In "Battle Of The Planets", Casey Kasem's character would yell out "TransssMUTE!", causing him to morph into the leader of G-Force.

Kellogg's, yes. Saved By The Bell, no. There will never be a Saved By The Bell quote on these hallowed pages.
Saved by the Bell? I think not. Methinks its a line from a classic M*A*S*H epdisode. The connection still escapes me, though.
It is indeed a line from a classic M*A*S*H episode, regarding a fictional captain. (Hawkeye made up Captain Tuttle to receive praise for giving to the orphanage, rather than take the credit himself.) Whilst Cap'n Crunch is indeed a fictional captain as well (or perhaps a fictional "Cap'n") the Connection has more to do with Kellogg's as a whole, rahter than a specific cereal.
OO! OO! So VERY close, Tommy! Battle Creek, Michigan is INDEED the Connection. Kellogg's is headquartered there, and it's also the hometown of the fictional Captain Tuttle. Radar suggested Tuttle be from Attumwa, Iowa, but Hawkeye said they already had enough to be proud of.
You are an evil genius, Hobgood. Namaste.
