Good video, I have not much clue about TF's back in the day but I can relate to how you feel about G1 because I see My Little Pony in terms of G1, G2, G3 etc..
Hey Pred, you've said pretty much everything I was going to say in my reply to Kalel :). I particularly agree on the point that the original gen 1 cartoon doesn't stand up qualititively when you watch it now; I think the principal difference is how the status of toy collecting has changed. You have to bear in mind that when TFs originally came out, they were kids toys; not collector's items or anything to that effect, and the same goes for the cartoon; it was made for kids and it did its job...
..., now of course, because TFs have such an established and varied fan base, any material that's produced is going to be much more closely scrutinised and criticised; it must effectively do what Beast Wars, Beast Machines and Animated do quite effectively; appeal to both the younger and older fans, which is a tricky thing to balance.
I personally love Beast Wars and Animated better. But all of the installments have their ups and downs. I don't get why the GeeWunners think G1 is so perfect when it has more plot holes and contiuity errors than any other series :/
Great vid bro! There is something for everybody in all of the series of Transformers. I used to be only G1 but I am very glad I expanded to love Beast Wars and Animated too.
Yeah when I was a kid I thought Beast Wars was an abomination and believed G1 to be the only cartoon worth watching. Luckily I grew up and broadened my horizons. I eventually want to own Beast Wars on dvd and as I've given up on owning the "Unicron Trilogy" so I'll check them out on here instead
I seem to be an odd ball. I didn't grow up with G1, caught an episode or two but that was it, same with BW. Saw some of RiD, but didn't get into it, again, just skipped. Saw th movie, loved it but my interest stopped there. Then saw Armada, and the rest is history. BUT, I think G1 was miles ahead of its time. Animation, compare it to its competitors of the day. I always take it in context, and in context it's a damn good show...I'll save the rest for my RE vid
Yeah I'll never be able to understand how a Transformer fan can say they only like G1. It may not be the same as what you grew up with but the later series still provide plenty of entertainment and fantastic moments to savour
I swear these days its too close to call on which is my fav. In terms of toy its still G1 but Animated is right on its tail. As for the cartoon its neck and neck and I think you'd have to force me in some way to actually make a choice which is first place in my heart
Hope it gets sorted soon mate

Not to mention the animation errors. Watch the first episode and count the amount of errors. I love G1 but its by no means perfect

The Transformers was so crap and cheesy that it has 80's written all over it :D

And as kids we lapped it up for all it was worth. Much like the A- Team really
