The Rebirth, Part 1 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 4 | E01 | Hasbro Pulse 

Yup...I miss him a lot.

He also wrote a couple of controversial ones. Some would say that "Kremzeek" and "Day of the Machines" was not exactly his best work. Condolences to David Wise's family.

Kremzeek was a fun episode. “Faster, Prime. Faster!” (Catching up to the train) “SLOWER, PRIME, SLOWER!” Still cracks me up 😂

@@houseofno Day of the Machines was not so bad.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Took me 2 weeks as a kid to change him to all modes

Sixshot was such a badass in Headmasters.

Also a ninja consultant too

@@brandonvortex995 and now defected to the Autobots as Great Shot.

@@leo11lim to be fair, in the comic at least, he was a free agent.

"All of them...and then a couple more...."

Predacon Megatron: “Yessssss.”

Paramount: very adaptation characters series and movies.

@Brad Phipps, who were those three lucky decepticons, got got the voice of legendary Peter Cullen?

@@AnIndianBoi1905 Wingspan, Slugslinger and Nightstick.

@Chrystian Song frank Welker played pinpointer and chromedome

@Chrystian Song that was Frank Welker, the voice of Megatron/Galvatron and Fred Jones of scooby doo

@Chrystian Song That's Frank Welker, who already does a lot in this show lol

True 🙏

Well said.

Oh yeah. It shows how much Spike has grown given his long involvement with the Autobots along with his dad, Carly, and Daniel.

Non-intervention, in cases like this, is complicity, so Spike definitely made the right choice.

@@jonathanpowell613 And like I said, Spike's been involved since he was a teenager, and now as a husband and a dad, he knows what you said is true, considering that the war still rages on.

Never liked the Gorilla or Bat..but the rest, yeah, they looked great.

Nahhh man Apeface is cool

@@jaycob1830 as a robot and jet, yeah but that Ape mode was awful to me.

@@TF80s Ratbat was the leader of the Deceps in the comic for a while.

@@deathisonlythebeginning5098 l knew there was a reason l hated the comics.

hahaha yeah.

This episode cranks the toy marketing to 11, most everyone that shows up in this season didn't exist till it started. Yet the show acts like they've always existed.

@@swordkingx4874 You must have never read the comic book. It started the G1 show and lasted several years after it was cancelled. They always had a feature robot at the back of the book, and often the spot that said first appearance was: "Right here". But at least this is better than season 3 that basically took all the cool deceps and even autos and made them dumb shit. Like Rodimus, sweeps, Galvatron and Cyclonus.

@@deathisonlythebeginning5098 Season 3 is frustrating. I don't know whose decision it was to bring in the Quintessons but the show is called Transformers. Why switch the main bad guy to someone who doesn't transform AND isn't available as a toy?

He showed the aerialbots how old toys are dealt with

He was like the ultimate Decepticon

​@@chrisedwards3214lol.

@@MoskusMoskiferus1611 Yeah. His being a one 'Con army with his six forms makes him dangerous, and that he has power on par with Decepticon leaders like Megatron and Galvatron says a lot.

The decepticons' ninja consultant.

they used snippets from the toy commercials

The lava made him more psycho.

That was a temporary truce plus months passed since the return of optimus prime and rebirth

