THE WORST TRANSFORMERS G1 EPISODES

[@CasualNickname]

Carnage in C-Minor and B.O.T. are so interesting because they’re both infamously terrible for completely opposite reasons.

[@goldenltd1970]

Carnage has a really cool story

[@chrisedwards3214]

B. O. T made swindle a star

[@kingmonkey460]

Love how Zarak was like "Excuse me? Who's actually gonna rule the galaxy?" And Galvatron just went "Me, mf, I don't know what you're talking about, fuck off"

[@Maswartz226]

I love the implication at the end of Prime Target that the hunter guy is executed for stealing stuff from the Soviets.

[@zythr9999]

No he's not Lol

[@russellharrell2747]

Carnage in C-minor has an early appearance of Action Master Devastator

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

I recall the “Child’s Play’ episode, it was pretty weird to see aliens bigger than the Transformers.

[@jmurray1110]

You can tell the writers don’t know what gravity and the square cube law are

[@there4you19]

I'll give Child's Play Props with the Beginning of the episode Involving a Baseball Court.

[@blueraccoon1088]

As a baseball fan GO AUTOBOTS!

[@Rodsuper]

Honestly the WORST Episode was Carnage in C Minor because everything was wrong with it. If not Broadside falling on Devastator or Preceptor with one of the perfect shot but seeing TFs we have not seen since they have been dead is like wow. The only good thing about ths Episode was the interaction of Galvatron and Soundwave like the old season 1 and 2 time with Megatron and Soundwave.

[@thisisbadcomedy5156]

I know this won't happen but it would be cool if they did a continuation of American G1 at some point. They could implement some of the best aspects of Japanese G1 but change some things up like instead of Ginrai they could have Optimus get damaged and then upgraded into Powermaster Prime, and for Galvatron they could do the same and have him come back as Super Megatron and so on.

Cam's hair is becoming more and more Leon Kennedy every day.

[@seva809]

Carnange in C-minor feels like it was made by the creators of Smiling Friends.

[@beneil2]

I'm not buying that.

[@tonymata8070]

The singing aliens remind me of that scene from The Marvels, the one about the planet in which everyone has to sing and dance like it was a massive Bollywood/musical number. (And yes, that’s lifted from the comics)

[@jmurray1110]

What did the music meister swap universes or something

[@tonymata8070]

@@jmurray1110 Nice reference to The Brave and the Bold.

[@jmurray1110]

@@tonymata8070 well no one would get a fiddler reference

[@mitchellbambam5926]

In my opinion, Headmasters work best when the head is the robot, and the car is just a transforming mech suit. So basically Minicons or humans with mechs.

[@diagonalscroll5]

So basically what they did in Japan.

[@wingshot9910]

One fact about transformers generation 1 episode "The Core": "The future is built on dreams" was addressed to one fan who had cancer

[@JurassicRod]

I thought Headmasters and Thief in the Night were pretty good compared to many of the episodes. Season 2 seemed to have the most dumb episodes.

[@lewisgrant7622]

Re watching that. For a kids cartoon. Blurs death in animated was terrifying.

[@roblesdavis6753]

I agree with you on Carnage in C-Minor the worst episode in season 3, because some of the drawings of most characters look like they're done by little children, and I find it really stupid.

[@stainshield]

Most of Season 3 was Bullshit because Hasbro was forcing characters that nobody even wanted or even asked for down our throats, now Season 2 had 2 misses such as BOT and Hoist goes to Hollywood.

[@DrCocofruit]

In terms of G1 animation errors, Child's Play's greatest error is a popular post on Tumblr, and the caption for it is wonderful, never fials to make me laugh XD

[@lucretiaderloshon]

I showed the animation errors of "Childs play" to both my animation teacher and Animation history teacher and both reactions were just pure discuss

[@jackgrove4621]

there is no impication of a romance between arcee and him. It is more of a care taker vibe.

[@zalgeth]

The Girl Who Loved Powerglide and Hoist goes Hollywood should both be on your list. I would also put on Money is Everything and Only Human.

