The name or term "Rebirth" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rebirth (disambiguation).
We could be HEROES, just for one day.

Season 4 of the original cartoon series consisted of a three-part episode titled "The Rebirth". It introduced dozens of new characters, and conversely, provided a sense of closure for the show as a whole.

It was originally meant to be a five-part episode (à la "Five Faces of Darkness"), but due to waning interest in The Transformers at the time, Hasbro reduced it to a three-part episode instead, thus leading to the series' at-times rushed feeling and pacing, complete with barely any character development for the majority of the new characters (some don't even have a line of dialogue).

AKOM animated it. We're sorry.
