Prime Target | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E34 | Hasbro Pulse 

“Amazing. A booby trap that actually catches boobies.” Probably one of the most ICONIC lines ever spoken by Peter Cullen himself.

I like how a British hunter managed to nearly do more damage to the Autobots in one episode than the Decepticons in the entire show.

3:51 the autobots watching that sitcom is underrated tbh

15:44 Ha ha, I always loved how the hunter in his English accent says from his control room "That BLARSTED fool." Then it cuts to Astrotrain saying the same line in the same accent without rhyme or reason. LOL

15:55 The Iconic quote from this episode

15:55 Anyone miss the days when Optimus was fun, had a sense of humor, and said lines like these?

I like how Bumblebee was sarcastically praising Tracks. G1 Prime has it all: emotions, leadership and father-figure

Optimus Prime: "Amazing! A booby trap that actually catches boobies...!" That was some double entendre quote right here!

“Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies”-Optimus Prime 1985

This is one of the best episodes. Optimus Prime shows he does have a temper.

I love the throwaway reference to the Second Boer War, that puts both the old guys at around 110 years old.

Loved the casual killing of the "Borneo dragon" by Optimus.

I really like Optimus in this episode, mainly with his Father figure personality when going alone to save the others and his humour personality with, well booby traps

“It’s a booby trap, that actually captures boobies” My new favourite quote

This is probably one of my favorite G1 episodes simply because of how bonkers it is.

That billboard grabbing Blaster, I will NEVER figure out how in the hell that was possible.

I love Blitzwing and Astrotrain. They are like a Beavis and Butthead😂

"As the Kitchen Sinks" gets me every time. XD

I do love the random inclusion of Diana from the Oktober Guard [USSR's GI Joe] as the pilot for the fighter

Starscream : Especially he has done more in 2 days , than you have in 2 years ! 😂😂😂😂

After a time trip to a land of magic and dragons, I didn't think these stories could get any wackier. Yet this one is head and shoulders above any other I've watched to date. Those arms reaching out from the billboard are a work of surrealist art. I mean, it doesn't look like some mechanism, these are genuine arms. Lord Chumlee has channelled the power of his imagination to grab Blaster and fold him like a Rubik's cube. It's like some concept of Salvador Dali, only in Transformers cartoon form. It's a certain relief to hear Starscream finally say out loud what we've all been thinking. And Megatron can't handle the truth, heh heh heh. And dang, for this warm and protective father figure, Optimus really has a ruthless streak. It may not be the 1940s and the height of the gulag system anymore, but handing Chumlee with the stolen aircraft to the Soviets is still either a death sentence or a lifetime in a Siberian penal colony.

Wow, this may be the only episode I've seen Optimus in a sore mood.

11:40 My god, I never noticed before. Optimus Prime is actually flying in truck mode as you can see a rocket on his trailer. Mind blown.

Optimus Prime: If That Was Your Best Shot, Chumley? You're In Deep Trouble!

3:51 I felt their pain. News interruptions are the worst

4:42 Prime's container is parked under teletran

Damn, Blitzwing was fully willing to crush what he thought a defenseless woman in cold blood. Even if a trap, it's the intention.

'The Most Dangeous Game" but starring Autobots. One of the best episodes showcasiing why Optimus Prime commands awe and fear with both friends and foes, while also not forgetting the humor he has. Why more modern versions can't seem to find this balance is beyond frustrating. These days, he's presented as either too brutal, too soft, or just plain stupid.

16:10 that butler had the best line

11:03 Starscream's quick quip stings deeply.

Definitely an absurd but funny episode. Love it when Prime finally had enough and just plowed through the remaining attacks to rescue the other Autobots.

Drat! outsmarted by a lorry (truck). This line cracks me up

Prime sentenced that man to death by giving him to the soviets. Ruthless!🤣🤣🤣

Love how they all groaned when their soap opera was interrupted lol

I love that some decepticons were just walking down an alleyway in the city… holographic or not nobody thinks it’s strange

Optimus Prime “Amazing a booby trap that actually catches boobies,” B/W Megatron “When expecting a booby trap always send the boob in first,”

I love how Optimus Prime goes full Jack Bauer mode in this episode.

11:05 Missed oportunity for Starscream to say 2 million yearsss 🤣

G1 just had this charm to it that you don't really see in a lot of the more modern shows, i kinda miss it

The one scene in this episode was the ending with the look on Chumly's face when the Autobots returned the Russian jet he stole along with him all tied up on the top of the nose of the plane and how both the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union thanked Optimus for bringing peace.

7:18 Those hands grabbing Blaster still gives me the creeps!

Peter Cullen has gone on record that his brother the late Captain Larry Cullen was the primary inspiration for Optimus Prime’s voice, and I don’t doubt that, but I’ve always heard a little bit of John Wayne in there too.

One of my favorite episodes. Just now noticed that the butler got away though.

Man this hunter is nuts. He wants everything no matter the cost. Even nearly starting WWIII. Good thing he was stopped.