[@ubserrano8180]

1:52 Technically those are photography errors, the person who filmed the cells is not an animator. The cause is that air dates are fixed and work done in a rush is pretty normal in TV.

[@Mr.FlashlightStudios]

Very Nostalgic.

[@AlleyKat2000]

I found you last night and have watching a bunch on my second monitor genuinely enjoying the content

[@fishpop]

52:16 That looks like the Dr Livesy walk

[@legotransformershaun]

I wonder If they got Animators to do season 5 to conclude the G1 story As sort of a in between story between Season 4 And beast wars And that's it

[@rjhunter1873]

Aside from the constant WTF moments with Chumley's gadgets.. I actually liked Prime Target.. it let us see a side of Optimus we don't usually get to see.. and the hunter becomes the prey.. he just doesn't know it. "You better hope I find Them before I find You.." In my head canon Chumley was tied Naked to the jet and spent the rest of his life in a Russian Gulag.

[@alwaysabiggafish3305]

As a kid who grew up with Rebirth on VHS, it was actually a blast at the time 😂

[@kinglord7707]

Seems like the whole 3rd season is the worse episodes of G1 😂😂😂

[@InternetManBaby]

Another banger episode! About the non-bangers ha! Thanks, Cam!

[@desmondmalone438]

8:05 Ultra Magus can’t deal with this ever

[@blueraccoon1088]

Prime Target was a cringe sweat drop in a good way 11:50 oh man

[@DennisWintersteen-dh8lm]

Child's play is one of my favorite

[@shebakoby]

LOL at Thrust trying to swim away from Aron's Shiny Gyarados

[@nicholasdickens2801]

I do love how some TF fans believe how superior it is to the He-Man cartoons. They were good stories and great shows for TF and G.I. Joe. But the animation was really variable and inconsistent. Something Filmation never was.

[@thegreattreon0177]

The Headmasters and Targetmasters is when I checked out as a kid. It got too gimmicky for me

[@comancheviperrrr]

So here’s a couple I think should be on your list. The one where they put spike into that mismatched auto body and he basically becomes Frankenstein. Horrible at this so absolutely horrible. How about the one with the aerial bots end up in the Middle East helping his kid who turns out to be a prince. That one was just excruciating to sit through. How about the one with the girl falls in love with powerglide definitely another excruciating episode. How about the one where the robot are in space and they get your mobilize and sold God loses them in a crap game or whatever it was. I can’t remember the episode, but I know it was in season three I believe. Just ridiculous.

[@joshuaslosser6988]

Who else prefers prime’s crest when it is silver instead of blue? I think it provides great contrast and wish it would have been that way from the beginning.

[@krimsonklaww611]

I kind of like the idea of Head Masters, but I prefer it as how Titans Return did it. They're just smaller robots that become heads. In that regard, it makes sense for the sake of espionage. Like, what if the Headmasters had hologram projectors to look human?

[@lewisgrant7622]

I knew the error was bad, BUT I DIDNT THINK IT WAS THAT BAD

[@desmondmalone438]

4:06 Soundwave gotten Boomboxed

[@desmondmalone438]

Carnage in C-Minor BY A LANDSLIDE! lol

1:16 - 1:20 *WHEEZE* 🤣💀

[@desmondmalone438]

40:56 and I thought autobot day was the one we’re we humans were mean to the autobots

[@lewisgrant7622]

Gets shot. His reaction OW it bit me. Yep totally a bite

[@brianjordan3841]

Bullshit Prime is easily 1 of the best episodes of the series it shows Optimus Prime at his best especially when he’s taking all the abuse not to mention having 1 of the best lines of dialogue from Optimus: “a boobytrap that actually catches boobies” it’s so awesome n despite Lord Chumley being a 1 time character he does make the episode worth watching given how he’s able to capture multiple Autobots n then challenges Optimus Prime to come n rescue them

[@bkp1st]

I think the g1 finally should have been the end of seson3

[@stormsurge2103]

"me Grimlock agree with Sky Lynx. . . And also Casey Kasim, racial profiling is is Bullscrap!

