"'''Five Faces of Darkness'''" is the five-part season premiere of the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 animated series]]. It was a direct sequel to the events of [[The Transformers: The Movie|the animated movie]], though none of the celebrity voice actors returned to their roles. <br />
<br />
These episodes are infamous for poor art and animation quality; but from a storytelling perspective they provide much information about ancient [[Transformer]] history, and either establish or reinforce in-character behavior for practically every member of the cast. The story is a wide-ranging adventure, taking place on half a dozen alien worlds as well as Cybertron and Earth.<!-- Chaar, Thraal, Goo, 2 asteroids, the Olympics planet, Junkion --><br />
<br />
"Five Faces of Darkness" is the first appearance of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], and shows the construction of his Decepticon opposite [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], who destroys [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]] in the lead up to a fight between the two [[City-bot|city-bots]].
