Whether or not you liked the time jump to the far flung future of 2005, it looks like season 3 of Transformers Generation 1 might start airing on the Hub. Fellow Fan site The Allspark is reporting that the first episode of S3 The Five Faces Of Darkness Part 1 is scheduled to air December 10 with a repeat viewing on December 15.

Sweet, I've been waiting for them to show these. Just another note, where is that Galvatron-head symbol from? Looks awesome.
Found it on TVguide.com, but it's on at 4:30 in the morning? Thank Primus for DVRs.
Part two's on at 4:30 am too? Do they hate season three?

It's about time that they did that. They should also air the movie.

@Autobot Megatron: Pretty sure the Galvatron head's from one of the later UK DVD box sets, but not sure if it was the US post-Movie or Headmasters.

As far as I'm concerned, this was the best season of all, and I wondered if they were waiting to show TFTM first lest this season not make sense to kids just getting into it. I think the TF Wiki said the the movie only aired once in its entirety, and all subsequent showings were of it broken into 5 parts for S5 with Puppetmaster Optimus and Tommy and The Touch video at the end for padding. Is there some legal reason it just can't air on US TV with "sh!t" and "d@mmit" bleeped out? Did one of the blind critics that trashed it back in the day lay a curse?

I wonder if this also means S2 of G.I.Joe will air soon too.

um what about the movie, without that new comers wont know that Galvatron is actually Megatron and why Rodimus is the leader now. Plus i think more people want to see the movie rather than Season 3.

i watched and taped the movie's full airing back in 1987. it played on a saturday morning and yep, it had the whole Timmy opening and closing along with the video at the end. they didn't bleep out anything, it was already edited to remove that content. so they just aired what was available on VHS.

funny story about this morning, i miscalculated how much room i had on my VHS tape when recording and the tape finished while the show was playing. i quickly found another and popped it in there but i missed about 10 seconds of the show. so for years that was my only way to watch this movie, on two seperate VHS tapes with commercials intact. i of course fast forwarded through them but for years it was nostalgic seeing them even in super speed. i'd say 90% of them consisted of toy commercials for transformers, g.i.joe, potato head kids and my little pony.....ah, memories. lol

i still remember the excitement when i got the canadian release VHS in the 90s. it was the first time i was seeing the movie in full, commercial free and unedited form since theaters. lol

Carngae in C-Minor had a metric ton of erros, but the plot wasn't too bad. And it had Blaster and Soundwave in lead roles. Rather nice, there. Now BOT on the other hand... :-x

Crappy animator episodes far outnumbered the good animator episodes.
Transformers 'eating' energon - with their MOUTHS (even the ones without mouths).
Everybody sucking up to Rodimus when he was no great shakes.
Quintessons were the sukkiest 'enemies' ever made.
Sharkticons were the sukkiest toys ever made.
Toys looked nothing like their movie counterparts.
Galvatron's voice was WAY nothing like his movie counterpart. (Really, Frank Welker? Your DYNOMUTT voice? For Galvatron?)
Movie/S3 vision of the future is nothing like how the future actually turned out, and we knew it, even in 1986.
Planet 'Goo'? Really? That was the BEST you could write?
Organic waitresses hitting on Cybertronians in an 'energon bar'.
'The Killing Jar' - 30 minutes of NOTHING.
Soundwave: 'That was heaven!' 'Nuff said.

They had their moments. 'Call of the Primitives' was pretty good, and Starscream's Ghost. But overall - S3 and the seasons after it just stunk up the joint.

yeah but that was what season 2? i'm not sure right now but C minor must have the most animation errors in a 5-minute span of time so much you have to do bullet points every time you watch it which was 1989 for me......... okay that's not true that was the last time i watched when i wasn't forced to .

Why in God's name are they skipping Season 1? That was the best season!

Sun Dec 04, 2011 11:33 pm

Awesome season 3 is my favorite season of all the G-1 seasons.

As opposed to drinking it in season two?

Everybody sucking up to Rodimus when he was no great shakes.

Really? Managed to beat the Decepticons and the Quintessons, as well as Victor Drath before Optimus came back, which tells me he did a damn good job filling Optimus' big shoes. Even Kup pointed out that Optimus went through the same feelings when he replaced Sentinel.

Quintessons were the sukkiest 'enemies' ever made.

How so?

Sharkticons were the sukkiest toys ever made.

Really? My childhood friend had one and it was awesome.

Toys looked nothing like their movie counterparts.

You have have Ironhide, Ratchet, Optimus Prime, Megatron, the Scramble City toys, Bumblebee, Windcharger, Brawn, Astrotrain, Jetfire and everyone else who didn't match up to their animation models.

Galvatron's voice was WAY nothing like his movie counterpart. (Really, Frank Welker? Your DYNOMUTT voice? For Galvatron?)

No, that was more the voice Welker used with his other characters. Besides, he was probably told not to do an impersonation of Nimoy.

Movie/S3 vision of the future is nothing like how the future actually turned out, and we knew it, even in 1986.

Right, because "The Terminator" films, "Back To The Future II" and "Escape From L.A." is how the world turned out as well. What about "Star Trek" and the absence of World War III at the start of the 21st century.

Planet 'Goo'? Really? That was the BEST you could write?

Yeah, a planet full of a glue like substance.

Organic waitresses hitting on Cybertronians in an 'energon bar'.

As opposed to "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide"?

'The Killing Jar' - 30 minutes of NOTHING.

30 minutes of character building. You learn a lot about Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus and Marissa Faireborne.

Soundwave: 'That was heaven!' 'Nuff said.

How was that bad?

Apparently, I did...

Yeah, all The Hub has been doing since last year is show seasons one and two. From "More Than Meets The Eye" through "B.O.T." and then back again. There was a mini marathon last Friday of seasons one and two episodes. All the key ones of season one were shown.
