Me too. I remember my dad sometimes making the comment that my vocabulary had gotten bigger from watching "that cartoon with the robots." Call me a geek, but I even got to the point where I would have a dictionary on the couch beside me when I watched, just so I could look up the new words and see "exactly" what they meant lol

I noticed alot 80s-90s cartoons used stronger vocabulary words, like. It was a good learning tool that treated kids, intelligently. I hate when cartoons talk down to kids.

Can't stop the signal.

And let's not forget Hook's memorable "Uncharismatic Bore" insult towards Soundwave.
If we're talking vocab, I think he was calling him a "boor" not a "bore." "Boor" meaning uncultured. Pronounced the same.

No. It was, "Hey, nobody calls Soundwave uncraismatic!".

Indeed, most of the ten-dollar words came from the bad guys alone.
Megatron must've uttered a number of them, like Defective Mentality, Terminate & Termination, Transfixed, Incompetence. From Unicron I learned, Dubious, Misjudged, Exaggerate. And let's not forget Hook's memorable "Uncharismatic Bore" insult towards Soundwave.
I seem to remember the GI Joe movie had it's fair share when Cobra Commander berated Serpentor and so forth.
