@@ShadowSonic2 Agreed. This technically could've been anytime between the 4th G1 episode and the movie. Considering that the Decepticons conquered their home planet by 2005, I doubt '2005' Megatron had any interest on being in a random laboratory. So it suggests that the flashback occurred closer to the "we need energy" era vs the "Cybertron is ours" era. Beyond that, it's speculative and really has no bearing on any previous episode that we've seen.

As happy as I was to have Optimus Prime come back, the one problem I had was the fact that in the end of Dark Awakening, Prime was missing an arm, half of his face, and basically coming apart.

I always wondered about the Hate Plague. At first the infected wanted to tear each other apart but later it just becomes about infecting. I think the spores might have been a collective consciousness. In small portions they only used the aggression of hosts to spread. But as they infected more their intelligence grew as they had more minds to work in. Until the collective consciousness decided it wanted to grow to posses all life rather then destroy it. But this was such a glorious return of all our Autobot Dad.

Watched this on a local (Philippine) free TV channel back in the mid-1990s. After weeks of adjusting (even enduring) Optimus Prime-less Season 3 episodes and countless replays, this episode was finally shown! Then countless replays set in again until Part 2 was played. It wasn't easy back then. The commercials made it even an episode longer, thus challenging the attention span.

I knew this two parter existed, but didn't see it for years. I just always missed it and I could never find the tape of it. Funny enough, I saw both Dark Awakening, which brought back Prime as a zombie and had an alternate ending that teased this episode, and Rebirth, which had Prime back as leader before I ever saw this. I was well into my teens when I FINALLY got a VHS of this thing. It was worth the wait to finally see Prime's great return. Its just weird that I searched high and low for so long to get this episode and now here it is on KZread for free for everyone to see and posted by Hasbro. Unreal, lol.

The Best displays of leadership seen by Rodimus can be found in this episode. Ironic as he was passing the baton back to Optimus, it's like the thought of not being leader anymore gives him a second wind.

Nice to see almost every combiner in this episode.

I do enjoy this episode I am glad that hasbro decide to bring Optimus back

Poor Optimus, even in death he still can't rest in peace.

If you haven't heard Marv Wolfman before, he wrote this two-part season 3 finale, he also wrote the DC crossover comic Crisis On Infinite Earths, he later appear as guest cameo in the Arrowverse crossover TV series of the same title.

10:10 You don't realize as a kid, but as an adult it become blatantly obvious that this is essentially a Transformers toy commercial within an episode.

If I have to be totally honest, I think that exoskeleton on her legs looks like she’s wearing sexy underwear over her clothing or something. Still, that scientist should be grateful to the Autobots for saving Jessica life. If he weren’t blinded by jealousy and vengeance, then……..

For years I thoughts humans here were the real villains…. However I finally understand, the father was infected with the hate-spores from the beginning.

Wreck-Gar's scene was damn funny. So many references from TV land.

I remember when this episode first aired and I got home from school to watch it on tape (my mom graciously taped it for me as it aired during school hours in the morning) and my mind was happily blown that not only was Prime back but we GOT TO SEE MEGATRON! Wish we had a few more flashbacks in these two episodes to see some more old faces.

This intro was also epic, loved the darkness

The biggest moment in Transformers tv history!!!

9:10 "Why do I keep seeing you in my dreams, Optimus... are you telling me I'm not the leader you were? (sigh) I already know that Optimus... I always have." He struggles with that for the whole season, THEN overcomes it by the end, only to have the GOAT sign a contract extension and be like "OUT OF THE WAY, HOT ROD!" Next thing you know he's back at the statue like Coy and Vance Duke talking about "where was I... oh yeah, f--- this Optimus, ya'll should've picked Twin Twist..."

(19:13) 'The main memory bug' - That was the crucial difference between this episode and 'Dark Awakening'. Without that piece of curcitry, Optimus would merely be a (programmed) robotic zombie! The quintessons removed (and probably wrecked) the original one in that episode, so how they managed to create a like-for-like new one from scratch is even more remarkable (actually if you observe closely in the Rebirth, the section above his forehead is fully gray instead of partially blue, so perhaps it is not exactly the same as the original memory bug, but close enough).

Love the scaling. The guy walks in to the room and the door is normal size to him which would mean all the items in the room would be scaled for his size but are also still scaled for megaton and Optimus

This season states Optimus was built by the Quintessons but it’s also implied that it was Alpha Trion who created him. So the Quintessons programmed Alpha Trion to do it? Ultimately in G1 they were all reliant on a Quintesson made supercomputer to achieve consciousness before some continuities invented Cold Construction.
