This bit always seemed weird to me. G1 Decepticons weren't usually this powerful, right?

This is like TFA-levels of OP

I feel like individual Decepticons have always had mad feats. Doesn't fucking Starscream tear through like a dozen autobots at some point in one of the later series?

You're either talking about Cybertron or Animated

Nothing in G1 is consistent.

G1 is inconsistent as shit, but honestly, tge reasoning for TFA Decepticons being OP - they're military hardware rather than repurposed civilian tools - applies to G1, too.

On the original Tech Spec scale of 1 to 10, Soundwave has a strength of 8. That makes him pretty up there in terms of strength.

Soundwave was like the only competant Decepticon.

...

Soundwave is best decepticon that's why

>That dropkick by Ironhide

Gets me everytime.

I always liked how the Insecticons of all things showcase enough powers in their debut episode to fill out an entire season's worth of one-shot and side characters.

Soundwave's strength was 8 on a 1-10 scale. He's stronger than iron hide, sideswipe and prowl, who are all 7's.

...

Isn't Starscream meant to be insanely powerful anyway?

I thought he was like mid-high tier. Not normally powerful enough to do that anyway.

>Dr. Smoov
MAH NIGGSA

In G1 he was easily one of the most powerful non-combiner/giant transformer. He was the leader of and the most powerful Seeker, and they were the most powerful Decepticons.

>Doubting Soundwave
The more useless the transformation, the stronger the robot.

Soundwave is great.

...

kek, I will never not laugh at Omega Supremes full body appearing. Fucker uses his rocket to fly autobots to another planet then somehow fucking transforms. Good stuff.

For the whole of G1, it was heavily implied that the Depecticons were much more powerful, and only lost because the Autobots fought smarter, not harder.

He just teleports his body.

...

...

I realise, it is still funny though. Keep the webms coming user, enjoying them!

oh yeah, that fad of flying boomboxes from 1983. Good times.

...

He's above-average for sure however he tends to run the second he takes damage.

a good second in command knows when to NOT punch back.

I like that the episode was pretty much the one time Starscream did nothing and Megatron just beats the fuck out of him.

Yeah, generally speaking Starscream's a little bitch.

BAH GAWD

Man, I love Pre-Electric Soldier Porygon explosions in Japanese animation.

All the fucking flashing lights you could possibly want.

...

I'm a g1 Starscream fanboy but I can't deny he is a coward.

>using the Quintesson origin

how can TFA be so based

Cutthroat has a MASTERS in Limited Animation.

Soundwave and Megatron need to be strong because they essentially are fighting the entire autobot army plus occasionally Starscream alone.

...

Soundwave has the rarest trait for a Decepticon, competence.

But the G1 Quintession origin IS canon, and made more since.
>Soundwave wasn't OP, he was simply a good trooper...hence his rank.

...

...

...

...

I guess when you turn into a Boom box you learn how to not act retarded pretty quick.
Also, if the Decepticons are all military hardware, does that make Shockwave a Battle Box?

...

Law of diminishing ninjas.

Shockwave is a gun, like Megatron. You mean Soundwave, and yes, his rhymes are sick.

>Soundwave dies
>becomes Soundblaster
>fuses with Shockwave
>Shockblaster

wud you buy

I would be lewd with any iteration of either Soundwave or Shockwave.

...

This one?

ESPECIALLY that one.

>yfw you read that caption in his voice

Dark souls

You have to admit, Transformers was quite a progressive cartoon for the time. Not even nowadays you have cartoons with full retard heroes.

I think it's cool to have full retards whenever it's cavemen-and-dinosaurs stuff

Call of the primitives

Best animated episode ever

>Lower Undead Burg

Why were transformers intros so based?

Yeah, if you were to start mocking all that was stupid in G1 Transformers it could take you days, but i can see how 6 year old me loved the shit out of it.

jesus christ.

IIRC, this is Masami Obari's first time where the studio just let him do everything, and they discovered that he can make miracles with limited budget.

YOU CAN'T SHOOT FOR SHIT, SHOCKWAVE!

Only if you're a Seeker fangirl.

Being a great flyer doesn't make you a great fighter - listen to an army soldier talk smack about the air force.

Kek

Now I wanna see a

>you are dead

After that drop kick

There's a reason he's second in command. He's always at least decently competent and usually above average though in terms of pure power he doesn't get to Megatron, OP or any of the non standard powerful characters levels. He tends to be written very inconsistently so he gets a weird mix of power and clever moments and cowardice with some very dumb ideas.

He is extremely powerful in any event. Also, army talking shit about the airforce. Grunts always hate their betters.

alternatively, listen to infantry jerking off to furry porn in their bunks

it's pretty much all you can hear from outside the tent

...

Shockwave transformed into a lamp post on Cybertron.

Nigga is the best flyer, in terms of raw strength though he's a little bitch. He was a scientist before joining up with the 'Cons o it's understandable.

That was Soundwave.

>tfw smoov hasn't done anything in almost 10 years

and swoop does nothing, as usual

Being a Scientist in Transformers doesn't mean you're fucking Perceptor. Shockwave is a Scientist and he is debatably more powerful than Megatron.

i want more things like this, just lasers being fired GI Joe style and not hitting shit

...

I always thought that he could transform into anything like a all purpose desguise, since he was a supposed spy

Make way for Sixshot the greatest transformer ever.

I like how Blitz was so consistently portrayed as a total badass, he regularly told megatron to toss of whenever he just didn't feel like doing something.

He also employed the greatest commander the Decepticons ever had. Nameless football coach.

...

...

>Debatably

That's a funny way to say Sky Lynx

I gotta admit guys ive never seen anything transformers ever and this stuff looks great, dum, but great

Well i mean expect the Micheal bay movies but ehhhh

How could any other transformer top Sixshot, man. Sixshot went out and fucked some robopussy and had a son.


The best

Obari was not involved at all.