[@SaveFierySoulBrothers6743]

3:35 what is the music in the background here?

[@arctrooper999]

So the episode where the Transformers are like toys means the Micro Change bots got played with as intended. 😊

[@blueraccoon1088]

4:33 YOU WHAT?!

[@Comkill117]

The Headmasters being random aliens piloting their heads was dumb. The Japanese version where the Headmasters are just smaller Cybertronians who built larger bodies to survive in harsher environments and be able to fight.

[@desmondmalone438]

46:44 Because yeah that makes sense

[@Aquageo555]

Carnage in c-minor feels like it was supposed to be for another show.

[@comancheviperrrr]

Have you ever wondered why they keep calling Optimus prime well Optimus prime, even though the matrix is gone? When Rodimus prime up the matrix they started calling him hot Rod again. Why did he not get to keep his prime designation light Optimus? Also, when Optimus prime emptied the matrix, why did he not return to being Orion pax? I mean if one to keep his prime designation the other one should have been able to. Yes, you would’ve had two primes but would that have been a bad thing think of all the stories and different pads you can follow with the two primes. Instead, they went for this headmaster crap, I’m just saying he lost an amazing opportunity by not keeping both primes.

[@atomicanimator3674]

8:01 did you say Spike and Weelie insted of Daniel and Weelie by a mistake ?

[@shebakoby]

why did they change the weapon sound effects in "Season 4"? It drove me NUTS!

[@desmondmalone438]

22:13 and despite this it a lot better then him in headmaster and what he did to his character eh Uncle Sixshot

[@desmondmalone438]

49:16 cam wants to do this too

[@desmondmalone438]

16:40 ok now I am scared

[@Phonesavanh-dd7oh]

B.O.T.S is the worst . If I can give it negative star it be it .

[@galaxygirl1932]

Carnage in C minor would be a good ep,but for Winx not for tformers lol...😅😅😅

[@Phonesavanh-dd7oh]

I like the Core episode

[@russellharrell2747]

Steel City is worse than half of the list.

[@desmondmalone438]

30:33 there butting head now

[@christianfrost8660]

3:17 Starscream carries almost every episode.

[@blueraccoon1088]

19:08 personally i didn't like headmaster ideas since animated 😕 just saying

[@derekjennings3470]

The Gambler and City of Steel

[@Darkthefox-nu9bw]

Feel you could've just read tfwiki's summery of bot it'd get the message across just as well

Is it me or is Cam saying Celebros, with an L?

[@stethespaniard2]

Rebirth is awesome

[@blueraccoon1088]

5:08 watch ET then get back to me on that

[@cuddyfox6973]

Headmasters would been better if we had the anime The Headmasters shown here in America instead of the 3 part joke.

[@Rodsuper]

Actually had they been able to do 5 episodes as it was to be but then was cut down to 3 episodes and so had to jam all these new figures down are throat that hurt the final 3 episodes of G1 Transformers with the Rebirth. Had more potential but nope money got in the way.

[@MarioMania05]

Dude, it's just a cartoon for kids, It never make sence

[@blueraccoon1088]

7:19 i know selfless hero born on fourth of July and another

[@Cr0misc]

The whole romantic sub-plot between Daniel and Arcee, while incredibly creepy and uncomfortable, also reminds me of another animated series with a follow-up toyline called Bucky O' Hare. A human kid genius named Willy accidentally ends up in an alternate universe where anthropomorphic mammals are waging a war against a colonialist Toad Empire, and he finds himself on a mammalian ship captained by titular Bucky whose second-in-command and ship's pilot is an anthropomorphic cat with psychic powers named Jenny. First episode of the show had a similar, but much more blatant and thus much more uncomfortable romantic sub-plot, as she (a freaking adult!) flirts with Willy and even kisses him several times. Although fortunately the writers seemed to have realized how much of a touchy subject it is, so in the subsequent episodes their relationship has been reworked as she takes up a big sister role to Willy and helps him learn about their universe and customs.