"What a shame. Don't you know it's dangerous to play with poison Mrs. Black Widow?" Best sentence of this great episode 🙂

"Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies." I wonder how many takes Peter Cullen had to do for that ..... I'm sure everyone was busting out laughing!

THAT BLASTED FOOL YOU BLASTED FOOL Astro train is british change my mind

Optimus Prime at his best!

7:17 Ok seriously how the did Chumley pull this off?

Optimus: We have no evidence that the Decepticons are behind this! As if that ever stopped him before 😂😂

I also love how the humans are just as big a threat as the decepticons.

I love that the bad guy in this is a Brit and that he and his personal gentleman's gentleman are both so gross and nasty that they manage to lump in "The Humane Society" with the Deceptions. That is well researched writing.

I love the Autobots watching soap operas

So, a big game hunter holds some Autobots hostage in order to capture Optimus Prime and mount his head on a wall. Dude, you already captured *6* Autobots. That’s all the prize Ya need, dude. Quit while you’re ahead.

So cool to watch these again, this was one of my favorite episodes as a kid!

As The Kitchen Sinks is probably the greatest name for a soap opera ever!

We definitely need more Optimus centered episodes and movies. I heard that the new upcoming movie will have Prime as the main focus which i really find excellent. Enough is enough with the Bubblemania

Optimus joke at 15:55 is so funny to me somehow

The fact that Lord Chumley attracted both the notice and token respect of Megatron is a statement in itself. Usually Megatron shows contempt for humans.

8:17 I can't stop laughing after he saw the dummy and dropped it.

The Autobots are fans of soap operas,who would've thought?

The Autobots watching tv sitcom. Never thought I would see this scene but it happen now, thank u Transformer G1!! For all the humors.

Starscream: he has done more in 2 days then you have in 2 years 💀

Definitely prefer this Prime to the stoic, preachy guy from Hollywood-ized English mythology.

15:55 Amazing.

7:36 - 7:40 This and Aron playing with the Autobots and Decepticons in Child’s Play are probably the closest we’re ever going to get to seeing actual Transformers toys in Universe.

19:06 A bear trap? How cliche, Chumley! I'm dissapointed with you!

lol hes hunting autobots but nothing when a radio just flys in the window into his lap. even the 80s had the This Fine meme 🤣

pause sometime at 0:27 and it looks like Optimus and Megatron are huggin it out lol

I wanted to hear the big reveal on 'As 'The Kitchen Sinks'! I've been scouring the tv and the internet for 36 years!

one of funniest g1 episodes, because how silly those autobot got captured 😆

10:46 Well, you _did_ kidnap some of Optimus Prime's Autobots and started torturing them on live television, Chumley. I honestly think it serves you right.

This episode is comedy genius.

These Autobots were watching a soap opera...lol!

I always really liked this episode as a kid because Prime was so epic in it but l just wish they'd gone for a more serious villain and more believable scenarios in how he captured the Autobots..Still it was Prime at his best so I'll forgive the silliness.

The most iconic line ever in the Transformers universe

16:30Chumly, you're one royal pain in the diode.

Always thought Astrotrain said “a perfect shot!” in a really cool way. :)

15:40 That iconic line from Optimus Prime in this episode of Transformers G1 never gets old! Also I love how the big game hunter Chumlee had called Blitzwing "Blasted Fool" & then immediately afterward Astrotrain then said it & tried to get his fellow triple Changer out, only to find out that the trip is impenetrable & then questions Blitzwing how does he even get himself into these messes.

16:33 Meaning, that Prime is getting really annoyed by your tricks, Chumley!

dang a small group of humans capturing autobots more successful than decepticons

I miss transformers please bring back this show Optimus prime is my favorite autobot

The only time the Decepticons will ever be compared to the Humane Society.

That hunter almost started a war

"We interrupt As The Kitchen Sinks for this special news bulletin!" X'D

October Guard. Love the GI Joe references in Transformers

Whatever happened on as the Kitchen Sinks were still waiting LOL!

The Autobots watching a Soap Opera and all being disappointed when the news came on...genius!

3:51 The sillies

15:35 A boobie trap that actually captured boobies - Optimus Prime

Hunter: That blasted fooI! Astro: You blasted fool! Edit: I remember watching this as a kid and being so infuriated at that hunter. Good times.

15:37 I love the fact that the decepticons wanted to stop to stomp the lady dead instead of helping here lol

You tend to forget how old this show is until you see things like a Soviet Pilot, a direct mention to the tensions between the Soviet Union and United States during the Cold War, and in previous episodes, the World Trade Center

00:16:30 Chumly You're 1 Royal Pain In The Diode! Snapped G1 Optimus Prime.

Ah yes, my favourite transformers episode where the autobots are horribly tortured for the benefits of others! Optimus Prime also says a funni

Amzing a boobytrap that actually catches boobies Best optimus prime line ever

Can’t believe the british are more dangerous then the decepticons

I love how 2 old dudes managed to capture the freaking Autobots in a half hour through sheer shenanigans than the Decepticons have been able to In millions of years.

prime is such a badass

Never doubt that this is the true nature of the rich.
