Nightmare Planet | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 3 | E19 | Hasbro Pulse 

I think the princess was a mix of Arcee and Carly in Daniel's mind. Arcee really should have been in this episode since she is so close to Daniel.

one of the few episodes that tried hard to show Rodimus prime in a good light and portray him in a way that was similar to how Optimus was. Caring and father like. it's also nice that they tried to remind fans that Rodimus and Daniel are close friends even after he stopped being Hot Rod, Daniel dreaming about Rodimus being there for him is like a kid imagining their older sibling being there to protect them

Spike- We didn't know what to do about the nightmares. Me- Here's a thought. Sit down with him. Talk to him and find out what the nightmare was about.

I loved Razorclaw's jerkiness in the episode. 😆 Rodimus sure knows a lot about humanity's pop culture stories, and it was a good thing too!

2:57 “Predaking has the power, he needs nothing more.” (EDIT: he needs the touch.)

It was so funny with Rodimus just walking in after Daniel woke up from a nightmare.

[5:34] "Grrr. You're making me sick, Autobot." Natural side effects of Autobot friendship may include chivalry; nausea; prompt, inexplicable butt-clenching; and acts of machismo.

This is the first TF episode I ever saw, so I have a lot of nostalgia for it.

This episode is kinda dark with the Quintissons kidnapping Daniel and experimenting on him. I also like the colour scheme and designs here. Sadly it seems there were budget issues but it’s still not an awful episode.

This episode reminds me of Lost Light except that in that the bots are trapped in their own dreams and memories rather than someone else’s because it’s an optimized user experience.🤖

Now how on earth was Rodimis Prime able to fit in Danny's room at the end of the episode 😳

6:26 Rodimus has obviously seen "The Wizard of Oz".

I'm surprised a Decepticon would be interested by the promise of gold...

When the princess said it didn't matter where they were, that should have been Springer's first clue that something was wrong.

I don’t know what’s crazier that they’re all trapped in Danny’s nightmares with some fairy tale references or they’re actually somewhat cooperating with each other. This episodes crazy but that’s why I love it!

The only thing I kind of enjoy in this episode is that the individual Predacons get a few lines of dialogue and some screentime and Springer with a lance riding Razorclaw. One of my least favourite episodes.

I had 1 episode of transformers on VHS as a child, and it had to be this one.

Ahh the sleep paralysis episode. Very scary. Would have been better if Daniel himself fought the monsters. He did save dad in the movie so he is capable of doing heroic stuff.

Nightmare Planet was another episode that i have a lot of fond memories watching on VHS and it was certainly one of the most emotional of the 3rd season, the concept of the Quintessons experimenting on Daniel and using his nightmares against the Autobots to destroy them was very twisted. I loved the role that Rodimus Prime played in this one and it was good to see him still having that 'brotherly' relationship with Daniel that he had when he was Hot Rod. I quite liked that the Autobots and the Predacons had to work together just to survive especially when they were already in battle with each other. The highlight of the episode for me was when the giant Galvatron and Rodimus did battle in the funhouse. The little moment where Rodimus gives Daniel a little smile after not having to worry about the scary monsters was a nice ending.

This episode is written by Beth Bornstein, she recently wrote season 2 episodes "The Search For Alpha Trion" and "Child's Play".

Some scenes have incredible animation then others I’m like who the hell drew this.

14:22 I see that even back then in the 80s a mention of ethics in human subject research was in order. Way to go Transformers! There never rose a cartoon series quite like it!

Galvatron is definitely a threat on par with a Jack-in-the-box clown and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The giant finds metal robots “tasty?” 🤣

Interesting how there were TWO "From the Secret Files of Teletraan II" tacked on to the end of this episode? That and the whole episode being a dream is just strange.

This was a pretty deep episode, just like our minds and how our dreams can't feel so real ... One of my favorites !

6:00 so literally Rodimus has *RED* eyes.

I wished they used Unicron in the dream. Would have been more frightening!

Also, I noticed a few spots in this episode where Rodimus' eyes are red.

Springer's humor at 16:57 always made me laugh so hard.🤣😂

Seems Beth Bornstein had seen Nightmare on Elm Street one too many times.

Man this was the first episode I ever watched of this series. The part that really brings it back for me is the autobot/decepticon badge when they go to the next scene and the little “duh duh duh duh…..duh”

This was one of the best animations growing up!

RIP Jack Angel.

Razorclaw was great in this.

6:12 I think rodimus was watching the wizard of oz with wreck-gar

1:12 this is so cute that Rodimus wants to comfort Daniel.❤

11:21 Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahh... (poor divebomb)

Springer doesn't need gold but Razorclaw LMAO he want's gold I like how Predaking is in the Transfomers Prime series doesn't need to combine with anyone he's just a dragon.

2:45 a werewolf, a demon, and Frankenstein's monster. Oh, and I saw Dracula in one shot!

Say what you will about Rodimus. But I think he makes a good big brother figure for Daniel.

Love how Rodimus decks that clown

This episode is so awesome. I don't remember watching this when I was a kid.

I just realizd Beth Bornstein wrote two of my favorite episodes: Child's Play and Nightmare Planet. Child's Play was innocent fun, where I thought Nightmare Planet was a darker showing.

