Heavy Metal War | Transformers Generation 1 | Season 1 | E14 | Hasbro Pulse
The war gets more crowded with the sudden introduction of the Constructicons. However, rather than simply just providing raw numbers, they serve a greater purpose for Megatron. Their construction ingenuity ultimately gives Megatron every unique ability his team possesses. Of course, Optimus Prime is his primary target and in official combat. Per the terms, the loser must take his team off Earth forever. Given Megatron's current power and the Autobots being kept in the dark about it, how can Optimus Prime possibly win this challenge?

That one second of Soundwave petting Ravage is all the proof I need of him actually caring about his cassettes
Especially when we eventually get the much worse enemy by the name of Unicron, come the movie (how nice it would be seeing, not only Blaster and Soundwave sort of befriending each other, against Unicron, but additionally Blaster’s Autobot cassette Ramhorn teaming with all six of Soundwave’s Decepticon cassettes - Rumble, Laserbeak and Ravage, and his two lesser used Decepticon cassettes - Frenzy and Buzzsaw, including his newest Decepticon cassette - Ratbat).
I bet Soundwave fistbumps Rumble and Frenzy too.
Dadwave moment
Ravage is cute. He’d made a nice pet 🤭

11:07 Soundwave patting Ravage was really wholesome
He yells after Ravage in MtMtE when it looks like Ravage will get captured by the Autobots. He and his cassettes are a family!
@@nnthayer yeah
@@nnthayer also in the movie after Megaton gets throw out into space one of the Constructicons insults Soundwave and all the tapes come out instantly ready to the fight.
@@JahsilJason “NO ONE CALLS SOUNDWAVE UNCHARMISCRATIC”
It’s all the proof I need
Two things.
1. The shockblast cannon gets me every time 😂
2. I miss the days where each transformer had at least one “superpower”.
Now that I think of it, Fall of Cybertron understood got 2. perfectly
Either that or their weapon got Special effect other than shooting laser beams
They had special powers in Transformers Animated if that helps.
There called out liners abilities
@@Afanof1 you meant Outlier or Point 1 Percenter
12:02 I like how Rumble pointed at himself saying "That's my power baby."😁
Also how soundwave ejected everyone out to watch the fight
@@tarvaresmelton7304 Also him petting Ravage.
I love ravage
Rumble was badass
As I've gotten older I've really come to appreciate what a dick Rumble was.
I remember watching this one for the first time and thinking about how great it would be if the Constructicons could combine, but immediately told myself that would never happen since Transformers don't do that. Then after Scrapper ordered them to transform "Phase one" I was at the edge of my seat hoping like crazy that "Phase two" would be that combination, and then it happened. I absolutely loved that moment.
I always wanted the Dinobots to combine as well.
@@lawsnewton volcanus
@@lawsnewton That finally happened
I felt the same about the dinobots
@@prestonmcleod1726 I saw that
Frank Welker as Megatron.
Pure perfection.
The best childhood ever.
My fave villain of all-time
Even on Transformers Prime
Totally agree. Megatron's voice is the ultimate villain. Especially in Transformers Prime.
Tbh Wfc/Foc Megatron is goated too
Epic
6:37 Starscream talking about honour. What an irony
only to spite megatron
Despite being a backstabbing & a coward @ times, Starscream was @ times the brains of the Decepticons & @ times had honor.
its too soon for starscream to be talking about honor
We all know he only said because he wants to see Megatron lose.
11:04 I love how Soundwave calls out his cassettes to watch. Even pets Ravage like he's a housecat.
If I remember right I don't think Rumble was ever picked on by the other Decepticons when Soundwave was present. I mean I remember plenty of times various seekers picked him but he was always alone in those situations.
Skywarp picked on him
Starscream was a superior officer he could trash talk with rumble and get away with it plus screamer and soundwave had equal rank below Megatron so screamer and soundwave might think twice before they really duke it out
It’s all the proof I need
Y’all best watch your mouth round big daddy Soundwave
Soundwave could actually fight when it got down to it. Pretty sure they knew better then to provoke him.
Skywarp picked on Rumble and Frenzy in Countdown to Oblivion's opening scene.
12:17 what’s worse than starscream? TWO STARSCREAMS!
