'One use of mild bad language' XD

I almost laughed my head of when I red this. I don't know if any of you has noticed, but on the UK DVD release, rated PG all way through, the rating comment on season two, part two is "Contains frequent, very mild violence and one use of mild bad language". One use of bad language worth mentioning, in a series 421 minutes long! I've never before actually seen such a comment with an exact number given like that. Sure, we have another rating system here in Sweden, but I do own a fair amount of foreign DVDs anyway, and to me it looks very funny when they so clearly specify that it is only one use of this mild bad language on these DVDs. I cant help but wonder which one they got stuck on, I don't know how bad it must be to qualify for "very mild bad language". I mean, it can't really be "blast" or something at that level, since that is definitely used more than once and obviously doesn't count. Does anyone have any ideas? I've not seen all episodes as yet, but so far I haven't heard anything I would possibly consider classifying as bad language.

Would be grateful for suggestions from those of you who know this series better than I do. Just for the fun of it... =D

Maybe it was when Starscream called the Autobots 'Autoboobs'.

[–] Vihktor-24 15 years ago

If "boobs" can be considered bad language, lets not forget Prime's famous words, "A booby-trap that actually catches boobies!".

[–] Humphrey_Fish 14 years ago

But for both of those, "boob" means something along the lines of "idiot"; not anatomy.

In "Make Tracks" Starscream says "So long, suckers!" to Cosmos and Powerglide, that might be it.

[–] Vihktor-24 14 years ago

Cyclonus also says that in one of the Rebirth episodes, if I'm not mistaken. But since when is "suckers" considered a profanity?

[–] LadyProwl 14 years ago

I don't know if it qualifies at all, but I can't find anything else that does either. Anyway, OP asked for suggestions and this is my contribution =)

Maybe it's because of Slag's name.

See you in another life, brother.

[–] anna-lundin 14 years ago

Considering the amount of times Slag's name is used I find that highly unlikely. Besides, Slag was introduced during season one, and this one-use-of-bad-language-rating was for season 2.

[–] Artdude0529 14 years ago

I was thinking maybe Slag's name, but idk. that's very odd.

what? you were hoping to see some clever signature here? well too bad!

[–] BlimeyCharlie 14 years ago

Maybe the closest thing I can think of is when Starscream, at one point, calls Megatron "Megabum".

Was the '86 movie on there? Spike said "shït" in the movie.

[–] auzzieland78 14 years ago

In the episode "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide", an old man says the line "I feel like an absolute bloody fool" in the opening scenes at the birthday party. "Bloody" isn't a swear word in the US but it is a mild one in the UK - and I remember being quite shocked when I heard it in the cartoon (I was about 8 years old).

[–] anna-lundin 14 years ago

True, that might be it. Thanks!

[–] omegasupreme5000 12 years ago

I agree here, but then, if they included the movie, there would've been at least 2 bad words: *beep* and "d@mn" (when trying to open the Matrix of Leadership "D@mn you, open!"

Yeah like someone else on here implied is Transfomers the movie part of that DVD release? I didnt know how things were packaged over there on the release. If so like someone said, Spike says *beep* in the movie (well most version anyway). Also Ultra Magnus says Damn in the same movie.

"Stick it up your afterburner!"
"I'm too pooped to shoot!" - Cliffjumper
"Stick it in yer tailpipe!" - Ironhide

"Shut 'cher trap." - Ironhide
"Let's crack the crack cases."
"I must have static in my rectifiers."

"You look like Optimus ran you through a mazer powered trash compactor."

"You look like guests of honor at a 100 car pile-up." - Sparkplug

"I think our 'jet-judo' needs a little work."

"You're a human after my own processor!"

Ok, so after a while I just added a few quotes for the fun of it...

[–] cgrill8 13 years ago

Seriously I started up Masterforce, and the very first episode had d4mn subtitled.

[–] Chase_In_Sturgis 10 years ago

Most likely it is in the second episode of "The Return of Optimus Prime" (Season 3, Episode 30...if memory serves). During the scene in which Optimus opens the Matrix (in an effort to "defeat" the Hate Plague), Stan Bush's "The Touch" can be heard. One line in particular, "When all Hell's breakin' loose, you'll be right in the eye of the storm. " was rather out of place in a show from the '80s...ESPECIALLY a cartoon from that time.
