  • Generation Poo

  • is this just  a redo of g1?

  • Am I the only one that noticed that from 1:11-1:21 is from the season 5 intro?

  • Hey check it out 1:11-1:21 is the season 5 intro.

  • when did Starscream become some ugly triangle pieces like that???

  • @trungzin315

    Its because the Transformers haven't been to Earth yet to scan jets and cars and stuff to become "robots in disguise". All of them are in their original Cybertonian form

  • FAKE FAKE u liar u are fake!!!!

  • @Liam010203 You do know that G2 is just G1 episodes with CG added to it right? This is G2. The story is only continued in the toyline, comicbook, and japanese manga not the cartoon.

  • it's strange because the 90's were such a good decade. rap was in it's prime, grunge came out, daft punk, power rangers, and gundam was making it's way over to the states. but it was a HORRIFIC decade for transformers. THANK GOD that's over. and even though i hate to say it, it's thanks to Micheal Bay.

  • @goufygoggs Yeah, I remember..I thought it was pretty much over for the Transformers

    franchise.

  • lol, why call it g2? no difference

  • @dissershock because it has the new CG. i like it. It is just like season 5 reruns but with new segments with new characters. It is acualy a good idea when you think about it. Introducing new characters into fiction and advertising for toys at minimal effort.

  • the intro raped my eyes............

  • This is some ghey sh_t man its G1 episode 1 but with ghey little boxes...this makes me want to buttfu_k strange men at the playground

  • That was some ugly ass intro. G1 has a better introduction imo.

  • If Wikipedia is to be believed, this is called a"reversioning", where certain parts of an old show are updated for a new generation. The cartoon itself is the original show from the eighties, but everything else was remade for the nineties generation. I would've probably loved this as a kid.

  • not loving the animation but love the show thanks :)

  • can you buy g2 on dvd.

  • this is like g1 just better

  • @StarWarrior008 No, you're so wrong. I hated this when it came out, way too many annoying cgi interuptions during the action of the cartoon.

  • minecraft

  • thats some badass graphics

  • isn't starscream dead?

    

  • @ralfcaetano He dies in one of the Animated movies I think

  • this is g1 ep 1

  • don't get mad with the show or hasbro..it's just the problem with the toy sales - no new idea, sales stale -

    thnx to the people that came up with the beast wars idea, both the toyline & the tv show..make me wanna watch the whole series again & again from the 80's to the latest one (except the japanese ones - crappy 1 dimensional characters).

  • @kanese7en yeah because generation 1 doesn't have any crappy 1 dimensional ones. I wish you racist motherfucking pieces of trash would just come out and admit it. I don't really care that much for any of the transformer shows, but acting like if its good old USA made its a classic, but if those dirty japs get their hands on it, its "ruined forever"... fuck you. fuck all of you. How about actually watching a fucking show and giving it a fair chance no matter who made it? nvm too much to ask

  • @nejiblue12 You're a moron. The Japanese TF shows are typically the weaker ones. That isn't an opinion, it's a fact. Stop being butthurt and all, "HERP DERP UR A RACIST," And go to bed, little boy.

  • @GundamLeviathan Shut the fuck up motherfucker. I've enjoyed quite a few of the japanese ones more than generation 1. Yeah, you're "fact".  You can take that fact and shove it up your ass. I'll use my brain and make up my own mind, while you can memorize whatever the transformers fandom tells you to think. Now go cry in your corner, "little boy".

  • i remember this one..i watched it in mid-90's, in that time, i thought it was a re-run but it's not - yeah, 'repackage series' with computered animation opening & stuff..haha..what a memory back then...

  • So let me get this straight, this is just the first series with "Xtreme" CGI plastered over it?

    That's it? Really? That's fucking lame.

  • ewwwww... CG D:

  • whats the difference other than those annoying frames that change scenes?

  • this is g1 NOT g2

  • 1:51 SONIC SCREWDRIVER ANYONE?

  • @ishigoto i just realised that becuase of your comment. thats awsome...

