Except Sideswipe, Warpath, Cliffjumper, and Perceptor...

@@Davethe3rd wonder how different the lineup would’ve been with these 4 added as well

That's why i call Elita the Elita Prime, the wife of Optimus Prime.

You watched this on 2022 didnt you?

@@user-tm3si7pw3u Optimus also was shown in the Unite Warriors comics for Takara Tomy's version of Combiner Wars to resist the power of Megaempress, a female Megatron clone that's a redeco of Pyra Magna, which allows her to control any male Transformer to do what she wants by thinking about his feelings for Elita.

Trust me, I wonder the same thing. Their deaths would definitely shattered on both Elita One and Chromia.

@@a.jthomas6132 Yeah they lost it.

@@a.jthomas6132 agreed i have a bad feeling they may have died before 2005 and arcee is the last of her kind or very rare of her kind.

@@arceerogueharleyquinncapta9925 I highly doubt they died before 2005. Ever since their first appearance and War Dawn, many fans wonder where are they at.

@@a.jthomas6132 They may have bought it on Moon Base 1 when Unicron ate it. (That may account for many of the unseen season 1 and 2 Autobots after the movie)

Same case as with Defcon in the previous episode, I guess original characters who weren't based on re-purposed japanese toys weren't allowed to be in more than one episode. The whole point of using japanese toys was to save money not having to make their own, so if they made new characters and kids liked them enough to want toys of them, they would've had to actually invest in making toys from scratch.

@@MechanicalRabbits Now in 2023, we have toys for every single transformer from every show/movie/game/comic in history. Oh how times have changed.

Agreed

Yeah you can blame hasbro for that Marvel wanted to add sone and proposed ratchet be female from the start but hasbro ordered that cybertronians were exclusively male because you sales

@@jmurray1110 Kind of a blessing in disguise, as the Ratchet (and Ironide) original toys were lame without the Diaclone human-mech component and looked nothing like the cartoon and (mostly) comic versions. Ratchet would have warmed the shelves for years.

I would have liked to have seen them more often especially in the movie and season 3.

Elita 1 shows up again in her previous form of Ariel in War Dawn.

We still get to see Arcee in the movie and in season 3 afterwards.

80s wokeism was pretty mild.

I agree. These girls need more love.

But then she would have used her special power. Then she'd be done for. When Orion Pax was rebuilt into Optimus Prime, he was tough enough to take more punishment as Aleta would have gotten killed more easily.

@@jakekaufman8302 Being tougher does not a good leader make, ask Grimlock, but the fact remains, she still lead what was left of Autobot forces on Cybertron for 4 million years while Prime and the Ark crew were off line against Shockwave. That's 4 million continuous years of gorilla warfare against force that practically lead them to extinction.

@@Ebonyleopard That's exactly my point. Especially Since it was under Starscream's command that almost killed Prime. It was 1 for the record. books that put Megatron to shame.

In other words Megatron can't even admit that Starscream would get the job done if it truly admitted it because he would be in denial over it for eternity. The possession episode of Beast Wars. I Rest My Case.

@@jakekaufman8302 Megatron had plenty of opportunities to kill prime off and vice versa I think like Unicron stayed in armada that prime and Megatron both loved fighting Screamer had a chance to kill Megatron and prime off when they went back in time in that episode where they met king Arthur

they realy should make an series with him leading a third faction

@@daanvos194 they should definitely make a series from Dreamwave Publications: Dark Ages on Cybertron. When Megatron and Optimus disappeared in the space Bridge accident. Shockwave lead Decepticons and Starscream started the Predacon faction. Grimlock let the lightning strike coalition. And I think Jazz and Prowl led the Autobots

Starscream: "Let's finish him!" Shockwave: "Wait, I have a more Batman-style elaborate death trap idea. Those always work!"

True. Megatron will almost always push him away with, “No you FOOL!”

Maybe all the other decepticons don't actually want the autobots dead? Like it's all one big game and starscream's just not in on it

And to think Starscream was so close to destroying Optimus prime, putting Megatron to shame as he's always trying to overthrow him for leadership. But Aleta 1 used her special power to save Optimus and it almost killed her.

