All of the episodes of this series fail the notability guidelines for television episodes. The way for these articles to be improved is through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. That is unlikely to happen, and these only have certain bad aspects (though all may not apply) like containing overly long or one sentence plot summaries, trivia, and quotes. Per that, they need to be a small part of this list.
If there are no objections, these will be redirected soon. Otherwise, discussion will take place here. Please remember that this is not a vote. If you like the information, that's fine and dandy, but your opinion doesn't really count towards anything. The only opinions that do count are ones that that lean towards the inclusion of real world information. TTN 22:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I have no real opinion about the whole "real world" argument, but could we at least not link episode titles to things that have absolutely nothing to do with them (e.g. Countdown to Extinction links to a Megadeth album).-- 76.22.28.203 ( talk) 02:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
There might be some hidden real world information in g1 episodes.eg. someone born 11/12/1972 watching on 11/12/1985 may not realize the search for alpha Trion that words can be translated into numbers and what are the odds of that person at the age of 18 meeting a girlfriend that has a yellow punch bug .or having a niece born on 11/12/1987.just a few of many strange coincidences.

Someone could please put back the "correct view order" ? Maybe it wasnt all correct, but was a major guideline, and i had going by that without any great trouble in show´s sequel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.3.18.77 ( talk) 01:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
In season 3 Dark Awakening aired right before Return of Optimus Prime. I still have it recorded on vhs and after Dark Awakening it says. "What happens to Optimus Prime? Join us tomorrow for 'The Return of Optimus Prime'". If you watch the episodes it is obvious they are supposed to be in that order too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.142.131 ( talk) 17:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
This is confusing because it says it is in chronological order - but season 1 is not if you look at the dates

There is still an issue with the "Order #" column. Season 2's "Aerial Assault" is currently listed as #42 in the story order for that season; but it features the Combaticons who were only introduced in "Starscream's Brigade" - currently listed as #46. "Aerial Assault" should be moved to at least #46. 109.67.40.36 ( talk) 04:48, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
The text says that “the episodes are ordered chronologically by broadcast date”, but there are few towards the end whose reported "No. overall" does not actually match if that were so:

The Production Codes aren't arbitrary numbers that line up with whatever episode order people think the episodes they should go in; they are numbers that are registered with the episodes themselves. JoeD80 ( talk) 13:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

There appears to be a date conflict in this list with regards to when Transformers season 3 ended. In the 'Series overview' table the season finale is stated as March 3, 1987, but in the list of actual season 3 episodes a different date is implied. The two part The Return of Optimus Prime is listed as having aired February 24th and 25th, but other sources claim it aired March 2nd and 3rd. Which set of dates is the correct one?
It would appear the early date in February is more accurate, at least according to this archived video: [1]:

The page states that "The episodes are ordered chronologically by broadcast date" but, in this case, shouldn't Aerial Assault be episode 41 of season 2 instead of episode 48, since it aired on December 10, 1985 (before Masquerade, which aired on December 16)? Or maybe the dates are wrong? WGC ( talk) 20:52, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
