During the second season of the [[Generation 1 (television series)|Generation 1]] cartoon, a series of '''public service announcements''' (or '''"PSA"s''') were produced starring characters from the ''Transformers''. These PSAs were almost exact duplicates of versions done featuring characters from ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', which were inevitably the more memorable of the two (what with having actually aired on the teevee). Each PSA ended with one of the troubled kids spouting "Now I know!" The featured Transformer would then follow it up with the infamous catch-phrase, "And knowing is half the battle!"

There were a total of 5 PSAs produced, each with a different lesson to be learned.

*"Don't run away from home" featuring [[Bumblebee]].

*"Don't steal cars" featuring [[Tracks]].

*"Don't bike at night without reflectors" featuring [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]].

*"Don't boat without a lifejacket" featuring [[Seaspray]].

*"Don't jump to conclusions about people" featuring [[Powerglide]].

*"Don't whiz on the electric fence" fea- oh, sorry.

These PSAs were never aired, however. They remained largely unseen, until they were added as bonus content to the [[Kid Rhino]]s Generation 1 Season 3 part 1 DVD set, then later to [[Transformers (Melbourne House)|''Transformers'' PlayStation 2 game]] by [[Melbourne House]]. They were also made available on [[Madman Entertainment|Madman Entertainment's]] Generation 1 part 6 DVD box set.

The sole exception to this is the "don't bike at night without reflectors" PSA, which was not added to the DVD due to its strangely violent content. In the PSA Red Alert, not seeing a group of bikers who were foolishly biking at night without reflectors, accidentally runs the bikers over, twice.
