It was a TERRIBLE cartoon. Bad art, bad writing, just plain bad. But it did have that entertainingly transparent Megatron/Starscream dynamic--I swear all their conversations were like the one I printed above, except for the ones that were "Megatron has a paper cut! IT IS MY CHANCE TO SEIZE POWER!" "No, it's not, Starscream, sit the hell down." Megatron WAS an incompetent loser, but I'll give him one thing: with Starscream, he had the patience of a SAINT.
The best episode is the Fantastic Voyage ripoff. Not because of the ripoff itself, but because of the scene where the Decepticons all get totally smashed and start reminiscing about their home planet. "Good ol' Shybertron! Those were the daysh! Din't hafta wear these shtoopid dishguises ..." Then Laserbeak augurs into the ground and they all pass out.