Love the Predacons. They make the best combining fighter.

Ah, yes, the episode where Rodimus Prime's Optics turned into Red and Blue everytime he appears ON screen.

This is just like that episode of gi joe where the joes kept having nightmares and it was up to lowlight to save the day.

4:34 It sounded like the dragon was singing 😆

Was anyone else aware this first aired on Halloween?

i love the transformers

Razorclaw: But the battle between the Predacons and Autobots continue, in 2001!

Springer is a Wrecker. He can handle anything!

Dang ….Daniel threw everything at them

- At the beginning of Transformers: The Movie, Hot Rod refers to Daniel as "Danno". After that he's pretty consistently "Daniel"... until suddenly in this episode, everyone is suddenly calling him "Danny". - Rodimus: "Hold on Headstrong, he's not the real thing... look how big he is!" Headstrong (in my mind): "Oh, damn, I thought that was just one of the countless size discrepancies in this series!" 😆 - Why does Razorclaw care about gold? - The number of times they mistakenly color Rodimus Prime's eyes red becomes truly distracting. - At 9:21, Springer says he has a plan to escape, and asks for Razorclaw's help. Then it cuts away. Then by the time it gets back to Springer and Razorclaw, they've already escaped, have found the hidden magic lance, and are fighting the dragon. Then, at the end of the episode, it apparently ran so short that there are 2 "Secret Files Of Teletraan II" tacked on. This kinda suggests they ran out of either money or time when animating this episode, and just never got around to making that sequence. 😁

Had this on vhs as a kid. 1st introduction to predaking, loved it.

4:23 "at last we printed songs will be victorious"

13:05 again, Rodimus' has red eyes.

"Get him, Rodimus!" I think he means "Get him, Giant Me!"

When I was a kindergarten Kid, G1 series aired in a new TV channel that showed up in my country. My Dad recorded this for me on our VCR and thus I watched the episodes numerous times :) So when I saw "Nightmare planet" I knew exactly what it will be, despite not watching this for nearly 30 years :) good times :) Anyway, is the voice actor for Springer the same as for Ace McCloud from Centurions?

What bugs me is that Galvatron already was a giant to Daniel; how would making him bigger be scary? He's scary enough!

My first Transformers episode, the first one I ever saw and it was part of a VHS colection

LOL@ the magic ball attack on the predacons.

This is probably the most characterization the OG predacons ever got. Especially Razorclaw.

If only zombie optimus was included in daniel's nightmare

Where are you when we need you, Andre The Giant?

Wasaaitsminute. The witch... That voice line came straight from Voltron

“My son is having a recurring nightmare about giant robots. I’d better send a giant robot to his room to comfort him.”

"You can't get away, Danny! I've got you!" 😈😈😈😈😈

Some of the choppy animation reminded me of Chargeman Ken. I laughed more than anything.

13:40 so, the stabbing scene is cut here. I wish it was to be shown.

WHY IS RODIMUS WATHCING DANNY SLEEP?

This is the one where the new ost themes premiered!

This episode taught me that if for nothing else, Daniel has one really F***ed up mind. I think I also seem to recall this episode aired on Halloween day, 1986.

arcee even in transformers prime Acts like a robot mom to the teenage human. because she is very motherly.

This episode had some good animation

Used to have this on vhs, now watching it for the first time in over 30 years

I have the feeling that the witch and those other monsters were working for the giant galvatron.

What were the Quintessons trying to get out of daniels mind to do what with the information that would get them back to cybertron? They were doing experimentals on daniel because of a reason to get back to cybertron but not sure what is was

This whole episode revolves around a child's battle-inspired ptsd night terrors? 🤣 The 80s were wild!

The autobots definitely got supernatural help, the princess representing Daniels mother was no doubt his guardian angel in disguise who could speak to him directly in his unconscious state and whose words cut razorclaw to his core that caused him help springer.

Emotionless yes right, how come they've feeling for each other and all life.

Be careful, Springerrrrr!

11:36 Is it me or does Galvatron sound exactly like Megatron?

Quintesson are truly the main antagonist of the transformers universe

5:58 Rodimus Prime had res eyes

Madam Mim isn't going to be too happy about that pink dragon.

How did Rodimus, Springer, Ultra Magnus, and the predacons get inside Danny's mind in the first place.

Nice script for the predacons making them the most rude decepticon.. but the dinobots could always trample them..hehe..Onetime good old grimlock single handedly torched them with a single blow of napalm fire

Rodimus with red optics? Woah

Accurate representation of my fever dream

Woah, Razorclaw just referenced the Covid-19 predicament at 4:42 and told Springer to keep his distance from him. He's a smart lion.🦁

It's two block the dark powers from getting my world and life! It's evil on androids also!

I thought the princess was Carly (Daniel's mom)

Love it how Cyclonus can't retain his accent or pitch

This episode is just hilarious. I like the mix the three Autobots and the Predicons.

17:25 Let's Get the Heck out of Here.

Looks like Springer is in love.

This has to be the worst cut and errors episode yet.

17:59 Just a lucky guess (lol).

How on earth did the quintisons sneak into the bedroom under the noses of spike Carly and rodimus ?
