The fourth season of The Transformers was aired in 1987-1988. Season 4 saw many changes to the series, such as better animation, the resurrection of the Autobots who died in the movie, changes to Autobot and Decepticon leadership, and the introduction of new characters. The season, as future seasons would, borrowed many plot elements from the concurrently-running Headmasters, mainly in the form of the characters of Twincast, Soundblaster, the Trainbots, Stepper (renamed Ricochet in the US), Artfire, and the W Cassettebots (renamed the Combiner Cassettes in the US).

  • The fourth season of The Transformers was aired in 1987-1988. Season 4 saw many changes to the series, such as better animation, the resurrection of the Autobots who died in the movie, changes to Autobot and Decepticon leadership, and the introduction of new characters. These paled in comparison to the sudden uptick in violence starting with Starscream's Revenge, with generic Autobots and Decepticons being graphically killed on-screen in all sorts of fashions. The season also began depicting on-screen human deaths, uncensored. Overall, the season is often seen as a turning point in the series, in light of looser FCC regulations and general acceptance of violence in cartoons. Sammonds TV was also not shy of showing such violence, and defying the moral guardians, began unrestricted depictions of violence (this only covered the Transformers, though; humans were killed in decisively less-graphic ways, but still graphic enough to show they were dead). The season, as future seasons would, borrowed many plot elements from the concurrently-running Headmasters, mainly in the form of the characters of Twincast, Soundblaster, the Trainbots, Stepper (renamed Ricochet in the US), Artfire, and the W Cassettebots (renamed the Combiner Cassettes in the US).
