Season one of the cartoon commercial The Transformers begins with the three-part More Than Meets the Eye, which explains how the two warring Transformers armies from the planet Cybertron, Optimus Primes good-guy Autobots and Megatrons bad-guy Decepticons, were placed in suspended animation when they attempted to expand their battle to prehistoric Earth. Thawing out in 2005 A.D., the combatants resume their war as if nothing had happened, with the Autobots gaining a bit of an advantage by winning two human earthlings, Spike and Sparkplug, over to their side. A later episode, Roll for It, introduces another major human ally of the Autobots, computer whiz Chip Chase. Subsequent season-one highlights include the three-part story, The Ultimate Doom, wherein Megatron enlists the aid of a mad (Do you hear? Mad!) human scientist in attempting to bring Cybertron into Earths orbit. And A Plague of Insecticons introduces a brand-new threat to Autobots and Decepticons alike -- not to mention a fresh new line of Hasbro-licensed Transformer toys! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
