They used the markerbob Krusty Krab in Plankton's Army, even though the actual episode has normal animation

I would say Chimps Ahoy is more of a post-movie Markerbob

They used markerbob backgrounds in said episode

I think markerbob looks weird with dull colors, Pranks A Lot, while the last episode of season 3, the last pre-movie, and as well as the last markerbob episode, has dull colors, I prefer the vibrant coloring of early-to-mid season 3

Spongebob has such an odd design in this scene in Plankton's Army:
However, except for the backgrounds, the entire episode still has normal animation

In I'm With Stupid, which is obviously a markerbob episode, Spongebob has his transit design for the first few -seconds when he's knocking on Patrick's door, but for the rest of the episode, he's full-on:
For those who don't notice, look at Spongebob's head shape, the transit one is more nacho shaped (Skinnier on the bottom, wider on the top), but the full-on markerbob design is proportionately square.

That looks more like early rather than transit

Early has rougher lines like season 1 markerbob does

markerbob episodes also have more straight lines than episodes with regular animation. In markerbob, Spongebob's shorts are more blocky, in normal episodes, his pants have wobbly lines

Season 2 has the most interesting and inconsistent animation in the entire show

Markerbob didn't last long enough. I wish season 4 used toonz premium so we could have a fourth stage of markerbob. Not pseudo markerbob, real markerbob. If we had stage 4 markerbob, I wonder what it would look like.

Ehh ToonBoom must be easier and more advanced than ToonzPremium

I think seasons 1-6 of Family Guy used Toonz Premium, then they switched to Toon Boom in season 7

If i could animate properly, i would recreate season 4 scenes with markerbob, that would be amazing

I think season 3 of Dexter's Lab used Toonz Premium, but season 4 used toon boom. That's why season 4 has vast coloring improvement. Now the first two seasons+ego trip are cel animated, even a blind person knows that.

I think every season 4 episode up to Krabs vs Plankton used Toonz Premium. There are some scenes that look like season 3 except with dull colors, but then again, I could be wrong, since early season 4 does have higher picture quality.