21:29 - I like this line and tweety and Sylvester: Female Cat: Goodby Tweety, Sylvester, & Giganto pussycat! Don’t stay away too long!

And "Impossible!"

@@XTRABIG And loud!

"Finish him"

😂😂

OUCH 🔥🔥🔥 !!!

17:07 "In the universe car glide"

Megatron showed Ironhide what he thought of heroic nonsense just like galvatron showed starscream how he hates bad comdey

Considering how the movie and this episode were semi influenced given Arcee, I wouldn't be surprised.

Damn it! I was going to make that joke, crap!!

Wow, it seems Megatron got even more powerful that he now has the ability to possess the other transformers and possibly humans too. Now that's scary.

Left Prime "speechless"... Look at his faceplate

💀💀💀

Yeah but taking it out feels like you'd loose this human side to Optimus and his past, they should totally bring back their relationship. But maybe pairing all the male bots with the females could be too on the nose.

Yeah. You have to admit that without this episode, Cybertronians would kind of have come off as only being a race of warrior robots. Even the Autobots would have just come off as good warriors instead of regular bots that joined a side.

Lol 😂 what.. Transformers where supposed to be gender less woman didn't have a place because they can't give birth... This new Gen bullshiit doesn't work here... I love arcee but there's was no need for females logically

@Kristopher Prime transformers are supposed to be genderless no gays no females... I understand the interest in female robots definitely cool but they can't give birth what's the reasoning on having gender

“emasculating the male characters” oh you’re one of those kinda guys 🙄

so...sex

That and Alpha Trion rebuilt them both, so of course they'd both have the same internal systems and be compatible with each other.

Blood transfusions are not sex so battery transfusions are no different.

I'm pretty sure there's just because Alpha Tryon gave them wonky ass designs when he rebuilt them that's why Optimus died too cuz remember other Transformers have survived worst but Optimus was shot in this weird connector thing they have they have weird ass power cells or something and since Alita was probably off kicking ass Prime died

In the IDW comics, First Aid performed a similar method he also called jumpstarting. It involved using a healthy spark to help revitalize a fading one.

Literally in the next episode

Unlike the other pairings in this episode, there's hardly any implication that Powerglide and Moonracer are a couple. He compliments her, but not in a romantic sort of way. She says she'd love to go to Earth with him after the war, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're dating. Maybe they're just good friends, in which case, she'd be fine with him seeing someone else. Of course, I could be wrong.

Moonracer would want to snipe the bimbo.

He ain't gliding anymore

@@christianwelch4206 true kind of like how i ship arcee with hot rod and i see her and springer as close friends.

We see elita as ariel later on

Alita and Ariel ARE THE SAME PERSON - Ariel is to Alita-1 (A=A1) as Orion Packs is to (OP=OP) and A3 = Alpha Trion Millions of years prior. And sad to say - I think it was a toy selling gimmick. Wanted to see if it caught on or not. Since it didn't, they didn't go any farther. Same with killing off so many G1 and OP. We all know how Hasbro really doesn't give a shit about things like canon or other things. Look at them lately.

@@jiryensaber6090 They are still selling transformers like crazy. Masterpiece, movie line, main line... And its not because of the Netflix show. Its because of the g1 cartoon. 35 years later! That show was the best investment EVER

There was a huge gap.between.season 2 and the movie When.megatron fully conquered cybretrin all.autobots was banished or purged its assumed elita was killed

@@jiryensaber6090 nice theory but it's Elita not Alita.

g1>WFC

Also the first and sadly the last time we saw Optimus and Elita as couple before Netflix's War For Cybertron (after a gap of *35 years* ).

He did in Key to Vector Sigma, War Dawn and Revenge of Bruticus. Not once did they contact them.

The power she used is close to the one used by the vock in beast wars on tarantulas, notice he couldn't move like time was paused.

Optimus: *Dies*

Probably in key to vector sigma when trion dies prime told elita that and the mourn

Yet it has one of the most shown animation errors. At about 10:04 Prime’s faceplate disappears for a few frames.

