THE BEST TRANSFORMERS G1 EPISODES 

"Sea Change" is probably my favorite episode. As silly as that magical transmogrification pool is, I love that the episode deals with a heavy existential theme. Seaspray is willing to DIE in order to find out if he has a soul or not. That's dark stuff.

Honestly, My favorite ep gotta be the Search of Alpha Trion, I really liked Elita-one and Optimus's relationship and Chormia and Ironhide's relationship and loved the female transformer G1 designs and their interactions, Also Shockwave is the best girl in that ep.

The Secret of Omega Supreme is my favorite episode of the series. I like the idea of Omega Supreme and the Constructicons being friends before Megatron took control of the Constructicons and Crystal City looked amazing for that time.

"You are either lying or you're stupid. I'm stupid I'm stupid". Mums favourite dialogue in the series.

Peter Cullen pretty much sums up my feelings about the movies at 3:25 ...I don't need to hear Optimus Prime saying that $#!π (he's a soldier, but he's no war-mongering murderer). It took me several months to finish AOE because I just got fed up hearing OP smash out of the barn yelling "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" ...bah. And to this day I haven't finished TLK, nor do I intend to.

The "We will kill them all" line is totally justified given the situation.

You know it, I’m a old dude, 47. In Europe it was SKY Channel that we can see in the Netherlands, loved HE-MAN and the masters of the universe. Then “the Transformers” game. Born in 1976, a kid in the 80’s its was f.. cool. Don’t fuck it up, was a thing at the time,

Transformers is going to be 40 years old and five nights at Freddy’s is going to be 10 years old time moves to fast man.

My three favourite episodes are Web World, Triple Takeover and Heavy Metal War. Web World is great and really resonated with me, for pretty much the exact reasons Vangelus stated. Triple Takeover is just chaos, and endlessly iconic with all its memorable scenes. (It also helps that Triple Changers are my favourite type of Transformer) Heavy Metal War just really stuck out to me, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because I just like the atmosphere of Optimus and Megatron fighting 1-on-1 while their armies watch.

I still want to interpret the ending of Hoist Goes Hollywood as Hoist pulling a Bugs Bunny by threatening to do exactly what the Decepticons want and it kind of works. Speaking as someone who actually did see these the day they first aired (I was six when More Than Meets The Eye part one aired), I can confirm that Return was too little too late for most of us. And it took me years to realize the voice of Cyclonus and Unicron was the guy who played Harry Mudd in the original Star Trek.

Webworld is my favorite. Followed by Triple Takeover and The Starscream Ghost episodes.

Ultimate Doom and Countdown to Extinction are really under rated and my top episodes. Megatrons Master Plan is pretty good too. Nice seeing human government/military actually getting involved. Starscreams Brigade and Revenge of Bruticus. Headmasters. Fire in the Sky. The first three pilot episodes.

11:28 I think I watched this scene like five or six times laughing. I'd completely forgotten about it. Octane is a bot of culture. 27:15 same

Roger C Carmel was quality as Harry S Mudd in Star Trek. When he is in scenes with Spock, it always makes me think about Unicron and Galvatron!

Honestly, I think if I had to pick my favorite, it might be Web world that one’s always stood out to me even as a kid they just something about it that creeps me the hell out and I think it’s the voice acting.

3 day mini series that turned into a multi billion dollar franchise

My favorite is season 2, episode 30 “Childs play” 👌

awesome job about THE BEST GENERATION ONE EPISODES Collection from Transformers 40th Anniversary

"Roll for it" is my favorite. the Jet judo scene is memorable, some of the best lines. Almost everyone gets featured.

oddly enough, Jack Angel, who took over as Cyclonus after Harry Mudd's passing, said that Roger "stuffed too much [nose candy] up his nose and died". Roger's Unicron voice is basically just his Bruticus voice.

