"The insecticons have done well." "Yes, maybe they should lead us." Hilarious as ever Starscream.
You mean Scour Scump. Right?
Yeah I liked that one too. He just doesn't STOP with that s***. What a dick
Be careful what you wish for Starscream, you just might get it given what they did to you and most of the other Decepticons in this episode......
“ You Test My Patience Starscream” Megatron 😂😂
I love how Optimus just picks megatron up and be like: "Megatron you have to transform"
And then Optimus just folds Megatron in half to get him to transform.
And it appears that Optimus Prime fully memorized Megatron’s transformation sequence and was able to get him into gun form without any issues, just like when you’re converting your Transformers figures back and forth.
@@TheRisingStorm316 exactly, but some figures can be really annoying to transform, I can't imagine Optimus struggling with Megatron's hand placement or something else.
@@skillnorppaxx3760 00:03:42 - But who are the three autobots?

@@TheRisingStorm316 He doesn't need to remember the transformation sequence. Transformers have an organ called the Transformation cog. They only need to spin it to transform. In IDW comic, Optimus did that to the corpse of his dead subordinate when he was cornered by the criminals so he can use his alt mode to escape.
15:08 Can we take a second to appreciate Ironhide? He doesn't even think, protecting his human friends is just second nature
He's my 3rd fav Autobot after Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Plus, I love Ironhide's cool voice.
There are three sci-fi sounds that can instantly put a smile on my face
1. The tardis taking off/landing
2. Lightsaber activating
3. Transforming
And you kind of got two of those in this episode with the sound effect on Optimus' cannon
You got two of those in the nightbird episode.
Every episode with Jazz in it is a delight
He's the "SCAT-MAAAAN!"
He's more like the “Do the Flop Guy” of the series.
I loved one episode when Blaster was broadcasting a rock concert back to Autobot Base. Everyone is freaking out and covering their audio receptors except Jazz. He's dancing and loving it.
You know there's a dangerous threat when Megatron is willing to put his own issues aside to join forces with Optimus Prime and Autobots to stop it. Another rare moment of seeing an Autobot and Decepticon leader working together to defeat a common enemy
Optimus and Megatron had enough mutual respect for each other that they'd do it without any debate. Despite the hatred, the desire for domination, the greed, and everything else, above all, Megatron truly respected Optimus as his rival and enemy - he also knew Optimus would never stab him in the back. He could TRUST Optimus in a way he couldn't trust any of his own Decepticons. Optimus was truly his Best Frenimy.
Imagine what kind of amazing things they could have accomplished as a team, instead of adversaries?
If this had been Rodimus and Galvatron? Forget it. Galvatron was too insane to bother with respect, especially the post-Motion Picture Frank Welker Insane Galvatron. Galvatron would sooner let everything, everywhere die than team up with the Autobots willingly, of his own volition.
The Insecticons episodes were always fun and with interesting plots.
That’s why I disappointed when they got rid of the Insecticons and turned them into the Sweeps. It should’ve been Reflector since he/they were no longer used in the cartoon.
I don't like them
Remember Shrapnel, Kickback, Bombshell the 3 insecticons got reintroduced into the sweeps?
@@39Hundred Actually, they made appearances in Season 3 but got lost in the shuffle due to the newer characters. The Insecticons probably put clones in their place and hid because they knew that Starscream would take the chance to get rid of them as they were as cunning and untrustworthy as him plus he was obviously still peeved that they took control of his body.
And it always seems that those platinum pests are more dangerous than they reasonably should be.
One of my favourite Transformers episodes of all time. Remember being in hospital as a kid and a friend sent me a bunch of episodes to watch on VHS while I was recovering. This was one of them.
What were you in the hospital for?

