What's your favorite memory or scene, from the original 1980s Transformers
animated TV series. It doesn't at all matter if you didn't see it when it first
aired on TV.

By that I mean a great time in your life while the show first aired (if you
saw it then), a scene from the show that was and still is your favorite,
or maybe something with an eerie (serious or humorous) parallel to your own life.

Honestly, I can't recall one single scene that was my favorite from the TV show. I liked them all. I know my favorite scene from the movie is Unicron transforming.

starscream had a lot of good one liners. total smart ass remarks, but i cant remember any right now. there is also a part of one of the earlier episodes (i think the one where frenzy appears for the first time) where frenzy and skywarp is picking on frenzy and tries to step on him and frenzy just flings him.

the all time funniest one i can remember though is where megatron is in this weapon trying to fire it, and ramjet is blinded by smoke or something and then not only flies into the megatron weapon, but someone flies inside of it and knocks megatron out and megatron replies, "I've got morons on my team."

but in general, i used to love any scene with soundwave and rumble and frenzy action. whenever those guys were around, you knew there was going to be some good action.

I was watching the Shout G1 Season 1 discs and realized that I must have seen S.O.S. Dinobots one million times in my life, because while I remembered bits and pieces of episodes here and there I knew S.O.S practically line for line. So, my favorite scene from the 80s is when Wheeljack uses the captured Autobots' weapons to dry them off and then reenergize them, all while doing them absolutely no harm, despite the fact that moments before said weapons were damaging the Decepticons.

Megatron: You're either lying, or you're stupid!

Starscream (practically crying): I'm stupid, I'm stupid!

That was going to be my #2 choice. I loved that scene. My all time favorite was one split second action shot, can't remember the episode or even the season but I'm fairly sure it was first season. In the midst of a melee Ratchet comes out of nowhere with a flying kick dead center to Skywarps mid-section and, if memory serves correctly, slams him into or through a tree.
No one liner just a sweet martial arts style flying kick. Beautiful.

For the life of me, I can't remember the episode but it might've been from Auto Berserk where Prime dives for his rifle and blasts away at the Decepticon. Not the most intriguing idea but I remember it being so well animated.
