Optimus Prime makes a POINT.

Up the ladder you go, Spike! Have fun aboard The Ark!

Hi, this is Casey Kasem. And in this episode of TRANSFORMERS, I play a mad scientist.

I'M 80 YEARS OLD!

So YOU'RE one of Michael Bay's CGI ripoffs!

What do you THINK I'm doing? Health promos?

You the GENUINE ARTICLE, Optimus Prime--NOT one of Michael Bay's computer-generated ripoffs!

You're not the REAL GENERATION-ONE Optimus Prime! You're a Michael Bay-created RIPOFF!!

Shia LaBeouf looks just like ME!

(Wheeljack) Look, Ratchet! Michael Bay's version of YOU!
(Ratchet) Hey! I'M the ORIGINAL Ratchet! Bay's Ratchet will NEVER, EVER be as popular as I am!

Michael Bay turned Optimus Prime into an alligator??? How DARE Bay do such a thing!!!

Autobots, it's ME--Optimus Prime!

(Mirage) Guys, there's a gator in our midst!

A supersized can of extra-strength insecticide! Let's market this baby, and make millions, Bumblebee!

Oh, hi Dad! Hi, Autobots! I was just listening to one of my Def Leppard cassettes.

Although Scorponok is a computer-generated image (CGI), the terror Tyrese and his colleagues faced is quite real. Det cord was placed under the sand, and Tyrese and his colleagues had to run as fast as they could.

I must get you back to Autobot Headquarters, Sideswipe.

Megatron MUST be stopped...NO MATTER THE COST (sorry, Optimus)!

There! Teletran I should be fully functional now!

(Tyrese) I gotta pretend I'm running away from Scorponok! I'm actually running away from NOTHING.

We have to see the movie ourselves to truly see the Transformers we've befriended or hostile, Megan!

These Insecticons cannot be fully trusted, Decepticons! We MUST be careful!

Spike! Where are you going? We haven't finished sightseeing Earth's natural wonders yet!

Let GO of me, Ravage!

Optmus Prime is--figuratively AND especially literally--BIG in China!

Stan Bush is gonna blow the roof off the Dancitron with his power ballads!

Wheelie, I shall destroy you the same way Optimus Prime destroyed Dirge!

Now THIS is what I call ironic: We're passing by a movie theater that's showing TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE...and we're being chased by Arcee, who happens to be IN that movie!

Finally! My very own Classic Optimus Prime!

[[Megatron speaking to Starscream]] This is only an illusion to make the Autobots THINK we've actually destroyed Bruticus.

You CANNOT destroy my...DESTINYYYYYY!!!

Galvatron, why would you want to step on ME? I'm NOT your worst enemy...am I?

I gotta remember: This is only a DREAM that Galvatron is about to crush me.

No, Galvatron! PLEASE!!! Don't step on me!

Look!! It's (Powermaster) Optimus Prime and (Armada) Megatron--on Ryan's car! :)

Let's see how this gadget works!

Can WE help, Optimus?
No, kids. This is OUR war.

Get UP, Dragstrip! Don't play dead on me NOW!!

With Starscream dead, Bombshell tries his hand at usurping Galvatron's leadership of the Decepticons. He starts by injecting cerebro-shells into the heads of all the Decepticons under Galvatron's command!

[In unison] Yes, Galvatron, we will obey you!

Ugh...what just landed on my cranial module?

Wow! A BIG can of insecticide! I knew Wheeljack was a genuis!

Someone sure is in a hurry to see the animated blockbuster, TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE.

NOOOOOOO, Galvatron!! Grant me mercy, I'm begging you!

Relax, Daniel! There are NO burglars here! And even if there were any burglars here, I'm sure they would've been surprised and scared away by Ultra Magnus, Arcee or me. :)

What brings YOU here, Superion?
We need YOUR help in reviving Optimus Prime, sir. Can you help?

Grampa! There's a monster in our orange grove!

Come on, kids--let's get outta here!

Subliminal message to all Transformers fans:
Get ready for TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE! It starts playing August 8, 1986 at your favorite theater; so be sure to be there! You'll love it!

Daniel, you're totally safe as long as I'M here.