Yeah it was badass. 1 of my favorite Megatron moments.😎
Probably my fav Megatron episode. Him at his best. Like catching a bullet in mid-air. And then agreeing with Optimus. Okay, Trigger Happy blew it once inside the installation, but I forgive him. He is a Decepticon, after all.
Except a miniaturised Perceptor! :-)
Several episodes back they did infuriate magatrons brain
"No!" "My memory circuits all erased." - Soundwave
"Forget the Iron Mountain secrets! Get the secret recipe for KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken sandwiches, and the formula for Coca-cola..." says Megatron.

A rare instance of prime and Megatron getting along
And despite being mortal archenemies they make a pretty good team.
@@kirongauff4934 they really do
@@ethanspaziani1070 which is considered ironic.
It's because the adversarial dynamics aren't personal but based on the legacy of the Quintessons, the previous Primes, the former Cybertronian Senate, the Functionists, and the endless energon crisis. Optimus doesn't accept Megatron's methods but he doesn't really want him dead either.
A rarer instance of prime playing with a gun robo.
After all that fighting the insecticons finally stopped their mischief because of indigestion .
Good riddence . Good episode .
The idea of Starscream saying he doesn't trust the Insecticons makes me laugh. Dude has no self-awareness.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guess.... it takes one to know one!
You have no room to talk, 'Screamer!

What a move Spike did at 20:10 to save the antidote!!!

There is so many betrayals and treachery in the decepticon ranks like the insecticons betray megatron and Starscream betraying megatron.
They are like a dysfunctional family.
It was worse in the comics, megatron actually had leadership taken from him multiple times.
@@jeremytung1632 it was taken by shockwave and a few other people
@@OutOfIdeas9977 like starascream too
Evil organizations based on fear and bullying have this problem all the time. The Top Dog has to watch their back every second of the day, lest their nearest rivals decide to off them. It's also why human dictators have Praetorian Guard-type forces specifically to bodyguard them from their own people, whom are often made up of the Regime's most loyal stooges, and instigate purges to eliminate these rivals and threats, on the regular. The leader of North Korea did this for several months after he came to power, and even executed a few relatives, just in case.
Evil organizations based on mutual respect and common goal greed, on the other hand, are harder to fight. Soldiers loyal because they're all True Believers In The Cause are much more reliable. Evil leaders that show more respect to their underlings than the average McDonald's manager, give them decent pay and benefits, and treat them as more than expendable pawns in their personal desire for power, tend to have tougher troops, no matter their level of training or competence, and their organizations are that much harder to penetrate with espionage.
Basically, pay above minimum wage, give them health and dental, and everyone gets Stock Options and flex days, and you'll have an army willing to march off cliffs. Give them eye care and prescription coverage, they're liable to march straight into hell for you.
16:37
Bombshell: AAAAH! MY CEREBRO-SHELL! MY PRECIOUS SHELL! 😫
Poor Bombshell, he loved his precious cerebro-shell.
Megatron:
NO ONE GETS INTO MY CRANIAL CHAMBER!!
4:37! Oh look! The Autobots went to the Prometheus school of running away from things. 😆
The episode illustrates "how brilliant" the Insecticons are. Bombshell uses a "reassembly beam" on his cohort Kickback to bring him back from the dead. Imagine if the Autobots had that technology in "Transformers: The Movie" when Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus were badly damaged. The Insecticons also have the ability to rapidly clone themselves. They might be the most intelligent G1 Transformers.
16:29 damn the way Megatron just catches that is impressive.

