The clips are entitled "Ep1-3: Autobots Trans-scan", which is 25 minutes into the the episode when the Autobots are awoken on Earth for the first time, "Ep 1-3: Starscream's Discovery" which is when Starscream discovers the location of the Allspark and finally "Ep 1-3: Starscream Transscan" which is the scene in which Starscream receives his Earth alt mode. As always the videos are available at both TransformersAnimated.com and Transformers At The Moon.
Remember that the video section on TransformersAnimated.com is in episode order, where as the video section on Transformers At The Moon is in order of the date that the video was added (latest first).We have added another clip from the first episode of Transformers Animated to the video section of the site. We've entitled the clip "Ep1-3: History", and is the from the start of the episode where Optimus Prime is watching the history video, the scenes from the Generation One show, and talks to Ratchet about what he remembers from the Great War. As always the video is available at both TransformersAnimated.com and Transformers At The Moon.
In the Transformers At The Moon video section you will also find other video clips that are not Transformers Animated related, and those videos appear in date order. On Transformers Animated .com, the videos are ordered by episode, so you will need to scroll down a little to find the Ep1-3: History entry.
You can now find another Transformers Animated clip in the video section, this time from Transformers Animated episode 1 (Transform and Roll Out). The video shows the Decepticon attack on the Ark and is the longest video clip so far, so it may take a while to stream for those on slower connections.
The video is available on both Transformers Animated and Transformers At The Moon
