Seinfeld Is Unfunny is now a disambiguation page.
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: If you're a modern Transformers fan seeing the series for the first time, you'll probably be unimpressed with how goofy things are (it ''was'' the 80s, after all) or the glacial pacing of the series. However, The Headmasters is also the first TV Transformers series with actual depictions of death (the Movie was only released in theatres, and Japan didn't receive it until well after Anime/TransformersVictory was airing). Furthermore, the Destrons actually won in several episodes, something that was expressly forbidden by US TV of the time.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Despite Galvatron's Grand Galvatron design looking rather... ridiculous, you know who else had a rounded body, stubby long arms and legs? Unicron, when his prototype toy was made in 1986 after the movie, and that version of the toy was never released due to cost concerns, faulty arms and microphone. [=Super7=] would actually release their version of the (non-transforming) prototype toy years later.

* CharacterRerailment: Galvatron is much more like his personality in the movie, being a genuinely threating villain and a clever strategist, rather than the comic relief villain from Season 3.

** Since the film had yet to reach Japan when the series was being made, the animators pretty much had to guess how Optimus Prime died in battle. Let's just say that they guessed wrong; he's in a barely-animated crowd of various Autobots firing at unseen enemies, gets hit by a random blaster bolt from off-screen, and turns gray without moving at all. [=TFwiki=] jokes that not only do the other Autobots not seem to notice/care about their leader perishing, but the scene manages to give the impression of ''Optimus himself'' not realizing he died.

* BadassDecay: Everybody, including citybots and massive combiners (eg: Predaking) are suddenly almost impotent (of course, Devastator had already been outclassed by the time Superion and Defensor were introduced in Season 2 of the original series, only being considered a threat in the movie because of AnimationLeadTime), and only the exalted Headmasters can save the day.

** Galvatron's proposed super mode [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grand_Galvatron Grand Galvatron]] is meant to be his ultimate power fantasy, but the stubby limbs attached to a comparatively much large body just makes him look fat and ridiculous. The English dub also tries unsuccessfully to link it to Unicron by calling the form "Unicorn", a common typo involving the character's name that would get used as a joke years later in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. Even more hilarious is Sixshot's reaction to the form in the dub, where his exaggerated "Whoa" makes him sound less like he's in awe and more like he's having an orgasm.

* AssPull: Galvatron's defeat. He has survived a planetary explosion at ''ground zero'', but when the Headmasters defeat him, they buried him in an avalanche. The [=TFWiki=] lampshades this in the Continuity Errors section of the episode.

** Likewise with Daniel. ''Any'' goodwill he could have had in the cartoon is utterly wasted in the anime due to him acting younger than whatever his real age is. Him and Wheelie helping out in the finale to take out Scorponok only made things worse to many.

** The animation quality is around the same as what Toei did for the first two seasons of the original cartoon. That is to say, pretty prone to OffModel and low-quality artwork (even if not to the level of AKOM).
