The dub
As mentioned elsewhere the
English dub is pretty horrible and full of inaccuracies, with none of the original voice actors
returning and instead, there is about eight different people at the most to fill all of these roles. Anyways, here is a guide to the things the dubbers got wrong.

DUB "HIGHLIGHTS"!
Here's a bunch of brilliant quotes to listen to straight from the dub.
BILLY
Rodimus Prime: Billy are you okay?
Billy: Not really! *dies*
CHROMEDOME
(Chromedome sees Gus has survived) "Gus! You're not dead............... that's great!"
"Stop you evil man!"
COMPUTRON
(Computron picks up Galvatron) "You look kind of funny if you ask me!"
FORTRESS MAXIMUS
"Galvatron! Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"
GALVATRON
(Galvatron watches Soundwave and Billy fight on a view screen) "Go on Soundwave! Go and finish them off quickly!"
(Galvatron sees Soundwave fall over as one of his arms falls off) "Get up Soundwave!"
(Galvatron sees Soundwave explode) "Darn that Soundwave. EUUUUAAAAAGHHHH!"
"Hahahahaha! How was that, you guys are a bunch of useless blockheads!"
HARDHEAD
(Hardhead sees Mindwipe using his hypnotism on Rodimus) "Hey what is the awful noise? Okay let me straighten him out!"
NEW SOUNDWAVE
(New Soundwave's caseetess' return to his chest) "Hello, my little friends!"
RODIMUS PRIME
(Billy has just died) "Billy I promise you...I'll get those dirty scum for you!"
SOUNDWAVE
"Okay then... we'll find out who's gonna win!"
SIDESWIPE
"Cor we were lucky this time!"
SIXSHOT
"You Autobots are a bunch of fools. Don't even think about winning this battle!"
"Alright now listen up. I'm the ninja consultant for the Decepticons. My name is Sixshot!"
"Do you have any food with you little boy?"
STUPID THINGS
Here's some extra stupid stuff.
"Rodimus Prime?! Optimus Prime Prime?!"
Galvatron: Hahahahaha! You just can't compete. The game is over Rodimus Prime!
New Soundwave: Excuse me sir.
Galvatron: What is it?
New Soundwave: Can you come over for a second?
Galvatron: Huh? Just speak!
New Soundwave: Uh... I can't. There's something that I want to tell you that I don't want them to overhear.
Galvatron: You chose the right time didn't you!
Galvatron: Alright now listen up everybody! The Sigma computer
is equally important to the Decepticons and to our deadly enemy the Autobots,
you understand? Right, now's the perfect time for us to take over the computer
in order to control all of Cyberdon!
Weirdwolf: My lord, we the robotic regiment can take care of
this, that's no problem at all.
Galvatron: Weirdwolf?! Don't be so ridiculous. This job is to
big a task for your regiment!
Weirdwolf: My lord, don't you worry, my men and I will show
them our true strength. Come with me!
Mindewipe, Skullcruncher: Yes sir! (They
fly through the glass above)
Galvatron: You've got nothing but a swollen head, that's about
all. You saw what happened, those three don't know what they're doing at all.
The first thing that we're going to do is to kick the Autobots out of here!
Rippersnapper: Me sir, let me take care of it! Come on let's
go!
Other Terrorcons: Yes sir! (all the other Decepticons fly
out)
Galvatron: Hahahahahahahha!
DUB FOOTAGE!
Marvel in the terrible voice acting with the addition of picture! By

searching! Because there's way too many to catalogue!