Fr🤣
Star scream is the best. He basically is an autobot spy because he foils more Megatron plans than prime himself
6:55 Starscream's consern for intergalactic jurisprudence is indeed strong😂
He _is_ brave enough for politics!
@@ThePuff18 It’s possible that, he’s angered Megatron so much, that not even if and when he shows concern for Megatron, will his leader take the advice.
it is possible that megatron's remaining minute respect for law is the only thing keeping starscream alive, so...

To be fair, Megatron's plan could be easily undonde considering he suddenly got skills he was not supposed to have and conveniently are part of the rest of his army's arsenal.
Starscream might not be a typical militar commander to Megatron's level but he's a natural trickster and is often capable of note flaws and predict people's behavior with relative ease, he even easily could tell Nergill was a nasty piece of work and in Masquerade he quickly noted the Stunticons were not being themselves.
In other words, while Starscream is usually trying to play military strenght and fail against Megatron, now Megatron was trying to play trickster while Starscream can note Megatron is making newbie trickster mistakes. Megatron is trying to apply authority in Starscream's specialty field no less.
In case anyone is wondering, the reason why this episode has so many errors is because Rhino Entertainment transferred the wrong version and Hasbro to this day won't bother to restore the corrected one that aired on TV.
Seems like they used the original audio with the rhino footage
@@stroopeproductions9769 Alas. This is why I'm glad I have the Shout Factory DVDs.
Not so much "the wrong version" as it was the higher-fidelity pre-broadcast masters instead of the lower-quality broadcast masters. Generally this resulted in better quality. But in some cases animation errors were caught and fixed between the pre-broadcast masters and the broadcast masters. Using the pre-broadcast masters means still having those errors.
The Shout Factory release generally used the same pre-broadcast masters as Rhino. However, in shots where those masters had major animation errors, they often switched to other sources (of lower visual fidelity, but with the errors fixed).
@@OptimusNiaa My biggest gripe with the Rhino DVDs was the godawful sound effects they added to the entire series and the commercial bumpers.
I plan on getting the rhino release just for the differences and special features, I have the shout factory version of this
17:02 “No Destroy Teletrann 1!!! Dino Bots Destroy You!!!!”
4:48
Ironhide: “Too much lip Wheeljack, not enough action.”
Me: “What lip?”
ironhide mouth disappeared*
I think he meant to say lead. As metal lead
I always saw the moment Telatran 1 activates the Dinobots as a type of situation where a crippled kid in highschool is being bullied and he calls up the football team to come help and they are super pissed at the bullies.
Ok that's really funny
I thought the football team were the bullies
@@iatebleach6974 Only in stereo type schools. The Football team where I went to highschool were pretty good about helping out the kids getting bullied. Bullies were usually the druggies and upcoming criminal types.
@@FurlowT your right
"Yeah, we know he's a gimpy spaz. But he's OUR gimpy spaz!"
This episode is weird as it is incredibly full of errors, yet it has some really good animations, especially during the battles
This is using the Rhino Versions that use pre broadcast masters, Shout Factory fixed most of these errors.
12:15
2 starscreams lol..still has awesome art/ animation4:28 it's bumblebee then it changes to cliff jumper lol..

Nobody pays attention to the non battle parts
Spike- We all know how tricky Megatron could be. I mean, those creeps are not called deceptions for nothing.
I agree with Spike. Megatron challenging Optimus 1 on 1 is a major red flag.
seeing soundwave actually pet ravage shows that he is a true cat person
Have seen what happens when you kick ravage
i’ll never forget the excitement and amazement i had when i first saw the Constructicons merge into Devastator
17:47 Along with the music playing in the background, just how effortlessly Sludge without barely making a movement splitting the earth gives me so much chills. This was back when the Dinobots were Heavyweights.
I remember the first time I saw this episode I was ecstatic that the Dinobots appeared in this episode as they were what got me into transformers.
the music added to the intensity and mystique of the Dinobots
Agree with all of these comments!!!
My favorite line is when the Dinobots awaken and Grimlock says "no destroy Teletran 1, Dinobots destroy you"!!!
It was all just great chills and then to see the Constructicons merge to become Devastator.....holy crap what an episode!!!
@bradleybowles7979 "we not see them again, because we dynamite them to pieces!"
