Prime Target | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E34 | Hasbro Pulse
Across the globe, one British hunter has amassed an impressive collection of dead animals. The desire for a challenge, though, has prompted him to set sights on the most challenging prey of all, Optimus Prime. However, this hunter is no fool and intends to confront his quarry on his own terms. A number of captured Autobots certainly provides the bait to lure Optimus in. Can the Autobot leader survive what awaits him in the hunter's castle and save the day?

“Amazing. A booby trap that actually catches boobies.” Probably one of the most ICONIC lines ever spoken by Peter Cullen himself.
I think every Peter's line is great at some point
@@zhmihlo me too including "autobots, transform and roll out!", "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", "one shall stand, one shall fall." and "there's a thin line between being a hero and being a memory"
@@ryanmatthews3609 hey! You forgot "now light our darkest hour!" Turn in your Transformers card at the door for that offense! Lol
I'm new to transformers and I'm loving it
Timing a bit off though, should have started around 15:04 - 15:11
Damn, Blitzwing was fully willing to crush what he thought a defenseless woman in cold blood. Even if a trap, it's the intention.
Fits with his profile; brutal warrior with no regard for life.
Hey man, when expecting booby traps, always send the boob in first. 🙃
I like how a British hunter managed to nearly do more damage to the Autobots in one episode than the Decepticons in the entire show.
He is not normal hunter. You can see he has advanced technologies rival transformers, which means he is also mad scientist.
“He’s done more in two days, than you have a two years!!”-Starscream
Yeah Starscream already mentioned that.
It's gotta be that mustache.
@@zyloproductions4870 Megatron: MY PATIENCE FOR YOU WEARS THIN, STARSCREAM."
I love Blitzwing and Astrotrain. They are like a Beavis and Butthead😂
They’re great!!!
Megatron: Blitzwing, you may lead.
Blitzwing: YA, that’s what I like to hear
Astrotrain: Lord Megatron, why was I not chosen?
Megatron: Because Astrotrain, when expecting booby traps…
Blitzwing: AH HELP!
Megatron: …always send the boob in first.
15:55
Anyone miss the days when Optimus was fun, had a sense of humor, and said lines like these?
everyday
He became boring once he was robot Jesus.
Nope...because I watch Cyberverse instead of lame WFC Netflix garbage. "Urrrrgggggghh A Boobie trap that gruuuuhhhhnnnnnnnn cathches a bad THING!" is deleted Optimus Prime dialogue from Netflix WFC that I have been privy to...Others I have heard included "Grrrahhhhghnnnn Damn you gnnnnrgghhh I've Lost my shoe." and "We must arggggghhhnnngagagagag get to the hunnnnnnrghh , before they oorhhhhgggggghhhh close"
@@TheOnlyCathyCat what are you even saying
@@TheOnlyCathyCat tf what are you speaking or saying cybertronian or enchanted table language
15:44 Ha ha, I always loved how the hunter in his English accent says from his control room "That BLARSTED fool." Then it cuts to Astrotrain saying the same line in the same accent without rhyme or reason. LOL
16:05 - "ARRRGH, GET ME OUTTA THIS DAMN THING!!"
@@JoseBronxRican "Hang on."
I like how Bumblebee was sarcastically praising Tracks. G1 Prime has it all: emotions, leadership and father-figure
Agreed. Look at the War for Cybertron series. OP was a great leader, made great decisions, but lacked that father figure presence.
And in Energon, he seemed to be exactly like Megatron except for his intentions, goals, and dreams. (We know Megatron treats even his most loyal friends and allies as garbage, and TBH, Energon Optimus did that more than most of the reincarnations).
15:55 The Iconic quote from this episode
Definitely exhibit A to show the days back when Optimus was fun and had a sense of humor.
@@myriadmediamusings And then years later...
*BW Inferno:* Royalty, why wasn't I chosen?
*BW Megatron:* Because Inferno, when expecting booby traps... _(Quickstrike gets knocked out by one)_ ...always send a boob in first.
@@michaellam2508
Remembered Beast Wars because of this line.