For the enjoyment of myself and others.
Good thing Insecticons didn't discover meat.
I grew up in the 70s I live the 80s, 90, and still alive in 2022 at age 48 years old Transformers G1 TV Series is still the best above all other transformers movie or transformers cartoon to me , maybe not to you but it is to me
The last appearance of Buzzsaw. Poor Buzzsaw😔
20:10 Damn that was a sick move by Spike!😃😎
Shrapnel was sacrificed by putting the antidote on his chest, but he was later revived by Bombshell.
I never known that the very first Transformers' cartoon could be THIS good.
It's G1 homie.. the best
G1 Season 2. Pure TF love.
They are the best.
Beast Wars is equally amazing.
Personally I prefer Beast Wars and Prime, but I cannot overstate how much I *love* Generation One.
seeing starscream fall over like an idiot will never not be funny 13:51
so it appears that the insecticons are special. they can convert anything into energy unlike the other cybertronians who need energon or refined oils.
Theyre technically the concept for beast wars. They can convert organic and inorganic matter into energy.
They really can just eat inorganic materials.
They really can just eat inorganic materials.
Maybe their stomachs are able to “digest” materials and turn them into energon like how our own bodies make ATP?
They arrived on Earth before the Autobots and Decepticons and adapted to living since then. Probably their evolutionary trait to keep on living that's why they can eat almost anything and convert it to energy.
I like Bombshell's comment about pine trees and how you get hungry again soon after eating them, it was kind of funny along with Sharpnel joking about how Bombshell's stomach was rumbling.
To us, it would be like eating nothing but rice XD
A human being name spike could stand thousands of electric voltation...beat that..🤣
4:56, Shrapnel did not repeat his word.
I'm so glad Hasbro pulse put up these Transformer episodes I forgot how good they literally used to be compared to what they have out now these cartoons were great back then and they still are today thank you again Hasbro pulse for putting up my childhood Nostalgia this channel rocks
"What's the matter Megatron? Weakling humans too tough for you for you?" - SHRAPNEL
This episode is epic from start to finish! One of the most action packed episodes ever. G1 S2 was AMAZING.
It is! So well written 👏
There aren't many TV shows where (robotic) termites carry grenade launchers...
The episode where the Insecticons became huge!!!
Still gives me nightmares to this very day.
I'd honestly argue that this is a worse episode than Carnage in C-Minor. This starts out so great, but then Shrapnel and the Insecticons get so out of character, there's this one continuity error which I can not forgive (2:04), and...
19:16
Yeah... the Insecticons SCREAM IN PAIN once Optimus shoots them with the cure. Also, Megatron and Optimus don't even have the exact same goals, and yet they STILL team up. At least Carnage in C-Minor is laughably bad. This episode didn't even make me crack up at all!
Six-legged liabilities? Well that's new to me.
2:02 - 2:10 The fastest Scene Transition ever
I'm 48 and I still watch these episodes. Brings me back to middle school.
So insecticons were proto predicons. They remain mechanical while adopting the insect mode, in future technology evolved so they incorporated organic matter into their bodies.
19:10 Optimus transforming Megatron as if he's an old G1 figure
Another idea to the Francaise: why not introduce "PESTICONS"??!!
13:39 wow the military really know what they’re doing. they even landed a hit on megatron
I like how this episode shows the heroism of the Autobots. Jazz and Inferno break off from the fight when they see the choppers go down. Prioritizing protecting humans. And when the cliff collapses, Ironhide throws himself over Spike.
And while we don't see it, other episodes have shown the Autobots always repair the damage their fights cause. So we know they helped repair the Nova Power Plant as well as the Iron Mountain facility.
Shrapnel is such a great name for a beetle.
So cool how Optimus fired Megatron. Historic!
14:33 - Looks like a job for Superman, I suppose.
01:38 Kind of funny that Bombshell compares a forest of pines to Chinese food.
"That's the problem with pines. You eat a forest of them, and an hour later, you're out of energy again!"
Megatron teaming up with the Autobots! There's hope for mankind 17:51
He's just in it for a chance to destroy the insecticons first chance he gets.
The longest thirty seconds in television history.
The intro? Haven’t watched the episode yet
Watch episode "Core" longest second in tv history.
@@perovicvulovic4372 It does kinda feel that way, doesn't it? Only one reason to like that episode, same reason I always liked this: Megs and Prime working together at the end.
@@blastvortex Just watch Core,its literally longest second.
For anyone who wonders what's behind the 411 disappearances in National Parks: there ya' go, go.
“Gigantic robot insects that eat trees?! You gotta be kidding!!”
A sensible response.
did prime just ordered spike (a weapon less teenager) to cover them?
edit: ok spike had a weapon but still
Well Spike had Bumblebee with him and they had sufficient cover to provide suppressing fire
Why is noone talking about soundwaves little stethescope🤣
Love this episode!!! Transformers G1 for life!
Hell yeah! I been watching and in love with Transformers since January 1985 (that's when my state started airing it and when I bought Marvel Comics TF #1 ... which I still have!) By the time I bought Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime in 2004 I knew I was in love for life!
(Aka MP-1 Convoy. Still my favorite figure and I have all TFs from Armada to Cybertron, 2007 to DOTM, Animated to Prime, Alternators to Masterpiece, RiD to Cyberverse, AOE to Studio Series, ect.)
@@cdog4478 someone needs to make an extra large Shrapnel!!!!
@@ESO_PRIME yeah I'm sure they will do a few OS KOs of the Insecticons. Good idea though 😅
A very fine episode. Great animation and story...
"The Autobots are RETREATING" LOL
I love the intro in this season it looks really cool
I know right🤣🤣🤣😄
One of my favorite Episodes! Megatron is so sexy in his both Modes. Mecha-Man and Gun!!!
I feel heartbroken when I watch the beginning of Part 1 of THE FIVE FACES OF DARKNESS, and see Jazz participating in those space Olympics. Sadly, Scatman Crothers had died before Season 3 started, and we lost the voice of Jazz.
wait, so does that mean they killed jazz, or did they find a new voice actor for him?