@@bradleybowles7979definitely one of the top ten moments of the entire series. transformers knew how to bring it when they really wanted to make you feel something.
"Hail Optimus Prime! And welcome to defeat!"
Classic Megatron!
Chilling words from Megatron, "We shall rise again." Very True.
And, much later (I’m aware this is the last season 1 episode, and is definitely pre-movie), in the movie, when there’s this much worse enemy - Unicron, the Autobots feel relieved that the Decepticons did ‘rise again’.
This is one of the best quotes in all of the original series.
Was this the first show to have a "main bad guys fall into lava at the end of last episode of season" thing happen? Because it sure isn't the last! (Put in, no doubt, so that if the series was axed then, people would at least feel...closure, no doubt. The other show I was thinking of to pull this? See the '87 Turtles, specifically "Return of the Technodrome")
This was because of viagraton
20:17- The look on Megatron & Skywarp's face is priceless!! 😆
"Let's see how he likes my new shockblast cannon" 😅 Love Wheeljack
The Constructicons eventually unionize and refuse to do any work until Megatron agrees to collective bargaining.
Chronologically, this is the Season 1 Finale, and what a good one it was.
I like how they brought back the Dinobots and showed them fighting altogether against the Decepticons.
I also like how we got a glimpse of the new combiner bots that the toy line would be developing over the span of the following season.
And more combiner robots follow later in the next season.
This was the season 1 finale to Hasbro-Marvel's The Transformers: Generation One, featuring the introduction of the legendary and the infamous Constructicons and Devastator!
Yes, but it conflicts with the creation of Megatron and Omega Supreme/Constructicon on Cybertron story lines. This episode was probably due to introducing the Constructions/Devastator toys in the US?
@@dmonsef Yep.
He almoat biggest combiner in combiner was toy
@@dmonsef Could be they miss translated? But then again, cartoons in this era really weren't the best at consistency.
The Autobots must have really had their brains in neutral to not recognize that Megatron was using abilities he'd never used, much less obviously copying the other Decepticon abilities. The teleport should have been a dead giveaway.
It's not really surprising what one overlooks when emotionally caught up in a dramatic event. Teletran One did eventually do what Starscream predicted: Teletran One detected (rather belatedly) that Megatron cheated and advised the Autobots accordingly.
How about the Decepticons forgetting they can fly at the end?
Yeah they thought teletraan would inform them of any cheating so we’re probably shocked and confused
@@JSmith99 Their flying spoil a great many things.
To be fair, not like Skywarp used it much himself.
i like how the decepticon explaining every megatron unique skill 😆
Ikr 😂
9:00 that maniacal laugh.....so iconic....
Heavy Metal War was a great way to end what was an amazing first season, it introduced us to the Constructions who were the first ever Decepticon sub team as well as the being first combiners to appear on the show to form one giant Transformer and the introduction for Devastator is still one of the best ever.
Skywarp replaces Starscream in 3:41, Huffer asks to take prime's trailer 15:40 and less than 2 seconds later prime appears towing it 15:57, Devastator 18:26 appears with eyes as well as Scrapper 18:08 for more than one time and in general why Hasbro chose to use the Rhino version!??
@@RodimusPrime1982 oh good to know. But man this is really bad
You missed 12:15 when there are two Star Screams when thirty seconds earlier it was Sky Warp (with blue instead of purple btw) and Star Scream.
19:44 - Teletraan says Thundercracker yet shows Megatron
10:06 Ironhide's sequence is reversed, 8:42 Mixmaster's animation is jerky, Megatron's landing sequence when he approaches Autobot HQ is different. 12:10 Megs teleports but doesn't disappear. 17:00 No zoom on the alert indicator (not an error?), 20:35 missing beams
10:27, wrong color for Megatron’s fusion cannon
"Let's see how he likes my new Shock Blast Cannon!"
**Wheeljack almost fucking kills himself**
I admired Wheeljack because he was very smart. If Prime was like a dad to him, he (W) would be the oldest son.
always felt bad about all the hardworking people who always gets disturbed by Decepticons
same
Some of them straight up became slaves 😭
9:08 I vow to laugh like this every damn day. 🤖 🤖 😂 😂
4:31 LOL Cliffjumper's goofy smile always gets me
Like how the components disappear and reappear when Long Haul transforms.