@@erichanastacio9695 remember when beast wars Megatron didn't dound like a fanboy I remember that awesome voice yes it was top notch
3:51 the autobots watching that sitcom is underrated tbh
It's actually a soap opera, buy yeah. That is top class funny to think of the Autobots following the daily drama of "The Kitchen Sinks." I bet they set up Teletraan 1 to archive it if they are busy fighting Decepticons when it's on.
what a great soap opera name.. "The Kitchen Sinks"
I'd expect them to watch 'All My Circuits.' And freak out at Calculon's discovery that EVERYONE has amnesia.
I mean keep down they want to have again a civilian life
Ughhhh ahh
Optimus Prime: "Amazing! A booby trap that actually catches boobies...!" That was some double entendre quote right here!
Except "boobies" doesn't mean what you think it does, in this context. And it's not a double entendre. Aside from that, spot on.
I bet Peter Cullen bursting with laughter when he said it
@@SuperMookles That is true. Remember when Skeletor used the word to insult his minions?
“Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies”-Optimus Prime 1985
This is one of the best episodes. Optimus Prime shows he does have a temper.
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.
I mean, he showed that in ss1 too, when he snapped because he thought Megatron and the Decepticon escaped to Cybertron
Love how they all groaned when their soap opera was interrupted lol
I really like Optimus in this episode, mainly with his Father figure personality when going alone to save the others and his humour personality with, well booby traps
Prime was pissed.... He saw the dark side of the humans he keeps protecting with this type of BS.
Yes, I like to see in this episode the Transformers.
@@Christophiel That was basically the start of his nasty temper which created Movie Optimus's temper.
It’s something I’m glad they brought back for current cartoons like Cyberverse. Making him more of a dad character instead of just a stoic and wise hero. Gives him a lot more character, and kinda gives him a more wholesome side.
@@kirongauff4934 didn't you watch more than meets the eye part 3??
I love the throwaway reference to the Second Boer War, that puts both the old guys at around 110 years old.
Im so happy someone else caught that line.
Well the Butler deffo looks it.
"old guys at around 110 years old"
Today. When you take into account that this episode likely takes place in the same year it aired, aka 1985, then Boer War vets would only be in their early 80s.
@@rodracer4567 didn't it end in 1902 though? I was never great at maths but even if they were 16 back then, that would still make them nearly 100 in 85.
@@TF80s yeah this is what I mean. They would've been at least around 20 when it ended.
“It’s a booby trap, that actually captures boobies” My new favourite quote
15:55
Loved the casual killing of the "Borneo dragon" by Optimus.
Lol
"Freedom is the right of all sentient life" - except giant lizards
@@SuperMookles Appropriate considering how his default reaction to the Dinobots in every continuity including this one is etiher burn them or lock them
@@ironmaster6496To be fair, the Dinobots caused that instinct by immediately attacking everyone and bashing the base to bits.
This is probably one of my favorite G1 episodes simply because of how bonkers it is.
Yes! It's so absurd that it is great!
Yeah it's honestly hard to get mad about ow HARD they nerfed the Transformers when the entire episode is weird AF, especially that Blaster scene
One of my favourite G1 episodes. Just classic.
As an adult I did not see references to the short story THe Most Dangerous Game where a hunter would hunt sny human who shipwrecked on his Island.
To think that guy had the guts to hunt a robot 5 times his size.
Starscream : Especially he has done more in 2 days , than you have in 2 years ! 😂😂😂😂
That billboard grabbing Blaster, I will NEVER figure out how in the hell that was possible.
... or why he didn't just transform back to robot after he got tossed. It's not like he got hit by some immobilization ray or something.
ANNOUNCER: In the world of the Transformers, you have to expect random ish to happen and accept it as gospel. **cue music**
@@desecration171 Happy New Year, my friend. Also, I agree with you 1,000% I guess the writers forgot what show they were working for.
@@AndyCat90 it's like the ending of that Tootsie Pop commercial: "the world may never know." It's like the writers just didn't give a shit when they wrote this episode. Also I couldn't understand why Grapple couldn't get out of that girder cage when I'm sure he's equipped with lasers to bust the fuck out. It was just one of the weirdest episodes of season 2.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate You exactly said it the owl.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate he possibly disabled his weapons before he put him there.
11:40 My god, I never noticed before. Optimus Prime is actually flying in truck mode as you can see a rocket on his trailer. Mind blown.