Galvatron has to deal with the loss of the last war as shown in the 1986 movie..and the overall autobot dominance of space. Prior to that, autobots were the underdogs running away from Megatron as guerilla fighters. So I can understand him losing his shit and being angry all the time like a mob boss who is getting his corners taken by rival gangs haha -Season 1: autobots are the rebel alliance having to run all the time and their home planet of Cybertron is dominated by the bad guys. Autobots are constantly on the defensive for most of the time while the decepticons are raiding earth for energon to stockpile in hopes of killing off the autobots once and for all. -post movie: autobots are happy and now control cybertron, earth and also have humans traveling in space as patrols as support crew. Overall the decepticons are the underdogs trying to claw back some of the power they once had. The leader is more powerful than megatron but competing with other evil aliens in the galaxy for dominance. His decepticons are not as feared as they were in season 1 as humans are "more futuristic" now. (the military must have progressed a lot since the 1980s tech they had in season 1) Even Astrotrain comments that decepticons were not so starving for energon and fighting amoungst themselves "in the days of megatron". He can see they are now the ones having to struggle to survive and it makes perfect sense because after a war the losing side is much poorer now and in the real world the winning side usually expects the loser to even pay reparations for the damage caused by the war. (eg germany after WW2) Obviously that didn't happen and decepticons are free to roam around like bandits but the effect is the same since they have no outside support as quintessons are just there to exploit them for their own agenda. Whereas the autobots have the humans and other peaceful aliens who attended the galactic olympics. (having friends = more resources plus being good guys they are not going to backstab you)

Brian Weir lol true

@@donmccullen1973 yes but by the Return of Optimus Prime and certainly that last scene he was pretty much sane again, even bantering with his old foe as they searched for the ore Prime needed. Crazy Galvatron was fun for a while (eg : webworld) but I always missed Megatron during S3 except for that above episode. As a Star Trek fan too you'd think I'd prefer Leonard Nimoy's interpretation of the character in the movie, but Frank Welker was the man for Megatron - before and after his run in with Unicron - which is also why it was great to have him back in Transformers Prime.

Pff I'm sure hes... fine...

yea hmm man i wonder what he did to make him shut up 🧐🧐 (kissed him clearly!!!)

Hardhead was forced to silence Blurr because his rapid speech caused discomfort and hopelessness in the other Autobots.. Käännä

@@alec9228chocking him clearly

@@simpletoastvibes oh hey, I watched your g1 out of context vids and they were a blast 😂😂😂😂😂, I haven’t laughed so long on transformers ever since absurdly awesome

Transformers victory is on here but the sound quality is really something. Headmasters keeps popping up and then disappearing.

i still think there was a slight flirtatious dynamic between daniel and arcee i could be wrong tho

, Artist Stan, you've never seen these episodes before???

Totally with you on Snapdragon, thought he was kick-ass since his G1 box art, he's new figure from ER is cool too.

@@butterflykatana I like it. It kinda looks like a SR-71 blackbird. Too bad the cartoon ended. At this time I think the kids who grew up watching the transformers while in elementary school were in highschool by that time and probably outgrew playing with toys at this point which usually means you got to reboot the cartoon again for the next kids. That's probably why the story had to end to wrap things up. If nobody is buying the toys the animation has no funding. Toy sales keep cartoons alive. Thundercats reboot in 2011 is proof of this. Got cancelled prematurely. It would have lived if the toys were marketed heavily and there were kids buying the merch. So far hasbro is doing is great job with the Siege, earthrise, Kingdom toys quality by exploiting our nostaglia for the original 80s and 90s G1 era toon. It seems to work because adult have more disposable income and miss the 1980s cheese.

Like like thehorrorcons came kicking ass their characters had no.tjme to develop since the show was cancelled

Snapdragon was in the original G1 comic book. Apeface makes me think of that hideous Beast Wars.

You're speaking my language! Many stellar cycles ago my brother and I got Apeface (me) and Snapdragon (him) for Christmas. Since then I was attached to that pair. I even kept mine in decent condition for all these years and payed about $35 getting a replacement gun and shield for him on eBay.

Actually, I'd say the other way around. Takara before this series. If it were after, there would be a problem in the timeline to explain how Daniel's injury/paralysis "goes away" in the Japanese Headmasters series, let alone Optimus Prime again.

@@athlonen Assuming you are reffering to my suggestions for linking the Rebirth with a HYPOTHETICAL american dub of HM , you got it all wrong. I never said the injuries ''went away''. I said that due to advanced cybertronian tech, Daniel managed to recover.

