A vintage recording of this episode renders the title as "Battle for Gobotron", without the "The". --Sabrblade (talk) 06:42, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, the original 5-part miniseries never had on-screen title cards (with the titles being mentioned in the opening narrations instead). The copy of the first episode you linked originates from the 100 minute 'telemovie' version released on VHS. All this aside, it is indeed a vintage copy of the episode, and there is definitely a lack of "The" in the title. If it helps, the book and cassette/record adaptation of the episode (using animation frames for pictures no less) was also called "Battle for Gobotron". :) --PaulAgnewArt (talk) 07:02, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
I was going to say, there weren't title cards on the individual episodes, so I would have adopted the position that the version with no "The" would be considered the title of the "movie" version, but if there are other media that use it to refer to just the episode, then no "The" it must be! - Chris McFeely (talk) 10:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