Just noticed. However, this is not realistically possible, since the boosters are pointed horizontally on the trailer. I guess he just wanted to arrive asap (a good leader cares about those he commands, right?), and lazy animation did the rest of the illusion.
This is probably because this upload is from the rhino dvds with used unfinished pre production masters.
Probably the error was fixed for the broadcast/shout factory dvd
After a time trip to a land of magic and dragons, I didn't think these stories could get any wackier. Yet this one is head and shoulders above any other I've watched to date.
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.
A few minutes later....
Mr. Chumlee Welcome to the Gulag
More importantly we never got to see the end of “The Kitchen Sinks.”
Ooh
@@ShahPhilLeotardo Spoilers: It was actually Cheryl's evil twin that hid the will in the boathouse and Donna's affair is never discovered because Gorden fell down an elevator shaft. Also there was a plan to reveal Jack was actually Donna's long lost brother in a six part prime time miniseries but that got ousted by the coverage of the uprising in Carbombya.
I do love the random inclusion of Diana from the Oktober Guard [USSR's GI Joe] as the pilot for the fighter
Really? Never heard that being mentioned before.
That woman is a random pilot from the soviet union
Dixon and Dille worked on Joe as well so this was probably them referencing their other work.
GI Joe vs transformers is actually a comic
4:03 always makes me laugh when the Autobots go "AUGHHH.." being interrupted while watching soap opera.
Definitely an absurd but funny episode. Love it when Prime finally had enough and just plowed through the remaining attacks to rescue the other Autobots.
3:51 I felt their pain. News interruptions are the worst
I love the idea that the autobots spend their free time watching soup operas.
Especially if it's in the middle of your favorite shows.
They’re clearly upset at missing the stories.
OMG: NBA Playoffs, Knicks in a tight game in the final quarter, but NOPE!! We gotta follow O.J. in the Bronco! 😠😠😠
I'm still bitter about my TGIF lineup being interrupted by OJ car chase.
Optimus Prime: If That Was Your Best Shot, Chumley? You're In Deep Trouble!
Gotta love the trash talk.
Best line of the episode
Why is there a question-mark?
@@WAEVOICE why not?
The Autobots watching tv sitcom. Never thought I would see this scene but it happen now, thank u Transformer G1!! For all the humors.
Starscream: he has done more in 2 days then you have in 2 years
💀
'The Most Dangeous Game" but starring Autobots. One of the best episodes showcasiing why Optimus Prime commands awe and fear with both friends and foes, while also not forgetting the humor he has.
Why more modern versions can't seem to find this balance is beyond frustrating. These days, he's presented as either too brutal, too soft, or just plain stupid.
What was the Transformers Prime version?
@@katherinemorgan1833 too emotionally reserved with no sense of humor
@@katherinemorgan1833 boring.
@@katherinemorgan1833
Too serious
And doubtlessly, the Transformers writing teams won't ever look at these old episodes for reference.
"As the Kitchen Sinks" gets me every time. XD
The best part is the grown of sadness from the Autobots, as the news interrupts their soap opera
Spin-off of "As The Stomach Turns", no doubt.
@@aggressiveattitudeera887 A parody of a parody of a soap? Doubt it, but possible. Probably just As the World Turns, not the Carol Burnette spoof. Kudos for knowing your Burnette tho.
@@blastvortex It's a reference to the fact that in the days before TV, domestic dramas were known as Kitchen Sink Dramas. The genre became known as Soap because many of the early Kitchen Sink dramas on TV were sponsored by dish soap brands.
@@pavarottiaardvark3431 A double paordy then. Kinda cool. Never knew the bigger history behind the name /genre. I was always convinced it was due to its bubbly, ludicrous, out of control nature when I was younger. You don't question something that seems perfectly reasonable. lol The things you know.
11:03 Starscream's quick quip stings deeply.
Wow, this may be the only episode I've seen Optimus in a sore mood.
MTMTE part 3??
@@TF80s Other than that, yup.
In G1 - Triple Takeover, Optimus gets so pissed that he blasts Megatron and Starscream with just his high-beams. Then Starscream says to Megatron, “Prime must be on overload!!”
