    I think the episides are called The Tracker and Crash Of The Titan ( the later being the finale).

    Its worth watching for a scene in 35 years as a transformers fan i never would have expected near the end ( no spoilers)

    She was my favorite right from the get-go and remained that way all throughout the show. A lot of it really comes down to her voice and exuberance.

    I picked up some of the big chunky 1-step RBA toys for my kids and they loved playing with Whirl’s rotor blades, so of course they fought over who got to have her. So I ended up having to go out and buy a 2nd one just to keep the peace. :p

    If little kids today can’t emotionally handle the cartoons that were acceptable and aimed towards little kids in the 80s then that’s a poor reflection of modern society.

    Its not the kids, its the parents thinking that their kids can't handle it.

    It is not out of touch middle-aged dudes that will decide what toddlers should and should not handle just becasue they're mad the children's franchise they failed to move from is still a children's franchise.
    The fact that an adult man would have that attitude you're showing speaks worse about society than any cartoon that unpleases you.

    if Transformers is strictly a children’s franchise, then G1 and Beast Wars should be the standard that Transformers should live up to. Because they too were shows aimed at children.

    There were dumb episodes, but they didn’t talk down to kids or treat them as stupid. Today’s shows treat little kids as stupid.

    I know legions of 80s and 90s kids that grew up monumentally stupid, so I would highly doubt that claim. Also lol at acting like your average Rescue Bots episode doesn't have more education value and long-standing character development than your average G1 episode just because they're less violent.

    No one in my age was even alive when the original Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Flintstones or the Three Stooges were being made. I don't think I knew a single kid who didn't grow up watching and loving at least one of them. Not to mention dozens of family shows like Andy Griffith, Brady Bunch or Gilligan's Island that also ended years before any of us were born.

    There's no reason kids today can't do the same to any of those shows, plus family shows that came out on the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s unless their parents have pushed their own issues and phobias on them. Yeah, that does include the original Transformers, GI Joe, Real Ghostbusters and TMNT, all of which were written primarily for 6 to 10 year old kids. They just happened to not be dumbed down so much that adults could and do still enjoy them.

    Rescue Bots was aimed at an even younger audience, but like pretty much every classic cartoon I've mentioned, wasn't dumbed down to speak to toddlers, because the producers always hoped the whole family could watch the show together.

    I used to use Batman 66 as my barometer of people's emotional maturity, but G1 has become a similar gauge. The child just gets swept up in the fun. The adult knows it's silly fun and just has a good time if they pay it any mind at all. The teenager hates it because it exists and hates that people like it.

    Just a heads up- the rest of RBA has been put on Netflix in North America now. Binge to your heart’s content.