13:52 Megatron gets blasted by the auto-defense lasers.
Shrapnel: What's the matter, Megatron? Weakling humans too tough for you?

I have always loved the generations and species of transformers. The introduction of the insecticons reminds me of the human imagination of infestation and how we can go back in time for the dinosaurs... IE jurassic park.
Insecticons are extraordinary
13:09 there's an animation error. Jazz is wearing the decepticon symbol.
One of the best episodes, everything is perfect. And such an action sequence of events for just 20min of episode. Amazing, really amazing.
This would be great for a movie plot. You could have the insecticons go even larger and start eating cities including the Decepticon base and the Ark!
19:05 19:11 My Headcanon here is that Optimus probably read Megatron’s G1 Instruction Booklet multiple times before this episode in order to perfect Manually Transforming him.
Anyone else notice that Optimus' transformation is the hero's stock footage in most shows in this time? But it goes so smoothly it's hard to notice.
I noticed that whenever they used stock footage the framerate halved. It was pretty easy to notice.
Megatron you gots to transform-Optimus Prime.. I'll transform you all to molecules of molten metal - Insecticon 😂😂😂😂
Wait since when did Spike have a laser rifle? Also he was kind of a badass in this episode
military's got laser rifles. old english collector's got laser rifles. street thugs got laser rifles. if spike wants one why not
@@tsm688 They also technically share the same universe as G.I. Joe and Cobra. Personal Laser Weapons have been in general use in that universe since at least 1982.
A lot of great pictured action with good logic in this episode.
Insecticons are such badass group. They were the arch rivals of the Dinobots back in the day.
Big negative. Insecticons had no rivals, and dinobot rivals were initially the constructicons
@@SavedByGRACE360 They were portrayed that way in the original toy commercials.
Plus back in the day, insecticons and dinobots were the only group that doesn't combine and they were the only robots whos alternate mode are creatures instead of vehicles..
No, the Constructicons were easily their biggest fight. I love every time they come to blows.
I remember that commercial. 🦗
"The insecticons have done well" Megatron
"Yes, perhaps they should lead us" - Starscream
That made me laugh really hard I haven't seen this episode since I was a kid. So many scenes just make you laugh and shrug your shoulders saying "wait, what?". It's crazy seeing Optimus Prime use Megatron in gun mode and not to shoot the other decepticons (well working together). Good old classics.