Yeah its like he realized how bizarre the whole episode was and just wanted to end it quickly XD
@@TF80s Oh, yeah. I didn't consider.
16:10 that butler had the best line
@ 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
"Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies." I wonder how many takes Peter Cullen had to do for that ..... I'm sure everyone was busting out laughing!
Drat! outsmarted by a lorry (truck). This line cracks me up
I also love how the humans are just as big a threat as the decepticons.
15:40 That iconic line from Optimus Prime in this episode of Transformers G1 never gets old! Also I love how the big game hunter Chumlee had called Blitzwing "Blasted Fool" & then immediately afterward Astrotrain then said it & tried to get his fellow triple Changer out, only to find out that the trip is impenetrable & then questions Blitzwing how does he even get himself into these messes.
"What a shame. Don't you know it's dangerous to play with poison Mrs. Black Widow?" Best sentence of this great episode 🙂
One of my favorite episodes. Just now noticed that the butler got away though.
Real ironic Chumly considers Optimus the ultimate trophy when someone like, oh I don’t know, MEGATRON exists.
Isn't Prime more powerful than Megatron?
@@blaykay-4797 well Megatron did kill him in the movie. Also Megatron would be way more ruthless than Prime
4:42 Prime's container is parked under teletran
I've seen this ep a million times and never noticed that before ☺
Peter Cullen has gone on record that his brother the late Captain Larry Cullen was the primary inspiration for Optimus Prime’s voice, and I don’t doubt that, but I’ve always heard a little bit of John Wayne in there too.
I love how Optimus Prime goes full Jack Bauer mode in this episode.
Same
The only time the Decepticons will ever be compared to the Humane Society.
G1 just had this charm to it that you don't really see in a lot of the more modern shows, i kinda miss it
You can say that for a lot of shows made around this time.
Optimus Prime at his best!
I love the Autobots watching soap operas
The one scene in this episode was the ending with the look on Chumly's face when the Autobots returned the Russian jet he stole along with him all tied up on the top of the nose of the plane and how both the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union thanked Optimus for bringing peace.
"That's why he's prime" -wheeljack
Prime sentenced that man to death by giving him to the soviets. Ruthless!🤣🤣🤣
Chimney is a thief and fight picker.
Enough said .
A more than fair punishment honestly XD
I don't blame him.
what interesting is that Prime pulled a spiderman without the friendly neighborhood spiderman note and webbing.
That man is gunna starve to death in Yakutia!
7:18 Those hands grabbing Blaster still gives me the creeps!
I assume it's some kind of forced perspective thing with robot hands. Though how is the the thumb switch places part way through?
11:05 Missed oportunity for Starscream to say 2 million yearsss 🤣
To be fair, they were in stasis for that time... More than 2 million years.
I love that the bad guy in this is a Brit and that he and his personal gentleman's gentleman are both so gross and nasty that they manage to lump in "The Humane Society" with the Deceptions. That is well researched writing.
They're definitely Tories haha
Optimus Prime “Amazing a booby trap that actually catches boobies,”
B/W Megatron “When expecting a booby trap always send the boob in first,”
When they are trying to get into the Ark right? Is it Inferno he sends in?
@@vxrdrummerQuickstrike. He says that line in response to Inferno asking why Quickstrike was chosen instead of him.
Optimus: We have no evidence that the Decepticons are behind this!
As if that ever stopped him before 😂😂
Yeah, that line is kinda out of place cus 99,999% when shit happens Optimus always thinks of the Decepticon as the cause first. 😅
16:30Chumly, you're one royal pain in the diode.
So cool to watch these again, this was one of my favorite episodes as a kid!
As The Kitchen Sinks is probably the greatest name for a soap opera ever!
nice nod to "As the world turns" LOL.
So, a big game hunter holds some Autobots hostage in order to capture Optimus Prime and mount his head on a wall.
Dude, you already captured *6* Autobots. That’s all the prize Ya need, dude. Quit while you’re ahead.
You know the Big Game Hunters' credo "Gotta catch 'em all!"
Should've just nabbed Gears or Huffer. Maybe the Bots might've investigated, then written it off as an unfortunate Decepticon incident. And just like after Robin's minstrels were eaten, once again, everybody was happy.
