The 'CONTROL ROOM' that Daniel enters is labeled with jumbled hand-written letters when we first see it, but squared computer-font letters as Daniel approaches it.Daniel consistently pronounces Wheelie's name as 'WHEE-LEE', rather than 'WHEEL-ee' like all the other characters.Magnus's proportions, eye shape, and face details are likewise inconsistent. When trying to shake loose the eel creatures, for example, he just drives along with hardly any swerving, breaking, etc. Wheelie's transformations are very inconsistent across the episode, and his driving stunts don't seem to be anywhere close to what the script presumably called for.'Hi, I'm Rodimus, and this is my twin, Not-Optimus' 'Happy birthday, Ultra Magnus! Ha ha ha ha ha!'

'If my superb physique would pass through the tunnels I would join you.' The asteroid security drones are pissed over Daniel's use of incorrect syntax. 'Invalid file name! Invalid file name! Invalid file name!' Daniel is led into a life of crime by Wheelie. 'A ship we'll only borrow! We'll have it back tomorrow.' This seems an awful lot like stealing to me.' Just as they are about to be shot by the drones and eaten by the eels, both menaces are destroyed by Cyclonus and the Sweeps, who take the pair hostage and interrogate them. To make matters worse, the eels have found their way inside and attach themselves to Wheelie. Inside, sentry robots attack them for asking for the wrong file name.

While they are exploring they are attacked by scaly flying eels and take refuge in a cave, which turns out to be the opening to the records. Stuck in a meteor shower, Daniel and Wheelie crash on an asteroid that-surprise!-happens to be the asteroid they were looking for. Galvatron orders his troops to follow it. Unbeknownst to them, their movements are being watched by Cyclonus, who evidently doesn’t have anything better to do than spy on garbage ships. Daniel and Wheelie steal a garbage ship and head out to find the asteroid and the info. An annoying and clumsy Custodiobot tells them that the information must be stored on the lost Autobot storage asteroid. Right now it's playing the end of 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'' by Journey.ĭaniel and Wheelie want to throw Ultra Magnus a surprise party, but no one knows the date of his creation and it isn’t on file in the Hall of Records. Needless to say, this episode was probably nightmare fuel for a whole generation of children.That's a karaoke machine. Constantly driven to the point of lunacy as he questions his own sanity, Shipwreck is even forced to watch his wife and daughter (who unbeknownst to him are clones) melt into a sticky, plastic mess at the climax of the episode, sending him over the edge of madness.

Joe is often considered one of the quintessential Saturday morning cartoons, so it was definitely weird when the child-friendly show suddenly became a Cronenbergian body horror in “There’s No Place Like Springfield”.įocusing on Cobra’s attempts to extract a formula from Shipwreck’s mind by inducing delusions in his head, “There’s No Place Like Springfield” goes full psychological horror at times, with Cobra’s plot serving as a torturous gauntlet of psychological warfare for Shipwreck.

After all, these children’s stories have to be pushed through an adult filter before airing on TV - and it’s always just a matter of time before someone slips up and upsets someone. In fact, it’s nothing short of a miracle that there isn’t more controversy surrounding kid’s cartoons, given the thousands upon thousands of episodes that go into production. RELATED: 15 Comic Book Cartoons From The ’90s You Forgot All About While your typical Saturday morning cartoon may be aimed at kids, it’s easy to forget that it’s adults who make them - and adults don’t always have the best judgement regarding what is and is not suitable for children. As it turns out though, the classic shows you look back on so fondly as you grow older may not be quite as innocent as you remember them being. Bright, fun and innocent, they’re a warm reminder of a simpler time before life and its endless responsibilities got in the way. It’s always tempting to take comfort in the nostalgia surrounding your favorite childhood shows.