@@americancookie5095 and yet I've never noticed that in all these years...by the way, animation error is not the same as badly animated. The artwork is fantastic just like it is in many other episodes, even the ones that have many "animation errors". Of course, there are many badly drawn episodes throughout the series (mostly courtesy of Akom) but this isn't one of them.

@@americancookie5095 That looks so silly

To be fair to them there wasn’t much to do until Megatron started shipping energon back to cybertron.

The war has been going on for 9 million years without a winner somehow. And even afrer all those millions, Optimus in all his great wisdom somehow fell for Megatron cheating with multiple Decepticon powers. For a race literally built by science, they don't learn much do they?

I think Optimus falling for Megatron cheating is fair enough. Lol. Megatron literally had a machine constructed to give him powers in a way that no one had ever done before, and on top of that, Megatron called for a very specific challenge with very specific rules. So the Autobots went into it under the false pretence that all of those rules would be followed. Megatron is also very "might makes right", so it makes sense for Optimus to assume this is his chance to beat Megatron formally at his own game. And from the POV of Optimus, why would any of that seem out of the ordinary? For one, Megatron already has a lot of powers (flight, and energy shield, his energon mace, an augmented anatomy). And a lot of Decepticons share the same powers (Soundwave Thundercracker and Dirge all use sonic weapons, Frenzy and Rumble both have piledrivers. What was out of the ordinary about Megatron? His chest lit up?.. K. That's hardly special. He shocked him with a hand shake? K . Optimus shoots lasers out of his own hands in that very fight. Megatrons arms also didn't LOOK like piledrivers when he shattered the ground, so Prime likely assumed he just wasn't holding back. Teleporting and soundwaves tho? From Prime's pov he has no reason to think that Megs stole technology from Skywarp and Thundercracker. Rather he started questioning himself. Had Megatron always been able to teleport? It would explain how Megatron got the jump on him so many times, or how he escaped death numerous times. And perhaps Megatron was also capable of using soundwaves, but left it up to his goons to do such grunt work for him. I absolutely do not blame Optimus for not noticing the cheating xD

@@zeograndmaster6507 Yeah, you're brain is beyond help. Nobody with half a brain would fall for such an obvious cheat. In the 5 million years of battles the 2 have had, Optimus never once saw any of those abilities used. What more would a guy need? Even if it was obvious their computer would pick it up, they would've at least return to see it rather then just say I didn't know he had all those powers. And a method that's never been done before? Really? Space bridges hadn't been invented yet, but nobody was shocked there. The fact you actually left such a long comment to try and defend lazy 80s writing is beyond pathetic. You even tried saying it doesn't seem out of the ordinary when he's making earth quakes and using far more powers then any known Autobot or Decepticon. Try changing your name to "Zero Brains Master !!!!" for accuracy sake.

@@jamesmuise2499 That was my point, lol. Never seeing an ability doesn't make it out of the question that they always had said ability. And again, no one expected a cheat because Megatron initiated the challenge and stated the intended consequences. And it's pretty obvious that such a thing hadn't been done before, that much I don't even need to rebuke. Transformers has a lot of silliness to it, always has, always will. Notice I did not, anywhere, in my previous comment, try to defend the obscurity of how long the war was waged with no victor. The only thing I pointed out was that narratively, from a writing stand point, Megatron cheating was not obvious and I can totally see why Optimus and the others didn't catch that. It'd be like me getting into a boxing match with someone, not realising they stuffed a roll of quarters into their gloves. It's gonna hurt like hell when it hits, but I'm not likely to immediately assume there was a roll of quarters in the other guys gloves. That's not something that crosses your mind in a fight, and especially not if it's your first time getting rocked by rigged gloves. And I'm noticing you did not refute ANY of my points about Megatron's power usage. Much like a guy stuffing a roll of quarters into his boxing gloves, Megatron's arm did not shift into Rumble's signature piledriver when he used the ability. Hell, in another episode we actually see that Megatron does have lights on his chest. Literally nothing Megatron did was an obvious hack, save for the teleporting. And again, Optimus doesn't know how Megatron survives his crazy encounters. Unlike us, the audience, Optimus doesn't know how Megatron survived the Ark crash. Nor the Nemesis crash. Nor anything else they threw at each other over the millions of years of war. Optimus and the Autobots definitely look foolish falling for such a trap, but that's because we the audience got to SEE the trap be set. I guarantee you, had you not seen Megatron's ploy, his antics in the fight may have seemed suspicious, but your kind would not jump to "Megatron is cheating". Megatron pulls out new tricks from his arsenal like every other episode. Such as, again, his energy shield, his mace, his whirlwind, his antimatter ray, his pec lights. If you're unable to acknowledge that you had access to information that the other characters did not have, and cannot understand what it's like actually being in a comparable situation, then that's a personal thing that has very little to do with me. I just like shining a light on logic and reason whereas you seem alright with blankets labelling something as stupid and all attempts at "defending" it as stupid... Which again, is a personal thing.