[edit]posted too early. forgot he actually did try to nab Huffer. there was a missed opportunity.
Everybody knows full well that there’s a giant different between capturing a normal Autobot and capturing _Optimus Prime._ The latter has _significantly_ more weight to it.
The fact that Lord Chumley attracted both the notice and token respect of Megatron is a statement in itself. Usually Megatron shows contempt for humans.
Megatron ONLY SHOWS RESPECT to & FOR THOSE who HATE the Autobots as much as he HIMSELF does okay @houseofno.
15:22 "not today chumley not today" HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST SAVAGE LINE PRIME HAS EVER SAID.
You tend to forget how old this show is until you see things like a Soviet Pilot, a direct mention to the tensions between the Soviet Union and United States during the Cold War, and in previous episodes, the World Trade Center
I love how 2 old dudes managed to capture the freaking Autobots in a half hour through sheer shenanigans than the Decepticons have been able to In millions of years.
This episode showcased Prime's intelligence and combat strength. The other episode "Prime Problem" showed Prime's other strength - his compassion.
We definitely need more Optimus centered episodes and movies.
I heard that the new upcoming movie will have Prime as the main focus which i really find excellent. Enough is enough with the Bubblemania
I agree. Optimus Prime has always been the star of Transformers, so he should be the focus in new media.
Isn't he an Ape in the new movie?
@@TF80s That's Optimus Primal, a completely different character from Optimus Prime.
@@MarvelandDC379 yeah but isn't the new movie based on Beastwars so it won't be G1 Prime taking the staring role.

15:55 Amazing.
Optimus :"what kind of monster would build such devices "
Like a father to bee he's a caring leader

Blitzwing swears at 16:05. It is extremely muffled to conceal it, but he shouts "Help! Get me out of this damn thing!"
11:07 Starscream’s best roast of Megatron 😂
Optimus Prime, the greatest hero!
7:36 - 7:40 This and Aron playing with the Autobots and Decepticons in Child’s Play are probably the closest we’re ever going to get to seeing actual Transformers toys in Universe.
Rescue bots had some
15:37 I love the fact that the decepticons wanted to stop to stomp the lady dead instead of helping here lol
It was likely a projection or a robot I doubt prime would make jokes over a dead human.
lol hes hunting autobots but nothing when a radio just flys in the window into his lap. even the 80s had the This Fine meme 🤣
pause sometime at 0:27 and it looks like Optimus and Megatron are huggin it out lol
dang a small group of humans capturing autobots more successful than decepticons
These Autobots were watching a soap opera...lol!
That was one of my favorite parts of this episode! 😂
one of funniest g1 episodes, because how silly those autobot got captured 😆
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.
10:46 Well, you _did_ kidnap some of Optimus Prime's Autobots and started torturing them on live television, Chumley. I honestly think it serves you right.
16:33 Meaning, that Prime is getting really annoyed by your tricks, Chumley!
7:17 Ok seriously how the did Chumley pull this off?
Black magic I guess. Like he found a freaking dragon and used it to Optimus
Utterly crazy exaggeration!
3:51 The sillies
This episode is comedy genius.
"As the Kitchen Sinks" is the best non-soap opera that money cannot buy!
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.
This has to be one of the most creative episodes of Transformers in the whole franchise!
A human hunter manages to capture ALL OF THE AUTOBOTS to lure Optimus Prime into a ludicrous death trap.
It was seven, but I see your point.
Optimus Prime is brilliant in this episode
The most iconic line ever in the Transformers universe
Optimus joke at 15:55 is so funny to me somehow
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.
That hunter almost started a war
00:16:30 Chumly You're 1 Royal Pain In The Diode! Snapped G1 Optimus Prime.
Optimus: Where are the Autobots?!
Chumley: I have them hidden in this well-researched mock-up of Cybertron!
Optimus: He thinks this is some mock-up of Cybertron? Where did he do his research at, Wikipedia?!
The Autobots watching a Soap Opera and all being disappointed when the news came on...genius!
19:06 A bear trap? How cliche, Chumley! I'm dissapointed with you!
This episodes shows how savage starscream is
I like how the story implies that windcharger needed Optimus to instruct him to dodge an oncoming train.
