So I was YouTube Surfing as I do whilst waiting for dinner to finish cooking, when I stumbled across an audio track that I haven't heard in FOREVER, and delivered a solid kick of nostalgia I wasn't at all prepared for...
SEEKERS VS. HISS TANKS
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vXi3gxvKpM
It immediately reminded me of one of my favourite scenes which, for reasons I can't quite articulate, has remained a fond memory since childhood. Perhaps it was because throughout the two part storyline (a rarity in those days) of 'Megatron's Master Plan', the Decepticons spent the majority of two episodes just straight up winning, and only when it was darkest, did the Autobots pull off the big W. I think its possibly my first recollection of a 'All Is Lost Moment/Hero Spot' one, two combo works so well when executed correctly (see also, Avengers: End Game portals scene).
Starscream: Any further rescue attempts will result in the extermination of this city!
Megatron: You see? Even earths mightiest warriors can not stop us. Soon other cities will fall, then others, one after the next until Earth... is ours.
Berger: No! I won't let you!
*Dismissive backhand*
Megatron: Grovel for my amusement.
Spike: Do you hear that? Sounds like... Autobots!
Optimus Prime: Megatron!!
Megatron: No... impossible. I saw you disintegrated!!
Optimus Prime: Illusion Megatron. Just as you made the people of Earth see us Autobots as villains, we to staged an illusion.
Megatron: Decepticons, assemble for Battle!!
Optimus Prime: Autobots, TRANSFORM!!
...I still get goose bumps today.
Love it.
I just felt like sharing.
