smoked heavily, swore in public, burped at dinner tables and reportedly ate like a pig. He also always carried a gun with him all the time. A lot of people wanted to assassinate him. Once he actually sat in an open car when an assassin fired on him. He actually fired back. Now obviously King Zog was a brute with no manners and no class. Some may find his ways "admirable" because he made himself king and he didn't seem to care what others thought of him (or was too dumb to realize this). He had a few minions who were loyal to him and who worshiped him like a king. The bottom line is that he was a brute who somehow became a king. He was a king by title and is recorded as such in history. But he was also seen as a dinosaur with a crown and as such had no idea that all his brutish antics only worked against him. King Zog. Look him up. A brute's ideal version of what a king is like. "Most of the time the Dinobots are helping the autobots and not the autobots coming to rescue Dinobots. This indicates independence. " No, this indicates *rogue behavior* . Independence without responsibilities, obligations and limits is rogue at best and downright sociopathic at worst. Grimlock is a vassal. A vassal is in charge of his reign. During the Medieval era, the kings needed loyal vassals to control their parts of the kingdom. But vassal themselves could never control a kingdom because there were many other vassals willing to do the same. Sorry, but whatever assessment you have of Grimlock is certainly not backed up by something valid or factual. Footnote: You struck me as somebody rather unhinged, lost and fanatical so I took the liberty to verify my assessment of you by checking out your profile. Lo and behold I was right. Actually you are more fanatical and unhinged (a dangerous combination both for you and the poor souls around you) than I would have assumed. Long story short: You're not fit to assess anything.

The episode also highlighted how Cybertronian civilisation was seriously degraded, with most survivors of the Great War being unaware of their history as a species or even how they were created as individuals. Imagine soldiers from warring factions in the Middle East or Africa not knowing the basics of their own history or even how babies are made because they've never known anything but bloodshed.

I don’t know, “Code of Hero” is pretty good.

Yep. I love my G1 Bolt!

I did like how he played to Slingshot's ego to get them back to base then turned it around on him. A good way to lead.

heh G1 Silverbolt's introduction was similar to how Beast Wars Silverbolt introduced himself

Lmaoooooooo

kick his head

Yeah, that was pretty strange covering up Fireflight's complete introduction. I'm guessing there was an animation mistake that was covered up to save time and $$.

Yeah I laughed pretty hard at that one.

Wow, I've seen this episode a thousand times and never made the connection.

Incorrect. Han Solo's exact words were "Great shot kid, that was one in a million"...

"The Autobots have created a group of jets" "They dare?!" Yes, one of them is right behind you, dumbass.

I hope transformers g1 gets a reboot

@@darkneon5637 I honestly wouldn't want a G1 reboot cause I feel they got everything right the first time and I don't want hollywood taking a shot at replacing Peter and Frank as Optimus and Megatron

Yep... I remember talking about this in school the day after this episode aired... we were all blown away, haha!

They thought about making the Dinobots a combiner called Extinction. The proposed backstory was that the first time they tried him out, he was too powerful and impossible to control, thus too dangerous for Autobot and Decepticon alike so the Autobots locked out the combining function

In the DVD compilation, there's a feature that points out a whole bunch of them, it's actually hilarious

Still the main reason transformer toys sell to this day. 38 years later. The characters are unforgetable.

"O-ME-GAAA!!!"

Maybe they were all lost in the Bermuda Triangle?

Vacation time is vacation time😹

Probably dispersed across the planet. Presumably monitoring for Decepticon activity.

I thought was cool, because before EVEN knowing Menasor's profile(or any of the Stunticons for that matter) it seemed like he was just so conflicted and maybe in "pain" from merging into one being. Good stuff .

@@TANKTREAD 🤯 wow dude. I never thought of it that way! Fair point! 👍🏿

@@TANKTREAD yes. Motormaster is hated by the other 4 Stunticons.

Menasor was mimicking The Incredible Hulk.

Pretty on brand actually, decepticon combiners are mostly deranged psychotic monsters, while autobot combiners are emotionally stunted and singleminded to the point of tunnel vision.

I wish I had Silverbolt. G1 that is.

I still have it

Mission isn't complete soldier! You gotta get them back! We never get too old for transformers G1!

