What is your favourite episode/s of the G1 cartoon

I don't really dig the cartoon much anymore, so I don't have a favourite anymore. Trying to recall what I used to like.

The Golden lagoon was kinda cool, but everyone being gold just seemed like a cheap copout to save the cell painters painting all the TF's details, that bugged me even when I was a kid. The same with that damned Hate Plague when everyone turns red.

I think my favourite TF episode was the Ultimate Doom part one, if only because it had a really cool cliffhanger where Prime seemingly doomed earth (the best cliffhangers are those where it seems like the good guys are totally screwed like TNG's Best of Both Worlds part 1 and BSG's Pegasus) I hated waiting for the next ep back then, but a good edge of your seat cliffhanger is always memorable (even when they do a cheap fix next episode). Heavy Metal War also seems to resonate in my memory, however last time I watched it, it wasn't so special.

:eek:

"don't really dig the cartoon much anymore" ZOMG Lord Zed what a thing to say lol, only joking. Make a list of peoples favourites on here and check those episodes out, should be a couple that bring that feeling back :).

As for my favourite post-movie episodes I'd have to say I really like Fight or flee (Cyclonus is cool in this one), Starscream's ghost, Call of the primitives was interesting and I liked the animation, the way the transformers are make to look shiny and metallic similar to in the movie. I always found The face of Nijika interesting as a kid as well. Last but not least The return of Optimus Prime part 1 and 2.

Yeah I like fight or flee as well - just re watched it, Cyclonus and Scourge have some funny dialouge, also sandstorm always liked him. Plus soundwave was there too talking like an insecticon! Even bonecrusher made an appearance :) well I think it was bonecrusher :D

Fight or Flee also gave us what is widely regarded by fans as the single funniest line in the entire cartoon:

"I've never seen anything this beautiful in the entire galaxy.... All right, give me the bomb." - Ultra Magnus

:D

Megatron's Master Plan- The closest the Decepticons ever came to winning and nearly conquering the Earth... Until Thrust goes and blasts Telatraan-1 inadvertedly saving the Autobots and mankind! :D

City of Steel- This episode is hilarious it had it all: The Constructicons converting a bunch of taxis into defense drones, Devastator with the King Kong reference swatting Wheeljack's remote controlled helicopters, Soundwave and Megatron sitting at a console using Optimus Prime's severed arm as a defense weapon like they were playing Nintendo. Sideswipe making Starscream say "uncle" and Starscream actually complimenting Megatron for once: "It sickens me to say it, Reflector, but this one time I have to hand it to Megatron. The place is finally starting to feel like home."

A Prime problem- Lazerbeak pwning Prime! Need I say more? Also I think we got to see what Prime might of looked like had he ever actually gotten drunk... Megatron's Prime clone, calls Ironhide "Bumblebee", starts presing random buttons on Telatraan-1 and tells the Autobots Spike doesn't matter.

Those are my 2 of my favourite episodes so far as mentioned earlier. When clone OP is urging the Autobots into the chasm is hilarious.

Megatron is so evil in it & since I have always cheered for the bad guys it sucked knowing he would not triumph in this episode.

I loved how Prime, Ironhide & all the boys "turn" on the flesh creatures & Megatron saves the day.

Even though I knew they would save themselves from Megatrons plan I still laughed at the Autobots being sent to the sun.

I still maintain that captain planet and Beachcomber were the reasons I became a hippie. :D