The best animations which are my favorite are Call of the Primitives, the Killing Jar, and The Return of Optimus Prime part 2. My favorite episode will always be Dark Awakening with the zombie Optimus Prime.

1:28:22 Energon Universe Starscream: Allow me to introduce myself.

Apparently some Transformers can change molecular structures and also size. Like Megatron when transforms from robot to gun and vise versa.

I was going to mention Dr. Smoov, but I see you are well aware of his genius.

Really wish Call of the Primitives was on this list.

I hope all transformers show and 86 Movie will be on Paramount Plus

Two episodes of the TF sticks in my head, one was “Starscream’s Brigade”. I liked how Bruticus easily beats Devestator and Starscream almost becomes the Decepticon’s new leader until the Stunticons intervened. The second episode; “Masquerade” where the Autobots captured and disguised themselves as the Stunticons. When I first saw this episode I thought the jig was up after the Menasor broke free and informed Megatron that those were fake Stunticons. When the fake stunticons formed Menasor, thanks to Windcharger’a magnetic field and Mirage’s projection, my bottom jaw fell to the ground.

My favorite episodes of season one will and shall always be “Fire On The Mountain”,” S.O.S Dinobots “, “War of the Dinobots” and “Heavy Metal War”. Season two it’s: ”A Prime Problem “,“ Microbots”,”Insecticon Syndrome”, “Blaster’s Blues”, “ The Secret of Omega Supreme”, “Auto Bop”, “Triple Takeover “, “ Key to Vector Sigma parts 1&2”, “War Dawn”. Season three: “Five Faces of Darkness parts 1-5”, “Madman’s Paradise”, “Grimlock’s New Brain” and the two episodes “Starscream’s Ghost “ & “ Ghost in the Machine”.

Tell Vangelus that Diane Duane, who co-wrote the episode Webworld with comic legend Len Wein, did indeed have experience as a psychiatric nurse, used those experiences when writing the episode.

my favorites include some mentioned here (Triple Takeover, Webworld, Enter the Nightbird, Starscream's Ghost/Ghost in the Machine, Starscream's Brigade, Search for Alpha Trion, etc), but also Traitor, Changing Gears, The -China- Insecticon Syndrome, Masquerade, Fight or Flee, Countdown to Extinction, Chaos, and The Burden Hardest to Bear.

I really like the burden hardest to bear (scourge gets the matrix and rodimus accepsts leadership And dark awakening is also pretty good

Ok Here's Mine 20. SOS Dinobots 19. The Master Builders 18. The Golden Lagoon 17. Webworld 16. Enter the Nightbird 15. Heavy Metal War 14. The God Gambit 13. The Rebirth 12. Call of The Primitives 11. The Key To Vector Sigma 10. The Ultimate Doom 9. Attack of The Autobots 8. More Then Meets The Eye 7. Five Faces of Darkness 6. The Search for Alpha Trion 5. Fire In The Sky 4. Dinobot Island 3. Starscream's Brigade/The Revenge of Bruticus 2. The Return of Optimus Prime 1. War Dawn

Triple takeover is one of my favorite episode especially the line we’re blitzwing told constructicons to go build a bridge and jump off it that always makes me laugh

I believe 6:10 was the last straw for Starscream to decide to dump Megatron into the trash bin after the attack to Autobot City. 😅

Autobot Spike will always be my personal favorite episode

Decepticons make for better or more interesting characters (it gets evened out in season 3)

PROWL! is one of my favorite characters

Although referencing her giving birth to the worst human in g1 is golden

I watch G1 episodes virtually every day, and then BW or any other series that I fancy. I watch the movie regularly as well. Probably 3-4 episodes of Transformers a day on average. Season 3 is the best overall. I think my favourite may be Dark Awakening or Heavy Metal War.

Just curious Cam, is Beast Wars up next? Love to hear your thoughts on all the episodes and how they are ranked too.

Call of the Primitives was one of my favourites.