Oddly the Stunticons are incredibly competent in the G1 cartoon. Aside from being pushed strong here, they stay strong in most appearances. The Autobots need to plan very carefully to get them in Masquerade. Even then look at everything Menasor has done. He usually comes out on top. He beats Superion here, and is the only combiner to ever legitimately put down Bruticus.

@@JeremiahEcks777 not really they came up behind combatcons. The combatcons were low on energy because starscream didn't give them a recharge port.

@@terryxperry Err, Bruticus had just defeated Devastator and Megatron. If they were weak, they were still tough. Although Menasor did take them from behind, nothing else had worked at that point.

They all got jobbed by Sixshot

@PurpleRanger mine too. Fav combiner for me.

@@megadoomerr same here!

And the first combining team of Autobots

Paulsen didn't. Remember doing this guess he looked at it as a job and making tnds meet none of the vas knew how far transformers would be come

Prime actually mentions this earlier in the episode, when Alpha Trion merges with Vector Sigma: "He gave his life so six could be born.", or something among those lines. The sixth is Superion.

​@@thestigsdutchcousin I noticed he said six too. I was racking my brain on who was the sixth until you cleared it up for me. 😅

And with the aerialbots they now have chance at fighting in the skies now the decpectcons air domance is over.

G1 was created in 1980s so...

That's often been the case with all the leaders of the Combiner teams. Each leaders have their own personalities and quirks, but also possess traits of a natural-born leader who could give their faction leaders a run for their money (especially with Hot Spot).

Charlie Adler would replace Chris latta as the voice of cobra commander and starscream in the future

More precisely Alpha Trion's since he merged with the computer to help give them life.

@@kirongauff4934 good point.

@@jsttv Thanks.

​@@jsttv Megatron may have lost the key, but he still has a new set of wheels.

@@kirongauff4934 good point.

I'll never know how he could do Megatron's voice without his getting sore.

Superion's voice was still experimental. Sounded like Scrapnel from the Constructicons.

It appears they crashed on Earth and were revived in a manner similar to the Insecticons. Their non-robotic forms were re-molded to resemble Earth vehicles, but they didn't unite with the other transformers until later. By that time, the Protectobots had already already created their own hidden base. Since the group still found the base useful, they kept using it.

Decepticon combiners outnumbered their autobot counterparts

Yeh they were season 2 as well, just later. It’s unknown officially but assumed they crash landed from Cybertron

@@KingCrafter23 It's safe to say the "newer" Transformers crashed on Earth around the same time as the first-season ones. Note how in the two-parter "Desertion Of The Dinobots", Perceptor says something similar to, "After millions of years of being exposed to the Earth's atmosphere, a rare element essential to our survival has started to deteriorate."

That look Megatron's face of no longer having that advantage is something I still treasure to this very day!🤣🤣

Perhaps that's why he's always bragging, because he knows he was made to resemble the slowest aircraft among the 5.

It's also worth noting Slingshot almost always has his landing gear extended, further limiting his flight speed. In 'War Dawn' he was fighting the Decepticon F-15s with his wheels out 😂 but somehow still won!

@@9M-RAU I mean, he's also the only one of the 5 with VTOL at his disposal, so I guess that counts as something....

According to the Dreamwave MTMTE bio, he only brags to hide his inferior complex.

And Jack Fenton from Danny Phantom.

Yeah, Motormaster rules.

@@TANKTREAD his cartoon redesign and his voice are awesome. The original toy was very disapointing though.

@@alphatrion100 Yes, the original toy was well.. it was what it was. At that time, that's what we got and we accepted it. I do like the original toy, but these 3rd party toys that are available are freakin' AWESOME.

@@TANKTREAD i own the magic square stunticons. They are great. What you always wished the g1 toys looked like.

@@alphatrion100 What do you mean "magic square"? You mean 3rd party figures of the Stunticons?

Heck, in the same movie, Ultra Magnus is blown apart (much like Omega Supreme here) and the Junkions just reassemble him, give him a coat of wax, and he's fine. I always yelled at the screen "go get Optimus and bring him to Junk!"

