Even the kindest creatures have their limits. Just because it is hard to pass them never means that they can't be passed. (Similar to family. They are always caring and there for you (if they aren't abusive drunks or jerks), but if you misuse their hospitality, even if they love you a lot, they still have every right to remove you from their life). Optimus obviously knows that violence is not a positive solution and only uses it if it can be justifiable (in G1 at least), but he has very limited patience, and can be just as aggressive as Megatron if somebody crosses his line to far.

Those arms reaching out from the billboard are a work of surrealist art. I mean, it doesn't look like some mechanism, these are genuine arms. Lord Chumlee has channelled the power of his imagination to grab Blaster and fold him like a Rubik's cube. It's like some concept of Salvador Dali, only in Transformers cartoon form. It's a certain relief to hear Starscream finally say out loud what we've all been thinking. And Megatron can't handle the truth, heh heh heh. And dang, for this warm and protective father figure, Optimus really has a ruthless streak. It may not be the 1940s and the height of the gulag system anymore, but handing Chumlee with the stolen aircraft to the Soviets is still either a death sentence or a lifetime in a Siberian penal colony.

@ 3:49 It’s shit like this that makes me wish could be done more often in Transformers media. The Autobot boyos indulging in Earthly activities, such as enjoying daytime television. :’DDD

Whatever happened on as the Kitchen Sinks were still waiting LOL!

"We interrupt As The Kitchen Sinks for this special news bulletin!" X'D

11:03 I always rather enjoyed that exchange. Despite their obvious animosity towards one another and their attitude of condescension towards humanity...both Megatron AND Starscream each praised the ability and ingenuity of the hunter. Obviously it could only be a one-off character, but think of the possibilities if he was able to successfully capture a sizable portion of Prime's forces. The Decepticons could very well have given him immunity and a place of prestige upon their victory by his contributions.

5:53 As a former hunter of Japanese tigers, can confirm we used toll booth trickery to snare them. To their credit, they always paid the correct amount before we nabbed them.

Always thought Astrotrain said “a perfect shot!” in a really cool way. :)

Hunter: That blasted fooI! Astro: You blasted fool! Edit: I remember watching this as a kid and being so infuriated at that hunter. Good times.

This episode showcased Prime's intelligence and combat strength. The other episode "Prime Problem" showed Prime's other strength - his compassion.
