Beast Wars had better story though. G1 has ridiculous stories and bad animation. Here's a description of an episode:

Jesus, where to start with this one? The Autobot Seaspray, who turns into a hovercraft, accompanied a group of Autobots as they followed a distress signal to a planet of Transformer-sized humanoids enslaved by the Decepticons. With the Autobots’ help, the natives began a rebellion. Seaspray fell head-over-propellers for an alien woman, Alana, and jumped into a magic pool that turned him into a Fabio-looking guy… with robot feet. He also retained his gurgling voice. The couple then used the pool to turn into merpeople and fight off an underwater Decepticon attack. Later, Seapsray reverted to his Transformer form and Alana became a female Autobot who could change into a gondola. The possibilities for interspecies love are endless! Although they both eventually reverted back to their original bodies, Alana said that shouldn’t stop them from having a relationship, which opened up all kinds of uncomfortable questions in the mind of the viewer. The real loser in the episode was the Decepticon punk Rumble, who jumped into the magic pool and was somehow convinced by Alana to turn himself into a tree. Dumbass.