My favorites are The Key to Vector Sigma 1&2, Starscream's Brigade, The Revenge of Bruticus, Dinobot Island 1&2

Exellent yeeeesssss.

Webworld is why I always see cyclonus as skywarp, cause bombshell would never care and Skywarp was a loyal follower Also yes…Triple Takeover is a shitpost and Im all here for it

It's pretty funny, I just noticed at 39:26 Windcharger mysteriously becomes a Decepticon. They drew the wrong insignia. . . how on earth did that happen?

I never actually saw the first half of Triple Takeover (and thus didn't even know what the episode was CALLED) until the G2 rehash of the episodes in 1992/93. A series of circumstances in the original run/reruns somehow made it so I only got to it _at the earliest_ by around the time just before Astrotrain couldn't lead rats to a garbage can. As such I was VERY confused as to why Megatron and Starscream were frozen, and Ironhide's line "We shoulda taken care of those two when we had the chance" hinted at something that didn't even pay off when I saw the whole thing finally, which just confused me more.

War Dawn will always be my favorite. The Search for Alpha Trion and The Secret of Omega Supreme are great as well.

The Jetfire episode sticks out for some reason.

Wheeljack's immobilizer effect looks like the petrification (stone) status effect.

51:30 , there was someone in the fandom that Suggested that Starscream and Megatron are related like Father and son, which kind of makes sense. Just saying.

what the name of that soundtrack jazz use in the video I know its theme tf theme but it called is it remix or something

The story of Raul and Tracks seemingly was used in TF: RISE OF THE BEASTS considering that 1. Raul is obviously Hispanic. 2. Noah like Raul steal but aren't bad people and were forced to do so. 3. Both Noah and Raul become friends with an Autobot that cares for his looks. 4. The ROTBs initiated in NYC. In ROTBs I was wondering why the story was a bit familiar at first, so I liked it until the Michael Bay stain on the film got visible with his meddling behind the camera, and the bleh soundtrack. It hurt because the BUMBLEBEE movie was really good as a reboot and this following it was great, till of course it got Bayified.

You will respect my authoritah!

I would have also accepted "Snow-mech" (Fire in the Sky) :P

Autobot logic .. let’s not give us away to human we disguise as car . Also Autobots: let’s make robot dinosaur no one would know .

Megatron thirsty for Nightbird.

i had one worry about the electrum fountain. How did all the nature creatures not poison themselves/get really good and sick from the pond?

I think Ravage was supposed to be fighting a Jaguar or an Ocelot (funny in the first instance cuz Ravage is a jaguar) in Microbots. Probably an ocelot though, jaguars are much chunkier and with shorter tails, and they can actually roar. Dubbed in puma snarls don't cut it.

I loved the comment about Tracks being a snob while Knockout is gay. Explains why I loved the character Knockout ha ha. Some great picks on the best episodes. For me I loved The Return of Optimus Prime parts 1 and 2. As seeing the movie when it came out scared me as a kid

You do realise Optimus Prime killed Frasier in Age of Extinction right

You know I've been trying to find out when did Transformers? The first line the Transformers came out and I have not been giving them much good answers And people keep posting about Happy Anniversary into Transformers And there's only one date in particular that I know and the only information I know about of is release date September 17th of 1984 That is the only information of wind Transformers came out, I know of If anyone who's got any more information about when they came out, let me know

Triple Takeover is the greatest Transformers episode ever!

1:03:43 ULTRAPRIMAL! YOU’RE ALIVE!

Triple takeover and star scream brigade

She was playing roboto possum😂🤣😆

I wish the bayverse movies were based on Transformers G1 live action movie designs

Primal, your back!

My favorite episode is the five faces of darkness part five

Blue lagoon , Masquerade and Rust is my favorite . I never like the first 3 pilot episodes it was boring lol .

I'd like to see the top 20 worst G1 episodes list (coz i know there's gonna be something funny to say about "Carnage In C-Minor" and "B.O.T."); top funniest episodes would be interesting 🤣 because what episode of G1 isn't "funny"?