  • is it me?or shock wave has a sexy voice in (5:11-5:16

  • Comment removed

  • all generation 2 was, it was just a new excuse for recolored toys from gen 1 to make an apeparance and with a CGI opening and ending, but the episodes were just gen 1 episodes remastered with new commercial cgi cuts instead fo the old switching to autobot or decepticon symbol

  • No wonder why nobody mentions this piece of shit! Its the same fucking show!

  • This is as lame as it gets.

  • This has got some scary ass graphics man...

  • @GuardNinja250 You are not wrong for what you said is true my friend! <:(

  • This is the g1 1st episode!!!

  • this was done to get people to buy the G2 toys ! You can blame Hasbro for it

  • What a fucking waste generation 2 was.

  • soundwave is such a boss

  • so basically if i watched the entire generation 1 transformers show, there would be absolutely no point in watching this? like watching g-force: guardians of space when its the same thing as watching battle of the planets??

  • you should better watch it,,,,,huge crap bastard!!!!!

  • 13 episodes of this crap, no wander nobody talks about it all they used was choppy computer graphics and footage of G1 hell i just consider the ealy comic books they printed as G2.

  • dear g-d! this is awful!!!

    GAG!

  • Comment removed

  • g1, beast wars and armada was the best...this was crap

  • This is why i only like G1 and Armada! what a ripoff!

  • I disagree as well. Clearly there will be many people who won't like it... however it wasn't designed for you, rather the thousands fans that have grown up watching it and bought everything and made them money, clearly indicating they did something right and thus enabling the franchise to EASILY continue even if they messed up on something somewhere down the line, which some would argue has happened. So it's ok some "Dislike" this :)

  • @AcrylicApe this series was great to clean up g1 but the whole 3d and shifting scene thing was unnecesary.

  • i disagree this has selled toys becose its just good

  • I don't get it..... How could this sell toys, even a 7 year old would get pissed watching this in the 90s

  • @cursovfearnor  thats because they watched g1

  • W T F?!!!

    What a rip!€

  • 8:01 to 8:03 lol, in G1 it was Prime with Megatrons voice saying that, nice fix I guess

  • Wait a second this is G1 but updated

  • G2 Would have worked better if it was new cartoon and only ran some of the old episodes to re-introduce the concept. and only featured new toys. Beast wars would have never took off had it not had it's own cartoon series.and moved to all new molds.

  • They were basically Reversioning old G1 transformers episodes to sell the newer toys the presentation was basically viewing old transformers stories on the space cube as history while the comic told the story involving the current toys. it failed to work since you could get TV accurate toys at a thrift shop , your attic,or an flea market. the episode selection omitted some of the better episodes dropping ones that introduced the two of the combiners that got re-issued.

  • Wow, G1 is heaps better.

    Why didn't they make a whole new style of G1 instead of these weird scene changer thingys...? 

  • @TheGenericStranger yea and frank welker as megatron

  • lol.. i cant believe that i once basically adore this series so much that i would do just about anything to get to watch it (i was small, and dont know how to on the TV..so i need my mom to do that for me)...but yea, you kids nowdays may think the graphics sux and all...but back then 20 years ago, this was once considered the coolest series next to G1...and yea, im 29 now..reminiscing back the old days...

  • @supersaiyansai Sadly, yes.

  • isn't this the first episode of generation one?

  • @jlward you've got to be kidding me; apparently, you don't know much about the original G1 episodes. All of those episodes, including this rehashed version of G1, had Peter Cullen as Optimus. Get your facts straight.

  • they had to mess with a good thing...

  • Oh man this is the generation I remember in terms of the Original Transformers. I feel five years old again... But at the came time this is making me feel incredibly old.

  • you want to see worse Reversion? watch Mighty morphin power rangers V2

  • it looks like a cheap ps2 game

  • why when they are in robot form, do the resemble the cars as if they where on earth?

  • @nitemite simple its a old 1985 cartoon they didnt do ANY THINK ABOUT STUFF ABOUT THAT

  • "Hang on to your crankshaft."

    Ha ha.

  • did anyone notice how there was parts of the movie in the flash backs at the first?... but if this was after then starscream would already be dead and megatron would have been galvatron..

