Rumble and Frenzy took every advantage of their humanlike size. Transformers history says there were a lot of minirobots like them at the beginning of the war, before they developed the transformation perk, but they all escaped to another planet, where they developed a different kind of transformation: rather than transforming into vehicles they kept driving them (like Rumbler and Frenzy driving cars and a trains), and transformed into the head of a robot of the size of an average autobot or decepticon, while their vehicle was transforming into their body. Rumble and Frenzy instead chose to stay on Cybertron under the protection of Soundwave.

The shooting scripts for both installments of this two-parter contain several "deleted scenes" which expand greatly upon some of the more significant events in the story. In this episode: 1. "That blast" mentioned by Prime in the finished episode actually happens. 2. While the other Autobots are busy down in the tunnels, Omega Supreme battles Shockwave on the planet's surface throughout the second act of the episode. Shockwave refers to Omega as his "old enemy," and is on the losing end of the fight until he gets his hands on a "cyberbomb," which he uses to defeat Omega, leaving him very badly damaged. There is a vestigial reference to this battle in Part 2, and further scenes relating to its consequences are removed from that episode, altering the nature of its turning point quite a bit.

[@texasbeast239]

It goes even further back to the original TF Marvel US comic explanation of supposedly naturally occuring computers and robots. That explanation didn't really make any sense, so it fell by the wayside. So I like to think of it as just Cybertronian legend, folklore, or fairy tale. The next mechanism up was the Creation Matrix. Before we got the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in TTF:TM, we got the Creation Matrix in the comics. This was a device carried by Optimus Prime that could be used to breathe life and personality into machines. It was used to do so both in robot-made and human-made machines. In so doing, it showed us that at least some--if not all--TFs are artificial, and not natural. What's more, the Creation Matrix was treated as a sort of mystical or magical artifact or talisman, tapping into something beyond mere physical hardware and core computer programming. The animated movie showed us further that this artifact had become associated with the Autobots dynasty of leaders in particular, and that it possessed powers desirable to villainous robots. Taken with the Creation Matrix lore, this could possibly indicate that at some point in Cybertronian history, the Autobots had assumed a form of monopoly on creating new robot life. If so, this surely must have added to the Decepticons' list of grievances with the Autobots. Maybe it was even one of the Decepticons' original gripes? The key takeaway is that, whether it was indeed intended as a merely Autobot talisman or indeed as a tool for the benefit of all Cybertronian factions, the Matrix was capable of accessing something more than the physical building blocks of a laboratory or workshop, and then bringing that "something more" back and incorporating it into the hardware. It could access, download, and install cybernetic life. In the earliest issues of the comic and episodes of the cartoon, we see the Ark's systems bringing TFs back online after millions of years, after a big fight between the two robot factions had lead to a crash landing on prehistoric Earth. It is worth wondering whether every one of the TFs has survived that fight, or if some had indeed died. Given the results of the Decepticons' assault on the Autobot shuttle in TTF:TM, it's almost certain some TFs must've died in the prelude to the Cybertronians' arrival on Earth. So apparently the Ark itself had the ability to bring robots back to life. Perhaps this meant using an older copy of Cybertronian personality components? Or maybe as the robots died in the fight, the ship was able to upload a copy of their most up-to-date personality profiles and cybernetic minds into its memory banks as backups? At any rate, after the volcanic eruption of Mount St. Hilary, the Ark breathed distinctive life back into 28 or more robots. And then we saw the toon introduce the Reflector bots, and the Dinobots, and the Constructicons. Some of these were brought to life on Earth, while others were transported to Earth through the Space Bridge. S2 had more TFs show up on Earth, some with Cybertronium deficiencies, indicating they must have had Cybertronian bodies, even if their personalities had not been brought back online earlier. So their minds must have been brought back online more recently. This implies an ongoing ability on Earth to reunite robot minds and old bodies. Then the cartoon introduced the Vector Sigma supercomputer as having the ability to instill new robot life. It is a continuity glitch between the comic and the cartoon as to whether the Matrix or the supercomputer was "the" means to accomplish this. On balance, it would appear that maybe they could both create new robotic life. Or perhaps, if we give more credence eto the cartoon over the comic, the Matrix never could. Maybe the Matrix's power was restricted to containing the knowledge, wisdom, and will of the Primes, but not the power over life. If so, then maybe Vector Sigma was a means of accessing that "something more" than mere hardware and core programming instead of the Matrix? Rather than being a device for creating life, maybe VS was just a major conduit for accessing it? If that were the case, then that would leave open the possibility for other, newer devices to be constructed for accessing and retrieving new robot life in the future, even after VS's demise, and perhaps even after the destruction of Cybertron itself? It is unclear whether TFs who appear later in the cartoon (Protectobots, Sky Lynx, Predacons, Throttlebots, Doublespy, Clones, Sixchangers, etc.) were reanimated or newly created robots. This all also leaves up for interpretation and exploration just what that "something more" is. Later TF iterations have told us it is the Allspark. Perhaps it is. But did the Cybertronians of G1 know that? Is the Allspark G1 lore now?

13:21 Optimus: "It's a miracle we survived that blast". What blast..? Had to do some research and according to TFWiki a lot was edited out of these two episode including that blast and a fight between Omega and Shockwave which is what caused the unexplained hole on the side of Omega in shuttle mode in pt2.

[@dmonsef]

Is there anywhere where I can find or see that cut edit?