Sub-space pockets baby! Ha ha.
The properties Sub-space are just as confusing as the origin of the constructicons
@@The_guy25 I think the origin of the Constructicons was an oversight by the writers during season 2's production.
If THIS had become the canon constructicon origin... the Decepticons have better scientists than the Autobots.
1) More intelligent robots
2) Combiner technology
Animations have be simplified to keep costs affordable to produce the program. It's particularly apparent that low cost Asian animation companies are used with most animated children's programming. CGI wouldn't become affordable or commonplace for television programs until the mid-90s.
19:12 no wonder Dinobots tend to despise Optimus 😂
For once Starscream is right...Megatron should fight with his own merits...not on others...that is plain cheating...
Starscream definitely has his morals. Gotta give him credit for that.
I am not concerned with technicalities.
He's just saying that because he wants Megatron destroyed so he can become the leader of the deceptions.
Yeah but it's still funny how out of anyone he's the first to voice it out and sound like he's concerned about Megatron essentially cheating
@@MatthewTheWolf2029 No he doesn't.. He's Starscream.
19:48
Seriously...their are literally not that many bad guys that are that clever and creative today...and the same can be said for some of the heroes.
It’s breaking the rules, dude
I love the Autobots, especially Wheeljack. A scientist, engineer, and inventor, whose creations are sometimes inadvertently more dangerous than the Decepticons!!
Starscream opposing to Megatron's cheating was hilarious
Ironhide transforms the wrong way 10:04. He gets it right at 15:23, good job Ironhide.
Ironhide - my bad
I love Dr. Smoov's version of this episode.
I can't watch this without hearing Optimus Prime yelling "Take this, Fuckatron!" LOL!
Thundercracker, pull a rocket pack out of your ass and give it to Optimus Prime! lol
Fuck YES! That shit had me CRYIN
@@jonathonholifield3166 *Anyone have the link?*
🎶”Autobots, Inferior. Decepticons, superior.”🎶
20:30 Optimus shot directly at the enemy’s scrotum! It’s super effective! Devastator’s balls are his weak point!
Considering the stakes for the human race, Optimus should never have agreed to those terms no matter how sure he was he could win.
7:38 Put this in a Transformers Out of Context video.
For me, this is one of the best episodes of season 1. And what a way to end the season. To say this went out with a bang would be an understatement.
"Dinobots no fool around." 💥💥💥💥💥
Once again thanks to Wheeljack for making the Dino bots! They make great guard dogs of the Autobot base! 😂👍🏼
*LOL, that works. Salute!*
5:06!
Prime: Autobots! Hold your fire!
Cliffjumper: 😃
😂🤣
I love how Scrapper addresses one of the Constructicons as Scrounge. The full version of this that Chris Mcfeely made with the deleted scenes via the extra dialogue recordings and storyboards is amazing. If you haven't seen it, find it and watch it!
Got a link?
Yea seen it its, awesome. Chris's Mcfeeley, has a brilliant channel, highly recommended. 👍👍👍
Wow...that was 37 minutes of pure awesomeness I didn't know even existed!!
I have all of season 1 on dvd. The errors aren’t on it
@@itz_jacoby3 then you’re lucky to have skipped the Rhino release
One of the greatest lines ever, it’s bad news, scrapper they brought out their heavy artillery and it’s time we did the same only heavier
*Indeed! Hook~ "Its bad news Scrapper! They brought out the heavy artillery." Scrapper~ "Then its time we did the same! ONLY HEavieeeer." I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's with the REAL ish here as opposed to the effeminate, watered down, buck cherry bs they're pushing now. I wont even mention Michael Bay....ish blowing up all over the place for no reason, smh.*
*Where we are today vs then is soooo sad, so much so that it can't be ignored. For instance, I can't help but notice how most Millennials~(or worse their offspring's), who watch this episode often only notice Soundwave petting Ravage....and they go and on about it. It was cool but d...!, smh.*
*Most of them don't feel, notice, or even comment on the actual highlight i.e. the Dinobot's facing off against Devastator, or say Rumble pointing to himself after Megatron uses his power. That goes right past them.*
*Their highlight is Soundwave petting Ravage. I feel like John Kreese when he saw that boy wearing a shirt that read "The Future Is Female!" Now, and in the words of John Kreese....."Jeeesus Christ!"*
Starscream: 3:41 Forgive me but i believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar. 😏
Me: Wait uh hold on a minute that's not starscream! 😳
They been hearing megs boast and brag for millions of years
The purple and light green color collocation became one of my favourite when I first watched this episode.
