I WOULD'VE LOVED THIS AS A KID!!!!The Transformers Episodes 1-3 Reaction 

Once this video gets over 1000 views Ill do the next 3 episodes

As a toy, Optimus came as three units: cab, trailer (which could double as Autobot headquarters), and the car Roller. As it said in the tech specs, injury to one will be felt by the other two.

There are a _lot_ of animation errors in the original cartoon. The reason that Starscream's voice sounds so deep at first is because he's not the one speaking, it's Thundercracker. They either animated the wrong mouth or swapped the colors. At 7:27 for example, you'll see that they drew Thundercracker red instead of blue so it looks like there's two Starscreams in the fight.

Mirage turns invisible, Sky Warp "warps", he disappears and reappears somewhere else, like Nightcrawler in the X-Men. The voice of Bumblebee in this series was voiced by the same actor who voiced Spider-Man in the series Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, which was also a Sunbow cartoon. Frank Welker (of course) also provided voices in that series. Scatman Cruthers voiced Jazz, he was the actor who played Dick Hallorann in the movie The Shining. He was also the voice of a popular 70's cartoon character, Hong Kong Phooey. Cliffjumper was voiced by Casey Kasem who was a super popular radio DJ and voice actor. He was the original voice of Shaggy in Scooby Doo as well as the voice of Robin in the Superfriends cartoon. Michael Bell who voiced Prowl, the police car that triggers your PTSD, also voiced a character on the Superfriends. He was Zan, brother of Janya who together were the Wonder Twins. Bell also voiced Duke on the G.I. Joe cartoon, another Sunbow series. Duke was the team leader in the cartoon for most of the series. His voice is distinctive enough that when he showed up in live-action TV, it drove me crazy as kid trying to place where I knew him from. He showed up several times on Three's Company as different characters and he was in the pilot for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Chris Latta voiced Starscream and he also voiced Cobra Commander on G.I.Joe using pretty much the same voice. He finally gets to be leader until a Cobra Emperor comes along and essentially puts him in the same place as Starscream, and Cobra Commander is not happy about it!

These videos are from the master negatives likely. Before they would have aired, they would have been checked over for mistakes, those clips sent back to be redone before broadcast. Sadly, the negatives have been found and released, but the broadcast copies don’t seem to still exist. During the second season, this process became rushed, so there were funny mistakes that made it to broadcast more often. They’re memorable to fans.

"No! I'm going to end your hunger once and for all!" *Pimp slaps him*

The original toy line had more Autobots than Decepticons. When they made the cartoon they took they Seeker characters and multiplied them, changing the colors, to increase their numbers. This way they out number the heroes by a great number.

Do the Bumblebee movie!!!

Wow you took me right back to my childhood!!! I haven't seen these in decades! So glad you did this video-it's AWESOME!!!! Keep up the amazing work Sexy Nerd!!!

The bumbelbee movie is great! (Or at least one of the better tf movies lol). It’s actually in a separate universe to the bay movies, and Rise Of The Beasts comes directly after it.

I've been waiting for someone to react to these. Thank you!!

This was what I remember as a kid. Starscream!!

optimus in this show sounds like real hero not a killer he sound like a true hero that dont screens and tear faces have love and care and mercy that why g1 optimus is best he not a killer he hero

2:49 Steve Blum voices Starscream in Tramsformers Earthspark. Also did so previously in Transformers Prime and Robots in Disguise (2015).

Can't for season 1 episode 13!

5:30 Cullen also borrowed heavily from John Wayne’s speech patterns for G1 Optimus.

Shockwave guardian of cybertron

the black and white autobot with white head and red 4 head is prowl and jazz is one with blue visor and black head the one that red and black with rocket launder is sideswipe the one with red visor with cassettes is soundwave

I was 11 in 1984 when this dropped!

It's about time you got this up hope you get Bayformers up soon and see your nephew again😁

To be honest Mr. Cullen can still do that voice even though he's older now same with frank walkers Megatron. Its just that its headed on his vocal cord's. It has more of a John Wayne vibe to it. In the movies cause he had a lot less dialogue so he made his lines sound a lot more epic in that low register baritone sound. Its all awesome

Starscream was with the deep voice until Megatron appeared, then his balls got inside out of panic 😳 the big gun he has there 😅

Friend, this show was made for 10 year Olds. Don't over think it

why optimus didt time becomes the fireing was not so power full in show becomes back in day when he got killl off kids lock they in rooms that what happen

Shockwave is guardian of Cybertron, literally guarding the planet for Megatron. His function is “Military Operations Commander”. This is the primary reason Megatron left him behind while they went to follow the Autobots to earth.

FYI the 1986 Transformers movie is set between season 2 and 3 of this TV series.

And ironically Doug covers Transformers on Wednesday. That would be wild!

If you want to learn more I recommend the video series transformers the basics, it goes into detail on many characters and lore, I highly recommend it

TILL ALL ARE ONE!!!!! HASBRO MAKES A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY THAT TRANSFORMERS FANS GETS TO CELEBRATE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT FOR ITS 40th ANNIVERSARY!!!!! WATCH THE FIRST 4 EPISODES OF THE ORIGINAL TRANSFORMERS SERIES from 1984 IN THEATERS!?!?!?!? MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!!!!! TICKETS GO ON SALE APRIL 10th!!!!!!!!!

25:24 ha ha ha ha! Pure evil, they are!

Would love to see you react to more of this show. The only G1 reactions I can seem to find are of the 1986 movie. I get that's a whole ass movie, but c'mon guys. Especially since evidently all of G1 is now officially free to watch on RU-vid via the Hasbro Pulse channel, there's no reason not to react to it.

13:49 I mean, they’re giant ass robots that fly and talk. Also? Prime’s got himself some window tiddies. Perfectly alien to me. Ha ha!

If you're talking about the WFC and FOC games, those are not part of the G1 continuity, like, they're different stories

You should definitely watch Trandformers Prime if you want to see an actually great Transformeds show. Aside from some rough animation early on, Prime is easily the best transformers show and probably one of the best ‘shows for kids that adults will enjoy’. Highly suggest you watch the first 5 episodes as they are an arc, and then if you like what you see consider making a series. 4 or 5 other RU-vidrs have done reaction series on it and it’s on RU-vid, so it seems copyright safe

unlike the live action movies the motive of every show was making energon cubes. Earths power plants were a favorite destination. the autobots unexplained lost the ability to fly after these episodes. most Decepticons can fly weather a plane or not. You remember Hound was played by John Goodman in the movies. Throughout the series Star scream was always trying to take over command

Even if you don't do any more of the cartoons, you may wish to react to Dr. SMOOV's dubs, Shockwave 's Burden and a few others. They are hilarious!

In the marvel comics shockwave tried to take over the decepticons, in this show he remained loyal

we need more eps

The original series had a lot of Animation errors. Also Beast Wars is Kind of in the same continuity as G1

Do TFP and Animated

3:04 pls warch the bumblebee movie

34:00 Transformers came out 1 month before Terminator in September 1984, and Terminator in October.

29:01 even though he’s technically an immigrant? I’d still vote for Prime.

You are hilariously funny lol😂😂😂 I am enjoying your reaction to this transformers 86. I’m cracking up over here in Baton Rouge lol lol lol😂😂😂

This show and the Bay movies are 2 totally different things

Optimus Prime is 3 individual components, not just his humanoid robotic self. His trailer and roller are also “Optimus Prime”.

if you dont know roller is a spy for autobots that optimus carrys in he trailer

how about soon you react to bumblebee movie

Bro you've gotta do the movie from 1986!
