Season 1, Episode 14: Heavy Metal War
Original Air Date—15 December 1984
The Constructicons attack a construction site and steal energy machine parts needed for Megatron's current scheme. With this done, Megatron challenges Optimus Prime for a duel according to Cybertron law: the leaders of the opposing armies engage in one-on-one battle, without additional reinforcement, and the loser must exile himself and his army to deep space for eternity. Optimus, confident that he can beat Megatron under these terms, agrees. The Constructicons assemble the stolen components into power-transfer machine, which Megatron uses to obtain the powers of all the other Decepticons - against the combat rules. To ensure that the Autobots will not discover the cheat, Megatron sends the Constructicons to the Autobots' headquarters, so they will destroy Teletraan 1 while the Autobots are watching the battle. During the battle, Optimus fights valiantly, but multi-powered Megatron has the upper hand from the beginning. It seems Megatron's plot succeeds, but he forgot one important detail: the Dinobots were left in the Autobots' headquarters to guard Teletraan 1, and their intervention severely interferes with the scheme...

This was a well done reproduction of the series. There are a few errors with coloring a figure the wrong here or there. For the most part it's very much what I remember as a child. So if you want to reminisce or to introduce your child to something you enjoy it is worth buying the series.

It's great to be able to share these old transformer episodes that we watched as children with our children now.

As with anything it was always better when you were a child. I enjoy watching these episodes with my kids(the movies are too violent, the main reason they were purchased). Animation has improved since then but still enjoyable.

If you love the transformers? Watch it from the begining with this DVD set. I decided to buy this Dvd set cause the price was right and it was what I wanted.
I would buy more stuff from this person in the future.

I am a big Transformers fan. I remember seeing it on television for the first time in the early 80's. I guess you're going to get a biased opinion about this dvd set, but I will try to be fair. The set included all of the episodes from the original season. You learn the origin of the transformers and how they came to earth. It's alot easier to watch than the original cut because you don't have to deal with all of the commercials. The voice over and video is of good quality. I would highly reccomend it to any fan of the transformers or for people who might want to introduce a child to the world of the Autobots and Decepticons.

The transformers season one boxset is fantastic,now it's been years since I seen this cartoon and I'm in awe that they released the first season and it's just as I remember it.To all the transformer fans out there if you don't have the boxset...once again put your dvd player on hold run out and purchase this item...it's well worth it...

My daughter loves transformers. She has already watched this set 4-5 times. Great cartoons, good message and it is expanding her vocabulary. Love it! Thanks for the quick shipping!

I got my package in 2 days!!! It is in excellent used condition I would defenatly buy from this seller agian!!!!!!!!

FINALLY I never had the Rhino Transformers G1 series DVD's well now I do they are great. I decided to bid aggressively to win this item because they are out of print. And I wanted them so badly I've ben on a Transformers collecting spree lately. Very good item

I purchased the Transformers DVD season one for my son for his fourth birthday.I was very happy with the product and so was my son. It was in great condition.
The videos were in perfect condition and the box that it came in was in perfect condition. We were very happy with this and will not hesitate to purchase this type of product again. Other than being very happy with this product I am not sure what else to say.

This is the greatest show on television my son says. He loves the entire show - no dislikes. He is 24 years old.

I liked it as i watched the show when it was orginally on tv and am a transformers fan and collector.

I bought it so I can complete the set of seasons, which I have almost done.

And as the series isn't available in stores, ebay was the best way to purchase the season(s) that I am missing.

The product the seller sold was as he discribed and was received within 1 week. Great job.. My handicaped son was very happy with the outcome. Thanks again.

I liked this cartoon series when I was growing up and wanted to be able to watch them again with my son. Cartoons these days don't seem to be as good. My son now loves the Transformers and I am looking forward to getting all the other seasons for him.

The first season of the original Transformers cartoon is great! It shows how the Autobots and Decepticons arrived on earth, as well as the origins of a number of the major characters, such as the dinobots and constructicons. The quality of the DVD is great - the color and sound is excellent.

WE ARE TOP NOTCH TRANSFROMER COLLECTORS, BUYERS AND SELLER AND OF COURSE THIS IS A LAW NOT TO BE BROKEN NOT TO HAVE SESON 1 OF THE ORIGINAL T-FORMER U.S. TV SERIES! CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WILL NEVER DIE EVEN AT OUR OLD AGE!!! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES..........

I'm a fan of transformers G1. There is one thing that I dont dislike about this title other than it being out of print(out of print).This is an OOP title any transformer fan must have in their collection!!!

We had a minor missed communication, but was resolved and the transaction to purchased the Transformers - Season 1: Boxed Set (2002, DVD)arrived as described. It was an overall pleasant and position transaction.

When The Transformers debuted in america in the early 1980's alien robots had been a bastion of science fiction films of the 1950's. Taking inspiration from a cartoon from Japan, this story takes a leap by giving the robots souls and character. (as opposed to being just machines that humans control). Possibly inspired by the writings of Isaac Asimov, The Transformers (american version season one) gave life to robots like never before. Taking a cue from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, this program showed what a group of friends could do against the forces of evil. Sure there were super powered groups before in comics and tv shows, but these were alien robots that had the built in technology to camoflouge in their surroundings. A remarkable feat of evolution, and what that shows is that these machine men were alive! Leaps and bounds in Paleontology at the time sparked an interest in dinosaurs and the movie E.T. an interest in alien life forms so this story of a meeting between ancient aliens and humans was perfectly timed. Mixing themes from Cold War espionage of the forties and of the space race of the sixties ,breakdancing robots of the 1980's were ready to be thrown into the mix. Showing a family model like no other, The Autobots, led by the surly Optimus Prime fought for survival against the domiating Decepticons, led by the cold as ice Megatron. The Music was epic as well as the pathos. Making the Transformers an addition to your child's world is a great idea, as they provide some great role models.

Brings back alot of memories, very recommended if you grew up watching transformers. You'll enjoy it till the end.

just like old times back in the early 80's. I love it! Includes cartoon cells, special features include the whole restoration history and a split screen series of clips for comparison of the cartoon films before and after restoration. take a trip down memory lane with the transformers.

I bought it for my son and he loved to watch it when he was a kid. He has been trying to find Rare Cartoons like this for a long time. Plus when he dose most of them are to much money. So I am very happy to find these kinda things at a fair price.