Yep the Korean animation studio was having a good day that day .

FR Hard to believe we don’t see much of Elita 1 after season 2.

How many episodes with the female bots where there

@@daanvos194 just three but after arcee one

@@daanvos194 well this was it since hasbro didn't want to mix their audiences

Exactly, and some of the animation and artwork is amazing and still looks great all these years later.

I mean I guess. 75% of G1 is Megatron coming up with a silly plan to get energon cubes and the Autobots stopping them every time and introducing new toys. There's only about 6 or 7 episodes that expand on the lore like Key to Vector Sigma and War Dawn. But what those episodes introduced was retconned in later episodes due to continuity issues. Most of it was bad until the 86 movie came out. But seasons 3 and 4 was more of the same inconsistencies.

I dunno that War series kind of hits right with Elita and Optimus' tragic relationship in the war, we just need more where she's around till the end

Transformers fans are truly delusional...

The same could be said of Spiderman and His Amazing Friends compared to the MCU today.

Transformers live longer and their machines so they probably don’t have the same mental weakness as humans

It’s a kids show. The answer is don’t think about it.

It takes them 300,000 years to age one year and their mental fortitude is actually stronger than humans.

The time on cybertron is faster then on earth. One year on cybertron are on earth like one milion years

Read the comic series more than meets the eye to see the effects of the war on the bots psyche!

Some people have theirized either rumors of death have been exaggerated, Megatron was not up to the take of "being extinct"....or Shockwave being his logical scientific self is simply just a gigantic cybertronian neck-beard at his computer.

Uhhh, you know this was made before the movie, right?

@@jasonrichter6920 The movie was in production for quite some time, before "The Key to Vector Sigma", and possibly Omega Supreme's initial appearance, as none of the characters debuting in those episodes do not show up in the movie.

@@commscan314 the movie didn't have time to.yit everybody in Omega debuted in 85 the same time astrotrain, ramjet, inferno and powerglide

Apparently they didn't have any kind of writers room, but the writers of this episode and War Dawn were able to communicate the idea of Elita One being Optimus Prime's girlfriend.

He remembers because they changed history. We don't know how Optimus originally came to be.

@@powermasterjazz all we know is all transformers, autobots and decepticons were originally created by the quintessons.

They planned these stories it's just Hasbro didn't predict how popular these characters would be and when the internet came out it was over tf fans from all over started communicating

@@powermasterjazz The arielbots changed history a by a small amount. Alpha Trion was still the one who rebuilt them both as indicated in this episode. I heard that before the whole time travel Alpha Trion found both of them at that storage silo and personally took and rebuilt them. Then again as has been stated most episodes (including War Dawn) don't really impact the overall story.

Even if season 3 wasn't that good, you got to admit, the techno version of the theme song has got to be the best version.

Optimus: female autobots are queens Megatron: if they live there are THOTS!

Uhhhh😐

SHOCKWAVE: FEMALE AUTOBOTS I THOUGHT THEY ARE EXTINCT

Well... Ariel and Orion are considered lovebirds before the war.

Incest love!

I think Arcee actually came first. Conceptually, anyway. Arcee came into being when one of the writers of The Movie had a daughter who also liked Transformers, so he started writing girl Transformers. Also, toy companies were making girl versions of boy toys during this time. Remember She-Ra?

@@Davethe3rd If i recall right, that Writer had to fight tooth and nail to include Arcee because at that time Hasbro was being sexist for not bringing in Female Transformers.