  • Here's my theory on what the storyline of the Generation 2 cartoon actually is:

    Optimus is having the new Autobots from Generation 2 watch the Cybernet Space Cube recordings as a sort of history lesson on the Great War. You know, learning from the past.

  • @Ferom79 nope

  • it's giving me a fucking headache!!

  • lol this is funny

  • this is stupid!

  • reminds me of Mighty Morphin Power Ranger being revamped

  • @maxtergundam Yeah, but it was released a year BEFORE Power Rangers.

  • its g1 you butthead!!!

  • ok whats the diffrence between g1 and g2 i dont get it

  • those dumb autobots thing they can destroy megatron there more dumer than grimlock

  • not a bad remake somethings are a little different but still good

  • This isnt g2...

  • @mikeyschangy yes it is. G2 was just G1 reruns, live with it.

  • @KilamajaroKen

    not a rerun but more like a 'special edition' that was presented as a 'new' show. its one of those bad Hasbro attempts to earn a buck by spending very little.

    pity the G2 comic was very cool

  • Favorite thing of G2 is at 3:48 to 3:52 though the G1 change is nostalgic. Everything else from G2 isn't.

  • the only thing i like is the way they changed the autobot/decepticon scene change

  • Why Change a good thing and turn it into this

  • how many episodes are in g2

  • @weirdyvids

    about 50. (from the original 98, its said the movie may have ended up like this as well)

  • G1 ROCKS =D G2 SUCKS x(

  • Comment removed

  • I still dont get y they just showed the old episodes,kinda dumb if u ask me....

  • WTF.......  This is worse then TF RID.

  • wat does g1 and g2 mean?

  • @hammertime646 Generation 1/Generation 2

  • isnt this still considered g1

  • the voice ruined it

  • 1:15 - Unicron. 2:44 - Sunstorm.

  • this just makes me wanna watch the original episodes. i mean this butfucked the series out of this dimension.

  • they are doing a "G2" thing to dragonball z atm

    grrrr

  • This is G2? It's the same as G1. Why did thy add all of these computer graphic transitions? It doesn't make the series any more extreme, it just makes it annoying to watch.

  • watf distorted special effects and weird screen resizes?! Even a kid could make better transitions in powerpoint. Whose epic fking idea was this G2 crap anyway? They just raped G1!!

  • obviously u guys dont realize this is the very first episode of the G1 series

  • Transformers, more than meets the eye.

    Transitions, filler in disguise!

  • how in the hell can u call this generation 2,its the same g1 episodes just done differently.if u think abt it g2 r the episodes after transformers the movie.

  • yea they're doin this with Power Rangers now. Im glad I missed out on this Generation 2 bullsh*t.

  • Ahh yeah I remember seeing this when I was a kid and thinking "what is the point of all these gay fake computer screens?" Very annoying!

  • 3D transformers suck compared to generation 1 2D

  • the transitopns are WAAAAAAAY not needed

  • wow its the same thing just fucking retardeder

  • They overdid the transition effects! It's like a kid just starting to play with AfterEffects.

    On the other hand, they have at least patched an animation mistake around 8:05. The original G1 episode showed the same scene of Optimus Prime pointing to the breach twice. In this one, they just put an insert of Megatron saying "Attack, Attack!"

    Still, dumb idea!

  • So it's that remastered Power Rangers shit, but with Transformers? I don't get it.

  • this is really a POS remake. maybe it would be better if someone decide to use avatar's engine for a new transformers remake!

  • this is stupid.... i thought that g2 was continued from g2.. But who knew that this is g1 with some stupid graphic changes... bleh

  • this sucks

  • whats the difference between this and g1 other than the stupid computer graphics that interrupt everything

  • G1 Transformers is better.

  • @TFJoshua this is G1

  • and i HATE the fact that a legeon of AWESOME characters were killed for no real reason with the excuse of needing new appearances and they left that faggot Jazz to live for around four serieses....

  • g2 is horrilbe!!!

  • @dakvader10 this isnt g2

  • Comment removed

  • so G2 was a remake of G1 episodes. that was stupid of hasbro for doing that.