And then Ironhide Transforms backwards 10:06
Useless information, but I remember from the 80's that the actual toy of Huffer could tow Optimus' trailer :)
I'm glad that carried over to Earthrise Huffer.
12:16 Starscream has a twin
Heavy Metal War Hands down is epic as heck i remember having the tape for this and Revenge of Bruticus
Seeing SoundWave pet Ravage was wholesome 11:06
Soundwave could be a good librarian.
Anybody else get the feeling the scene of Megatron coming out of the lava was only added when the series got renewed
Megatron claimed to have built the constructacons but in season 2 omega supreme said that they were his friends on Cybertron during the golden age.
I noticed that too.
Yeah, 80's cartoon tend to mess up some things, even disregarding past episodes and making episodes showing another origin.
And then they were shown creating Megatron himself in season 3’s premiere.
@@shadowdramon01 I actually forgot about that one
21:33, this reminds me somehow of Arnie's terminator 2 final scene.
The first couple of seasons of Transformers Gen 1 (and the 1986 movie) are still the best.
*No destroy Teletraan-1, Dinobots destroy YOU!"----my favorite line.*
Soundwave petting Ravage just seems very wholesome
We need a toy of that giant Autobot Hound made the illusion of.
😂😅 hey wait a minute 2:33 the land vehicle Constructicons can suddenly fly?!🤣😁 also 12:17 Skywarp is literally now Starscream's twin🤣🤣
One of my favorite and memorable episodes, and glad to see this again with better comprehension.
Obviously then, I only care about action sequences, although I had a hint Megatron cheated for imposing for Decepticons to give their powers. Visual animation speaks louder.
Dinobots showing up brings a huge thrill and giggle. They were Autobots' ultimate reinforcer in S1 and S2 until reduced into a comic relief in most of S3.
There were the usual animation mistakes, but the kid in me ignored them by immersing again to the nostalgia.
Did anyone notice at 12:14 how there are 2 Starscreams? Also when Constructicons go to Autobot headquarters. Mixmaster creates a big hole 🕳 in the floor right in front of the monitor of Teletran 1 @ 16:28 you think it would be noticed by the other Autobots that returned to base @ 19:20 ? lol
3:41 Starscream looks like Kylo Ren.
construction workers, oil workers, etc are always so brave in this show lol
One second its Bumblebee, the next its Cliffjumper
18:19 the formation of my all time favorite Decepticon. DEVEASTATOR!!!
I just LOVE when seekers replace and dublicate each other here and there.
What a team spirit! lol=)
This episode has a dark and dramatic tone that i felt even when I was watching it when I was kid
I wish the decepticons could win just once.
That's the last time Megatron managed to defeat Optimus even with cheating. In S2 Prime had Megs running for his money.
it's not cheating if you win.
@@mrnargle4841 In the final scene, Optimus managed to give Megs a good payback even with the installed chips so...
no man Megatron did beat Prime S2 Changing Gears First Fight. And Dinobot Islands Part2 Nailed him down!
@@Wolverine22734 In Changing Gears,Prime got his payback. In Dinobot Island, Megs only gave a shot at Prime knocking him down but not defeaing him for keeps.
@@MinasTsambanis right before the dinobots and dinosaurs rescue the Autobots you see prime and the others being shot to submission by the decepticons and this is after megatron shot Prime
“I, Optimus Prime, will now go, and take Megatron’s fusion cannon, and shove it right up his ass.”
**crickets**
“And his arm will still be attached.”
**crickets**
Ironhide: *“WELL HAWT DIGGITY DAWG”*
If you know you know.
12:14: although the power of off-model paint jobs won't be of any use to Megatron.
Man those commercial bumpers are pressing the Nostalgia button hard..smdh! God is was great being a kid in the 80s. We didnt have much, but yet had all we needed at the same time.
One of the best episodes. Brings back so much memories.
Yeah this was 1 of my fav as a kid. I must have watched this like 100 times or more. Now that I am an adult & watch this I realize so many plot holes in this episode. I can't watch things 100+ times now like I did when I was a kid.