[@nathanbarger3449]

It was a scene that got deleted

[@cjparks7881]

This is definitely 1 of my FAVE episodes. Deadend is 1 of my fave Decepticons

[@BillEverything]

This is One OF My favorite episodes Vector sigma

[@tompearce5418]

Fun fact: the majority of the Transformers in G1 continuity are at least nine million years old. After the Great War began Alpha Trion hid the key to Vector Sigma and it became impossible to create new Cybertronians.

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Anyone else besides me notice that the weapons fire sounds during the opening scene of this episode sounded exactly like that from G.I. JOE:A REAL AMERICAN HERO.

18:31 "If your friends walked off a cliff would you do it too?"

[@starforcenetwork]

Question: If they need Vector Sigma to give new Transformers personalities, how were the Dinobots able to already have their own during season 1?

[@porkflaps4717]

You know canon shifts from episode to episode lol. Kind of like how suddenly the Constructicons were friends with Omega Supreme millions of years ago LOL

[@Leondrius]

Same reason why Omega Supreme can leave his body on earth and then appear on Cybertron when the rocket arrives. 🤭

[@Leondrius]

But seriously, the Dinobots' personalities are quite primitive compared to other Transformers. Maybe that's why.

[@johncarlopascual4228]

Maybe i think that the dinobots were created and programmed with simple brains and their personalties according to their dinosaur modes...just my opinion...🙂

[@ManuelJordan317]

Because these episodes had many authors, so there is no exist a perfect continuity of logical events - it was fixed on Beast Wars

[@Xerock]

You almost never see the villain have to take a side quest.

[@TEMPHUiBIS]

I have some questions about The Centurion Droids that's left me baffled. Why weren't they in more episodes? they were clearly badass. But then again, Why were they so strong and dangerous in this episode (fair enough stupid) but they were wimps in the headmasters episode "The Mystery of Planet Master"? How comes they never transformed? and out of curiosity what do they transform into? I meant they have like this funky shape especially the shoulders that just looks like they may transform into something different. These are things I've always wondered as a kid and still do today lol

[@doomrage2012]

Yeah, centurion droid such brutish forces in American G1, but became weaker and simply throw away in headmasters, sometimes Im not interest in JP G1 because some of characters are left and unknown ambigious like goldbug, wreck gar, jazz, and especially grimlock, the only I don't like headmasters series is cybertron has been destroyed.

[@porkflaps4717]

This season was just classic after classic. I hope they put Season 3 up

[@Leondrius]

That dude in your avatar was crazy as Hell. I hope he recovered.

[@jaymethysell5111]

The Stuntacons and Aerialbots were some of my favorite toys. I played with them well into the 1990s. Although, it took me along time to understand the difference between Motormaster, Scourge, and Nemesis Prime.

[@amg4150]

Why does this episode of transformers remind me of the A team? 😂😂😂 Megatron is acting a lot like Hannibal from the A team with his scheme

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

I love how Rumble has to cram his hands into the F1 car to steal it.

[@nateescobales6930]

12:07 & 17:59 Those... are so cool 😎 looking and super awesome to boot!! Totally my ideal guards.

[@maroldorn]

Am I the only one who questioned, that if Vector Sigma is the only entity who could give personality to transformers, how is that possible that Wheeljack created Dinobots, who themselves have perosnalities, even with lack of intelligence?

[@julesvismale8387]

The Stunticons were thus designed from racing cars and a huge black truck and converted by Megatron in such a way that they can pull balances and stuns, jump tens of meters through the air, drive through meter-thick boulders without scratching and even vertically against walls. can drive up! Motormaster also looked very much like Megatron, although the cartoons do not show how Dead End, Drag Strip, Wildrider and Breakdown actually abhor him and sometimes prefer to fight the Autobots on their own initiative rather than Megatron ordering them to do so.

[@UToobUsername01]

Bwhahah I like how the smoke stuck to megatron's body like it was magnetised or something.

[@chriscarpenter3370]

frenzy accidentally predicted the gta franchise

[@flex2flex640]

The story lines of the Transformers cartoon was never meant to make any sense... they were made to sell the toylines which I totally fell for in the 80s as a kid. God, I still love them...

[@UToobUsername01]

Transformers Prime was the best Cartoon of the TF so far. Try that for story and also beast wars. But BW has not aged well visually. The CG looks like watching a nintendo 64 game footage. HAHA Transformers Animated imo is the funniest.

[@simpletoastvibes]

@@UToobUsername01 tfa's artstyle is my favorite part about it by far but the humor is pretty good too lol

[@_V.Va_]

Because of how silly this show is Megatron saying "DIE" at 3:01 caught me off guard. Lol

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Man when I saw that part where Megatron was taking apart those cars converting them with Cybertronian technology I had no idea Megatron had started his own chop shop at Deception headquarters.

[@chrisedwards3214]

The cons had many bases on earth

[@MuazliMarzuki]

That is one-mean german suplex, Vector Sigma must only allow the sentinels to watch WWF in their spare time lol

[@craigdavis5407]

22:00 The Mighty Devastator!!!

[@Raz0rsab3r]

Well although we get to see how Rumble got Drag Strip, Dead End, and Motormaster, how he got Breakdown & Wildrider is anyone's guess.

[@kirongauff4934]

He must've gotten Wildrider's car mode at a gas station when the driver wasn't around and Breakdown's at a used car lot or car dump.

[@cjparks7881]

It seems like Megatron is more calm cool & collective whenever Starscream isnt around.

[@Tilt_The_Camera]

He’s allergic to Starscream’s nonsense.

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Rumble’s methods of carjacking are just pure savagery. 😂