  • @VectorPrime2007 this aint g2

  • @GamesGoodMeBad

    Exactly! It's just like the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers 2010 remake. That has shitty remastered effects. It would've been better if a proper G2 cartoon with the new Transformers was in it, but we got this. Whatever happened to the Targetmasters, the Headmasters, the Powermasters, and the Action Masters? Hasbro being lazy about Transformers cartoons.

  • this was fail if they would have reaired g1 in the 90's it would have been a better idea

  • the cybernet space cube scene transitions get really annoying, but you would have had no choice if you wanted to watch any Transformers show in the early 90's, and were living in North America.

  • This is absolutely horrendous!

  • A case of form over substance.

    Generation 2 was really pointless, because it defeated the very reason why Hasbro cancelled G1 in the first place after the short-lived Season 4 (e.g. The Rebirth).

    Hasbro and Sunbow/Marvel should have worked on the Japanese TF G1 series (Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, Zone) instead rather than re-release G1 with these transitions and make it appear as G2.

  • lol early 90's 3d XD awesome

  • how many pointless & uneccesary scene transitions could there be in 1 episode?!

  • I think the Military "don't ask, don't tell" policy should apply here dude.

  • What hapened to target and head masters. Jeez, this just G1. Rip off. I thought this was continuing the last episode with the target and head masters!

  • METEOR SHOWER! METEOR SHOWER!

    i hate to admit this but- WTF?! THIS IS JUST G1 WITH STUPID SCENE CHANGES AND IDIOTIC PIC-IN-PIC THINGS!!! i thought it was going to be different with like better plots, different characters, and better animation. WHAT A RIP!!

  • that's all g 2 was FOR. A FUCKEN REEBOOT=RIPOFF.

  • @littlefreakhands G1 will always rule!!!!! forever!

  • @littlefreakhands Yeah, I saw this when I was in high school and I shit all over it. What a joke. Didn't even have Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime.

  • OKay the flashbacks are fail if they are showing the battle with UNICRON which took place AFTER they came to earth >_>;

  • G1 was WAY better then this

  • @ScreamerXremaercS this is G1...its the very first episode, they look odd, because they r in their natural transforming state, its not til they land on earth that they adapt their car n jet forms

  • @gstyleo1g i know this is the same as G1 but with all those added effects, G2 is shit compared to G1

  • Comment removed

  • @ScreamerXremaercS I actually grew up on this version. So I got used to it

  • @ScreamerXremaercS

    Uh, it's the same shit, n00b

  • @FooFooTheClown do i sound like i care?, to me G1 is different to G2, not by much but still different

  • @ScreamerXremaercS

    This is a Generation "one" cartoon with crappy CG transition motion graphics added. If you do not acknowledge this, you're a retard.

    No, wait, you're retarded as it is.

  • @ScreamerXremaercS Thanks caption obvious

  • @ScreamerXremaercS damn right

    

  • @ScreamerXremaercS

    o contratre This is the superoior rendition.

  • this is fake its g1 in alspark version

  • Well, G2 was just G1 repackaged with annoying scene changes, pointless picture in picture moments, and an absolutely terrible intro/outro. Long story short, just go watch G1 it's all the awesome with none of the gimmick.

  • its not fake..o.O

    its just crap

  • Christ, those transitions are fucking annoying.

    All I can say is good job there was no Windows Movie Maker back then!!! :D

  • I don't know if it's me or not but I don't care for this animation, the intro or the stories.

  • i remeber few episodes i dnt think they did more than 10, tho i didnt realise the did the pilot trilogy... but yeah was a real transparent ploy, which irritating to watch, even as a kid

  • lol, unnecessary transitions..

    and where's Victor Caroli?!

    im sticking with g1 xD

  • this is g1 :P

  • i remember watchin G2 before school started

  • Why does Megatron not kill Starscream? What a whiney loser.

  • In my opinion, G1 and the first part of the Unicron Trilogy (Armada) are the best.

  • I agree with Giga

  • Man, it's annoying when they use some "machine" between scenes.

  • u cant really say this is g2 its the same episodes just done alittle differently.the real g2 is after transformers the movie.

  • Is G2 a remade of G1 in 3-d?
