In today's 4 for 4 we ask you what are you favourite episodes from any TF series, and which are the worst ones! (Armada Carnival comes to mind..)
For me there's loads of favourites from G1, without a doubt the three part MTMTE. I liked The Ultimate Doom with the human slaves and Sparkplug getting brainwashed, turning on Spike. SOS DInobots and Dinobot islands, just because of the Dinobots, though the latter has been one of my favourites since I was a kid. I also enjoyed Starscream's ghost - good too see him back after being killed in the 86' movie and posessing Decepticons!
There's tonnes of Beast Wars ones two especially from season 2 & 3. I liked that one however when Rhinox was turned into a pred (Shape of things to come!) and went round fully charged and sneakily taking out each Predacon!
What are your faves and ones you not love to hate but consider the worst?

One of my favourite G1 episodes is Ghost in the Machine. Gotta love Starscream coming back and making a deal with Unicron, only to doublecross him.
My least favourite is Carnage in C-Minor. Awful episode. Far too many animation errors, very weak plot, the singing aliens annoyed the hell out of me, and having Blaster and Soundwave repeat EVERYTHING they said really got on my nerves.
Been a while since I watched any other series, so I'm struggling to think of other episodes to comment on.

I dislike the Season 3 episodes with Grimlock as a waiter. Its one thing to have the Dinobots dumb, but to make them look stupid as hell really diminishes the character.
MTMTE is definately up there, but so are some of the episode right after it. They just have some ill scenes that left a wicked impression on my mind.

Can't have this discussion without bringing up what has been considered one of the best episodes in Transformers history, Code of Hero. It was a good episode, with Dinobot finally showing why he was truly a Maximal. I also like the Animated episode where Ratchet is having flashbacks to the war when him and Arcee got captured by Lockdown. Was a good episode with some more mature themes.
Hated episode, I'll just say that in recent years it was the first episode of Animated that dealt with the Headmaster. The episode later on with him in it also sucked.

Favorite Episdoes: (G1) MTMTE, Cosmic Rust, and The God Gambit...
(BW) The debut episode, the multi-part storyline where they invade the Ark (BW titles elude me at the moment), and the introduction of Depth Charge...
(BM) The first few episodes stand out in my mind...
(RiD) The episodes towards the end of the series that featured Fortress Maximus in it...
I watched a handful of Armada and maybe one or two each of Energon and Cybertron, so I can't really comment. I could just say they all sucked based on what I saw, but that wouldn't be fair or accurate...
(Animated) I never saw much of Season 3, but Seasons 1 and 2 were so awesome I can't pick a favorite...
Worst: The usual G1 suspects-- Carnge in C-Minor, Hoist Goes to Hollywood, Arise Atlantis, Sea Change, and The Girl Who Loved Powerglide. Really? Really. Really?
I never cared much for Rampage in Beast Wars... or was is Quickstrike? I don't remember.

Lets not forget B.O.T., that was garbage.
Rampage was the massive badarse nightmare that fed on fear, Quickstrike was a stupid cowboy bandit type the yelled Yehaw a lot.
