    Not at all! I just don't have it on dvd. :p 

    *looks at the mountain of G1 episodes*
    You just want me to suffer! :p 

    No matter which series I do, I'm thinking I'm going to have to go back to my Energon format of doing 2 eps per review. Otherwise, it's going to take me forever. I think it could work for G1 and BW, since so many people know those series forwards and backwards. Maybe just a quick synopsis along with my own observations. We'll see.

    If I did wind up doing Cybertron, I think I'd have to do a comparison to Galaxy Force for each ep, since all the GF eps are supposed to be up on YouTube. The one thing I honestly can't stand about Energon and Cybertron (and maybe Armada, though I'm not as sure on that one) is their constant need to always have someone talking. It's like- learn to utilize silence, you morons!!! I know the demographic for these shows is little kids, but they do have attention spans! They won't run away from the TV if it's a little quiet for more than 5 seconds!!!

    One of the most powerful scenes (for me) was in "Crossing the Rubicon" when Blackarachnia dies. There's a full scale battle raging just outside the walls, the whole place is shaking from the hits. But when she dies, everything goes hauntingly quiet as Silverbolt makes his way over to her lifeless body. The shock and realization slowly hitting him. Gives me goosebumps every time.

    That's the power of silence. Just a shame that so few cartoons today seem to understand the concept.

    *ahem*

    Over at the Allspark this poll has sort of devolved into a battle of the babes. For some reason people seem to want to watch whichever series has the hottest hotties. Not my fault, but I didn't exactly help any by providing pictures. Hehe. Quoting!

    I see now this has come down to a battle of the babes. Right then, there's only one way to settle this.

    REPRESENTING TRANSFORMERS: CYBERTRON!!!

    I think G1 would work best with the quick synopsis and then your view on it. I'd say you could go through all the animation and continuity errors, but that would take longer then going through all the events of the actual episode.

    Cybertron. But only because it's coming out on DVD this month and some people might want to know if it's worth getting so the timing would be good. And then you still have the two best TF shows (G1 & BW) to look forward to afterward.

    So the board that is proud to win at drinking is actually having a more intellectual discussion of this topic than the board that styles itself as the most intellectual? I LOVE IT!!!! :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol

    Beast Wars wins. :D 

    It's 2-1 for BW. The Allspark and AUG both voted BW. TFW2005 was kind of mixed, but I think it was mostly G1 with BW coming in a close second. Now when I actually get this thing started is a different story. Ooh, I feel lazy still. ;) 

    *edit*

    Just counted the actual numbers.

    G1 - 13 votes (13 or 14)
    BW- 9 votes
    C- 3 votes

    On the Axalon Underground the numbers were:

    G1- 1
    BW- 7
    C- 2

    On the Allspark we had:

    G1- 7
    BW- 14
    C- 10 (a lot of love for Cybertron on the AS)