@@athlonen Takara actually ignored rebirth (season 4) entirely, so Optimus returns at the end of season 3, then it's straight into their own continuity, Daniel has no injuries to explain away, as they happened in season 4

yea she got passed around like a joint and left daniel with the doobie

Well, she did say “the world”, not “the Galaxy”. That’s like saying “he’s my best friend at work” as opposed to your actual best friend 😂

i still do lmao and this is my third time watching g1

It was initially planned for five parts. Unfortunately, they were told to restrict it and could not do the five parter. Hence, the words of one of the guy who contributed, the balonium factor was put in to finish it up.

@@alanguages I still would like a direct sequel series to this.

@@donmccullen1973 The Japanese Transformers: Headmasters ignores Rebirth and is the closest thing to a sequel. Then Tranformers: Super-god Masterforce, Victory, and finally Zone. That is it for G1.

@@alanguages Does not have to be, and the new series can be 3-D computer animated. Just like they did with some of the video games.

@@donmccullen1973 Oh, you mean a new continuation. Not including what was already done. Personally, I did not like Season 3, I would want a reboot after Transformers the Movie.

I dont like that concept.

@@MannahAwakened I don't like Humans controlling transformers inside heads

yea the decepticons absolutely fucked up the autobots not as bad as in the movie tho

I feel ya on that yo. Luckily Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out right after Transformers ended.

Just like you said the three episodes of the rebirth was the best to me Optimus prime with back that the sigma was back prime kicking ass and taking names now that’s what’s up the intro oh my goodness I could go on and on about how awesome the intro is or was the head masters The target masters Man I’m so glad Hasbro Are finally releasing the transformers on RU-vid

I like the 3rd series.

@@kennethdemuchest3985 l like all seasons..they're all different but great in their own way.

What I also love about the rebirth series is RC it’s like a mother to Daniel I love it she protects him like a parent friggin beautiful man

Vector sigma was asleep until the episode he was introduced Now alpha trion was planning on restoring Cybertron. To the golden age from the start A3 goes into the future meets rodimus and seed the future then goes back to his time leads the rebellion defeats the quints then start to planning on the future of Cybertron He saw Orion pax was from the prime lineage so he rebuilt him into Optimus and later before he merged with.vector sigma he told prime I created you Alpha trion didn't die which shocked prime at first alpha trion spoke through vector sigma and was never shut down Ironically Megatron didn't think to destroy vector sigma when he conquered cybertron

Yeah even though that wasnt a thing in the previous season. Hey, where is Carly anyway? Must... not... over think... hour... long.. toy commercials.

@@navyreviewer so im not the only one who saw it as kinda flirtatious

@@navyreviewer maybe a victim of the Cybertronian Wars

Me too, or a big sister. :) Just like how Hot Rod can be a big brother to Daniel too.

@@BryonYoungbloodyeah Arcee is more of a big sister to him, which would make Hot Rod a brother in law.

It's in-house this time: for the first time ever, the animators are listed in the credits, and longtime AKOM head staffer Jae Ho Hong is involved. AKOM outsourced mostly to Sam Young in season 3, so they receive blame mostly as the production company.

It was cool seeing zarak being taken over by scorpions personality in the comics when you make a deal with the devil

You mean Optimus Prime and the return of Megatron that Megatron is not being Galvatron Megatron is being Megatron at the same time Megatron gets back to his old body for the final battle.

@@catpin No, I meant what I said. Prime Vs Galvatron. We never got to these two fight their final battle.

@@Megatron-sl5us we don't know what could be if Galvatron becomes Megatron again in America as Megatron comes back Megatron being Megatron Megatron goes back to his old body.

@@Megatron-sl5us it's very hard to tell if if the final battle between Optimus Prime vs Megatron again and and if the final battles there and I guess Megaton no longer is Galvatron he's Megatron once again.

Happy 40th anniversary Transformers September 17 1982.

Real the G1 Marvel comic.

Saddest part is that i'm usally the only one that likes the Mini-Cons/Micromasters since i'm mostly a sucker for mini Transformer toys to collect.

Nah, the series suffered already because of the abysmal performance of the movie and its 3rd season.

It really wasn't though.