2:54-3:29-The best music of the show
Optimus Prime: No, Megatron! You will not have to fight all Autobot Powers at once, just me!
He killed that line
People griping about this being the rhino versions instead of being thankful for these episodes being officially available online finally 🙄.
i know....the only reason im seeing this is because of quality, the way it drawing me to see it and because its fun to hear some voices again
Oh, yeah, shame on us for wanting this ep (and show in general) to be presented the way it was and not plagued with errors...
@@Grim2 just be glad it's online and stfu
What
Nah, it would've been really easy for them to use the correct version.
I like Mixmaster. Mixmaster is cool.
Best Transformer episode ever I love how the constructicons and Dinobolts had a big battle
12:14 Two Starscreams.
This appears to be the version of the episode with the ludicrous amount of animation errors. Well that’s kinda unfortunate.
I can't believe they put up the versions without the corrections. So far Hasbro Pulse is just a joke. Their marketing and advertising is terrible. Pre-order Toys turn up god knows how long after they are in the shops. They really do seem to be terrible at everything that they do.
@@vxrdrummer Imagine complaining about something they are doing for free. Fan toxicity at it's finest.
@@brimford It's called freedom of speech!
@@brimford No, what's truly toxic is whiteknighting a multibillion dollar corporation.
This episode felt like the ending to the entire series, lol.
Anyone finding it hilarious that Starscream of all mechas was worried about “illegality?”
Maybe he's just worried that if Megatron takes everyone else's powers and uses them to defeat Optimus, then he (Starscream) will never get a chance to overthrow him.
Megatron's a punk. Using the rest of the deception's powers to defeat prime. Smh. The decepticon's besides starsscream should've also had doubts about his leadership. Talkabout dumb deception's. Foolish followers.
16:42 Grimlock: (Growls) Telatran 1 Calls, Dinobots Respond.
Nothing like a prime megatron fight
Optimus Prime: One Shall Stand!
Megaton: And One Shall Fall!
Fantastic episode. I hope they post season 2 as well
Edit: They did!
Even if the construction workers failed at stopping the Constructicons from stealing the Energy Discs, they at least tried to do something. Lol
Prime's shot can instantly knock down Devastator!
2:57 Starscream turns to Thundercracker suddenly HAHAHHA
The debut of the best Transformers subgroup. Always a win in my book.
Megatron said they build the constracticons in those caverns.
Episodes later: story of Omega Supreme and how the constracticons betrayed him.
Best I've ever come up with to make these mesh is that Megatron just built new bodies for them in the caverns instead of actually creating them from scratch. Kind of like how the Combaticons would later get new bodies for their personality components.
Scrapper told grapple I used to admire your work on cybertron
@@dpurves28 - good explanation 👍🏾
I had some slight hope the original cut of the episode would be shown. I really wish I did more to retain the copy I had of the old rental store's fhe version.
Reportedly, the masters of the 1980s U.S. version were not 100% intact. But I remember reading several years back about a UK release of Season One. IIRC, the episodes themselves were comparable to the U.S. broadcast versions in the 1980s. However, commercial start/end bumpers were wrong almost constantly. What I wouldn't give for someone to hack the U.K. versions and U.S. versions together and reconstruct the broadcast versions this way. I never got my hands on the UK releases, and I have region-free hardware that allows me to view DVDs from both the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
The Maverick UK versions do have the corrected episodes thankfully. You can still get them preowned online. I bought them at the time, but I do see them pop up from time to time and they are worth having. I need to check the remastered set now to see which versions are on there as I can't remember. All of the other UK, US and other versions I have are all the non-corrected ones so those Maverick ones are very special.
Yes me too..l wish I'd kept all the episodes I'd recorded on VHS back in the day...we'll never see this series how it actually aired ever again 😢
@@TF80s Well... unless you pay a couple of quid for a maverick dvd.
@@trailersic they only released season one though and actually messed around with the opening and closing sequences on a lot of those episodes. I'm also pretty sure they had all those silly sound effects added which you couldn't turn off. I had most episodes of season 1&2 on Vhs which l got rid of when l first bought the Dvd boxsets..before l realised what they'd done to the episodes on the boxsets.
