The episodes of Transformers Season 3 (G1) that weren't Akom.

 I thought I did something a little different today rather than reviewing figures. One thing that often bogged my mind was how the animation in the original Transformers series took a serious dive after Transformers the movie (1986). Akom was the company responsible for animating most of the season thereafter and the quality really shows; Carnage in C-Minor, anyone? However, amid a series of poor animating lies a few decent and superb animated episodes. Despite the lackluster season 3, it was a breath of fresh air to see awesome quality animation I'm about to discuss about, usually done by Toei. Let's get started!

Season 3

Episode 6 : The Killing Jar

Episode 7 : Chaos

A fairly good episode that gives Kup his moment to shine. Features a no-faced Predaking for the entire show.

Episode 9: Starscream's Ghost

Too bad the follow-up: Ghost in the Machine wasn't in the same quality.

Episode 12: Surprise Party

Episode 15: Fight or Flee

One of the better episodes imo. Sometimes you have to fight even if you don't want to.

Episode 16: Webworld

The episode that addresses Galvatron's insanity but also is uncanny in many ways.

Episode 18: The Dweller in the Depths

Transformers version of Zombies.

Episode 19: Nightmare Planet

Not the best animated but visuals are still better than anything Akom.

Episode 20: The Ultimate Weapon

One of my favorites of this season. Rodimus Prime finding his confidence.

Episode 23: Only Human

Very nice for the G.I. Joe/Transformer crossover.

Episode 25: Money is Everything

Episode 26: Call of the Primitives

Voted in miles the best animated episode of all season 3. I can see why. It's amazing! 

Episode 27: The Burden Hardest to Bear

Rodimus having issues as leader again. Scourge getting the spotlight. Better than Akom but contrast looks so dark that was my only issue with this episode.

Episode 29&30: The Return of Optimus Prime 1&2

Honestly, it would had been a travesty to had both episodes animated Akom style. Glad to see TROOP in good quality.

Final words: Honestly, about half the season had pretty good quality animation especially top notch ones like Chaos, Call of the Primitives, Return of Optimus Prime 2 and so forth. But Akom made the other half and it was simply too hard to look the other way. That's how most people remember season 3 thanks to that half. Would had been nice if most of the season was animated by Toei like they did season 1 and 2. Jesus loves you. Take care.