War dawn and serch for the vector sigma

Trucks 😂

Yooo

Best = megatron Master plan Key to Vector Sigma Starscream Bridgade Ultimate Doom 1-3 SOS Dinobots Golden Lagoon War Dawn Immobiliser

Child's play

Helo

Season 3 the best?? Your smoking something

4 minutes you say?

I just started watching this and already I disagree-I thought "Hoist Goes Hollywood" would be in a worst list

Geez! This review of 20 Transformers episodes was too pedantic. Maybe this review would be better if it had not used clips from Michael Bay's movies in a video presentation mainly about G1 Transformers cartoons. On top of that, this video's author sorted out G1 episodes to purposely drive the video monologue back into Michael Bay movies, like G1 episode Hoist Goes to Hollywood. In my opinion, Hoist Goes to Hollywood was not a good G1 episode worth mentioning. Also, it is strange to see all humans showcased in this top-20-list treated as the Bulk and Skulk of Power Rangers. By contrast, I would replace Hoist Goes to Hollywood with G1 Transformers episode Prime Target. Prime Target introduced a human character named Lord Chumley, who successfully targeted and captured both Decepticon and Autobot factions but failed with Optimus Prime. Chumley's ability to the "kick asses" of Transformers was so impressive that he had Decepticons inviting him to join their team as a human ally. However, Prime Target had structural issues. For example, in one scene of Prime Target, a pair of giant human hands grabs autobot Blaster with no explanation for the it's existence. The last note worthy mention about Prime Target is the Hasbro easter-egg/crossover characters that "popped-up" in this episode like Hector Ramirez plus the Oktober Guard member, and I wonder if Hector Ramirez or the Oktober Guard will be in future plans of Hasbro. Since I'm tired of this video's constant disrespect for humans (regarding the mocking of Spike being "in the way" of Wheel-Jack), I'll suggest entry G1 Transformers episode Immobilizer should be replaced with Autobot Spike. Episode Autobot Spike didn't raise the "positive grade" of humans in Transformers, but it did put the audience directly in the bodies of Transformers by causing some to think about what it would be like to live as a bot. Also, episode Autobot Spike does ask the question about whether or not being permanently a bot is a good thing, especially if it results in the lost of one's sexuality. Spike probably went crazy after realizing that being stuck as a bot also means he'll never end his virginity. The episode with Carly and Star-Scream's Ghost were okay mentions and I would not change them; also, I agree about Daniel Witwicky's annoying personality. Nightbird was great suggestion, and it was a shame that she never had a second G1 Transformers appearance. Rumors suggests Nightbird was in the recent live action movie Transformers: Rise of the Beast. The Dinobot mention was alright, and it was a shame they nor the Insecticons never received combiner modes during Transformers G1 cartoons. I have no opinions on the episodes involving Hound because he never seemed to be an interesting character, but it was interesting to learn about the many changes made to his Hasbro toyline. I loved all episodes with Bruticus but was puzzled with the loss he received from Menasor. The G1 episode revolving on Galvatron's sanity seemed too pedantic. The Search for Alpha Trion episode was okay, but it still puzzles me that the fem-bots of this episode never get seen again until Combiner Wars. Episode Fire in the Sky was alright. However, I never understood the need for Sky-Fire, given his alt-mode was used by another company. I also remember an episode showcasing the Combaticons which was cool! The final entry episode, titled The Golden Lagoon was alright, and I had no issues with it. Lastly, for those episodes I had issues with but didn't provide alternatives, I would first recommend G1 episode Dinobot Island One through Two, A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court, Sea Change, Masquerade, Cosmic Rust, Grimlock's New Brain, Money is Everything, Call of Primitives, and there is another G1 episode I enjoy but I'm not mentioning it.

Gavatron Rodimus > Optimus Megatron

I dont even consider season anything but garbage