The Japanese version falls under "so bad it's good", mostly because of the unintentionally comical English dubbing. This 3-parter on the other hand was just dreadful.

​@@phillipwattsjr.4714 nobody wants to watch that garbage

This U.S. sunbow rebirth three parter is much better than the whole Japanese series.

Yes. Good observation. The blues and purples seem noticeable different. But over all I like the color schemes

The whole cartoon was one big toy commercial lol

They.punched him out

Sky Lynx wasn't even in Headmasters but I agree with the rest👌

Why did they ended this season so soon?

Sunbow was low on cash

season 3 and 4 were mostly animated by akom, different from Toei who did previous seasons and the movie. akom generally did a terrible job and the episodes are animated poorly, and lots of characters have incorrect animation models. Optimus is among those characters, and thus looks weird in season 4.

I think this is as close an ending as we'd get.

I alway considered return of optimus prime to be a great finaly. Optimus is back, galvatron is cured of his insanity and the future is open but looking good.

I also think the return of Optimus Prime was the perfect ending. However I would have loved to see what the plans from the writers were projecting forward. The US explanations for the evolutions of the Transformers brand my not have been perfect, but it laid the framework for the its success more then the Japanese version.

So about the proper ending I think they should in prison the decepticon and the Decepticons will be in jail.

Japan didn't take the reigns after this. Takara split with Hasbro during shortly before this series started. In the Japanese series, they had killed off OP again, and Hasbro couldn't do that because of the backlash from the Movie, Dark Awakening, and the Return of Optimus Prime. So Hasbro was stuck and basically went it alone from this series going forward, which rather tanked.

Carly appears in Dark of the Moon. Not to mention that in that same movie, Optimus gets his trailer.

I mean there’s always the JG1 seasons (Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory) even though completely different from this

@@prfctcellrulz JG1 is a joke. After Magnus and Galvatron get killed off, it gets a LOT worse than Season 3 G1. Such that in the last couple of episodes it was hard to tell where it ultimately ended up. At least with the Rebirth we have a satisfactory conclusion, even though as TF fans it may not necessarily be the one that we wanted at the time.

@@MrPsarn You are the minority opinion.

@@MrPsarn It starts getting good in Masterforce, and is really good in Victory and Zone.

There is a 5th season of G1. Its repackaged s1-3 eps but there are filmed inserts where Powermaster Prime drops some facts about post S4 G1 life.

nice to see other S3 lovers exist. I love the characters and sci-fi adventures after the movie changed everything.

@@prince_thomas because it's be best season. It's got the best characters, and some of the best episodes. Ghost in the machine, Dark Awakening, Webworld

And season 3 music is also the best

Season 1 or 2 are mine but I really loved rodimus

Season One is my favourite but I really like Season three and Season four is alright.

Well in this case you could say they were always on Cybertron. It's not like season 2 where they just inexplicably appear with Optimus' group on Earth

According to the Secret Files of Teletraan 2, a number of Autobots escaped off world during the war. Seemingly implying where all these new characters came from. Cosmic Rust/Fight or Flee for example established there were other Autobot colonies. In addition to the Junkions.

Do you know every person in your city?

@@alphatrion100 feeble analogy.

Yeah but origin stories often conflict each other further down the line. Heavy Metal War, The Secret of Omega Supreme and The Five Faces of Darkness Ep4 all offer differing views of where the Constructicons came from. By saying they 'just appeared' allows people to make up whatever they want without worrying about future writers ballsing it up

I think they did that in a comic version of him

Optimus was better off dead. He was a OUTSTANDING leader but he had his time.

@@great159 I understand that we've had Optimus for years now as leader of the Autobots just saying having him back was good back then. Even having him now today but yeah I guess someone could take over Bumblebee sort of did in the last Transfomers series.

lmao so true i laughed even harder rewatching it again

They seem to remain separate minds just controlling the same body. How that work? Who knows? How can a human with a joystick target faster than a computer? No time to dwell on that, we have toys to sell
