This was a better plan. Why just kill your enemies when you can turn them into allies and double the size of your army in the process?

[@haryadisuryonoto1118]

Decepticons are clever, they always come up with a new plan in every episodes. On the other side, Autobots are so passive. They just wait and counter any Decepticon movement.

[@UToobUsername01]

They have to protect earthlings. In exchange the earthlings give them all the energy they need so they don't need to raid bases for energy anymore like pirates. It makes logical sense because the government can't mass produce their own defense against decepticons who are on a whole new level of technological advancement in terms of robotics. They are literally sentient aliens with self healing bio-mechanical bodies. Only thing humans can do is offer a resistance movement if the autobots can't outright win the war. And now you know why so many fans of the comics and cartoons are angry at the michael bay movies which tried too hard to give humans the spotlight. It should have been the autobots working with humans and the humans play a background role. But hollywood always screws something up. TF live action movies tried to make the mistake of copying those godzilla movies that focus too much on human reacting to things rather than the Godzilla fighting stuff. And Michael Bay TF live action went with this angle. Hopefully in future Hasbro can pressure the hollywood executives to stop focusing so much on humans and have humans act as backup for autobots in mecha suits but not be the SPOTLIGHT. Make the Transformers as important as they are in the cartoons with their own personalities and agenda and fighting styles. Transformers can evolve from "generic popcorn flick" to a true science fiction action franchise with characters you care about like the marvel movies we have now.

@@heedmywarning2792 The computer was damaged in the crash and the earthquake/volcano shook it around and woke it up. It's like how facial recognition might be fooled if you place picture of a guys face instead of your own face. Computers are not perfect. In fact the computer thought the earth's inhabitants were the vehicles and not the walking bags of flesh. It makes sense for the computer to make this assumption (it's from an alien planet remember) since on the computer's homeworld everyone has mechanical bodies there. When it scans the inhabitants of earth it will see cars traveling on roads and think "those are the native inhabitants of the planet so we better create disguises that look like these cars to fool the earthlings" and unfortunately the computer scanners ignored the walking bags of flesh.

This was a nice change of pace for the G1 by having the Autobots brainwashed into being evil and go on a rampage, i enjoyed this episode mainly for seeing Optimus Prime out of control which was something by this point you rarely ever saw and it wouldn't be the last time that we would see this as the show would revisit a similar scenario in season 3's Dark Awakening where he was brought back as an out of control robotic zombie. The highlight of this episode was Bumblebee trying to convince him he's not evil with the two sharing a hug after Prime is restored back to normal was a nice father son moment. Side note: all of the events that took place in Attack Of The Autobots would have been a great set up for the Megatron's Master Plan two part episode where the world was tricked into turning on the Autobots.

God I love Jazz. My second fave after optimus Prime. There will never be another cool black guy robot to replace him. I get now why (apart from Transformers Animated) all the other TF cartoons lack soul! The character design and personality isn't as good as the 1980s and everyone is so serious. (go watch TF siege, TF earthrise, TF kingdom on netflix to know what I mean) Trasnformers Prime and Beast Wars got close but they forgot how to make character cool and finish people off in style that shows each character is creative in fighting. If you binge watch a show and rewatch you will notice repetition in how fights play out but in the G1 stories they make sure to mix it up.

[@EmpoweredTravels]

I certainly agree. They took extra care in these G1 episodes to make everyone unique and relatable. We all know that person that plays music all the time (Jazz, Blaster), the pessimist (Huffer), the soldier (Ironhide, Warpath), the whiner/complainer (Gears), the hustler (Swindle), someone who is dimwitted (Skywarp, Trypticon, Sludge), arrogant (Sunstreaker, Tracks, Grimlock, Starscream), unsure of their place in life (First Aid), loyal (Soundwave, Cyclonus), paranoid (Red Alert), self-doubting (Rodimus), perfectionist (Grapple, Hook), strong leaders (Prime, Megatron), etc. Many iterations of the Transformers after G1 seemed to have forgotten these aren't just machines but they have personality, too.

@@UToobUsername01 Absolutely, they put thought into it! In Soundwave's bio, it said his hearing is so acute he can hear a fly sneeze. He would use his super hearing to eavesdrop and blackmail people with the info he learns. Then you have Thundercracker and Dead End who don't really care for the war. They probably leaned even more into their personalities in the comics. They seem to really go in-depth!

"Well, there won't be any more trouble, thanks to you. And especially to you, Bumblebee." Hey, don't Jazz deserve some credit, too?

Prowl was knocked out at the base but somehow he is with The rest attacking the air base

[@Attunahbrix]

That was Bluestreak knocked out. Not Prowl. ~Dex™.

Remember those Autobot escape shuttles from the "Movie"? Skyfire seemed bigger than those at one point 😆

03:05 Autobots still shown with built-in flight capacity, even though it was mostly left behind after the 3-part pilot (for plot convenience and so that the Autobots have an actual reason to transform into vehicles).