Odd that, ain’t it?😓🤔

Well, Omega Supreme had a team working on him. During the time of the movie, most of that team was dead. Perceptor's specialty wasn't repairs on that level.

@Ed Findlay Except Prime refers to him as "old friend." Then again, what's "old" and "new" to a race that lives for millions of years?

He showed he was the inherently of Alpha with how he saw things and faced his fears. Then add into the paradox when Superion saves the young A3. Returning the favor to him.

Legacy Men as or is pretty accurate, though I think he could be slightly bigger

Superion was a crap toy. He kept falling apart when combined. Still loved my transformers

Prime sick if the laserbeak, ravage and rumble decides to create cassettes for blaster lol Everything the cons did the autobots copied The autobots came with the art of transforming first then the deceptions copied it and then created Megatron one of the first deceptions that can fly without having a jet mode Pthe cons came with the combiners ftrst then the cassettes then the triple changers than the six changers The autobots came with the headmaster concept first

To be honest all of G1 was constant arms race - if one side made something the other would copy from combiners to triple changers to city bots to six changers to headmasters, it was never ending. But it was the 80s, so it was on brand

@@wreday720 yeah it was Cold War commentary.

In the marvel comic book it was more evident. There was an entire issue about the autobots gathering/stealing datas to replicate the gestalt technology of Devastator.

Correction: One of the *ONLY* times Megatron berates Soundwave

@Emperor overkill Pretty much the same thing. By my count, there are three occasions where Megatron threatens or otherwise barks at Soundwave. If Galvatron counts, he does it a few times in carnage in C minor.

@@amitypredator9385 Yes. Galvatron counts and we all know why.

Soundwave: You're sleeping on the couch tonight! Megatron: But I still get to be the big spoon right? Soundwave: ........

He berated him in Auto Berserk after failing to get the negavator.

I was not a Beast Wars fan, but I appreciated Beast Machines.

This series borrows effects sounds from others like Star Wars and Doctor Who quite a bit. At 7:09 the machine is making the Dalek "heartbeat" sound, and the sound of Wheeljack's back door in the first episode is the Sonic Screwdriver.

Alpha trion didn't really die he transferred himself into vector sigma as you can plainly hear alpha trion talk to prime after he merged but if you wanna say alpha trion died go ahead

@@chrisedwards3214 His version was bad and he is a good voice actor. I prefer Ed Gilbert's voice for Superion in the War dawn episode the best.

@@chrisedwards3214 True. Only his body died, but his spirit lived on in Vector Sigma, and he even came back as a "ghost" in Season 4.

But I never seen them use the vtol at all

From what I can tell, Slingshot kind of has an inferiority complex. He knows he can't hold a candle to the others, but he still doesn't want anyone to think anything less of him. He's simply trying to protect his own pride, and I'm sure he goes too far sometimes. On the upside, if you do anything to impress him, you're going to hear him mention it. He won't keep it a secret. As much as he annoys me, this is something I have to give him credit for.

War Dawn was the best two episodes ever.

@@SJAlbury And it had to be. It took place in the timeline just weeks after the Vector Sigma two-parter. Comparisons in quality were absolutely unavoidable. :-)

@@Tricob1974 His motto is:"I'm better than I'm thinking!", which sums his personality. Slingshots fits the "jerk with a heart of gold" trope.

The Aerialbots along with The Dinobots are one of the few things that Wheeljack actually built that didn't explode up big in his face and unlike the Dinobots, the Aerialbots functioned properly and are less rebellious than the Dinobots.

Prime balances out his team. The ppl he selected to to accompany him to assignments are all carefully selected to that they cover all aspects of needs. He foresee his mentor/creator will run into some sort of trouble so Ratchet and Hoist and Wheeljack is needed. Blaster is needed for tracking abilities and Ironhide for some extra muscle coz u wouldn’t expect Prime to do all the fighting alone. Maybe Prime should also have brought Brawn along to give more fighting power.

I can’t blame him. I have a mild fear of heights, myself.

I'm guessing that the you get used to the fear and it naturally subsides after a few missions.

Yep! They are like immature teenagers. This is more evident in the episode "War Dawn", where they felt connection with the decepticon seekers because they were jets too, and Starscream took advantage of that to lure them into a trap.
