Ok. Galvatron does NOT sound like that.

How does Optimus know who Galvatron is?

Why's Galvatron keeping the fancy metal in such a silly location?
Oh, is it just a trap?
If it is a trap how did the Autobots fall for it?

You should watch them in order they were released on VHS in UK - so series 4 first & Optimus return last & most of the middle not at all.

Should I stop watching this and watch Faces of Darkness? No, it's rubbish Dark Awakening does tie into this though but only in terms of why Optimus Prime is on a ship Spoiler In Dark Awakening, Optimus Prime comes back to life and crawls out of his grave and returns to lead the Autobots but it turns out that it is a trick, and the Quintessons have resurrected him but turned him into their control. Optimus Prime breaks free of their control and sacrifices himself by piloting his ship into a (um, sun? planet? device? can't remember) that explodes.
Return of Optimus Prime forgets the whole 'exploding' thing and they find him in his ship adrift. As if no-one read the script of the previous story. Spoiler As I remember it they did try to make return fit into Dark Awakening. Fairbornes ship comes across Primes as it is heading towards whatever hes aiming at and remove Prime before the ship explodes. It really doesnt work, but they did try. Assuming Prime probably wasn't intended to return when Awakening was made they made the best of the situation. If They did know Prime was coming back, well then they utterly bodged it.

The Matrix spread out and cured the World/Galaxy/Universe (all were used in the episode) at super-luminal speeds???

THE RETURN OF OPTIMUS PRIME is fab though I hated it first time as I had believed the lying video cover for many years before I first saw the episodes (when they first came out on dvd).
Yeah, kids, imagine a world where the only way to see old cartoons was to hope for a dvd or slowly download poor quality Realplayer files on dial-up. No streaming. No youtube.

Well I'm glad I've finally seen it. And I remain very grateful for the DVDs. But I thought it was fairly rubbish. Really clumsy story-telling, animation, dialog. It's no series 1 that's for sure!
So what next? Andu's favorite?

The animation is poorer but I find TROP more fun. Most of S3 doesn't do much for me but I like that story. It's so silly.

I think season 3 is the best of the Sunbow series, but I prefer stuff set in space
Go watch Call of the Primatives as a one-off to inspire you and then watch them in order

My answer is always: 'Episode 1 and forward from there one episode at a time. With your phone switched off.' *old man rant over* -Ralph

Spoiler Return of Optimus Prime forgets the whole 'exploding' thing and they find him in his ship adrift. As if no-one read the script of the previous story. Hmm. That isn't right Blue. The script for Return is very carefully woven into Dark Awakening. The problem was the storyboarding/animation wasn't as careful which led to visual inconsistencies. The plot itself is a clever retro-fit.
