Thoughts about G1 today

Basically what do you stand on the original Transformers show.

Is it your favorite

do you hate it

Where does it stand on your all time best TF show? For me its my favorite show but the first and third Bay movies are my all time favorite parts for Transformers.

For it's time, it was amazing, and it's still watchable and entertaining today, especially for younger audiences. Animation and storytelling in cartoons have advanced a lot since the mid-80s, but it still stands out as a classic of the era.

And for those of us who saw it during the original run, it'll probably always have a very special place in our memories.

Even as 7 year old I always thought that the cartoon was pants on head retarded and I could never finish a single episode of it.

The toys however I couldn't get enought of.

What he said.

Though there have been other shows since, G1 remains the iconic version of Transformers for me - when I think of a given character, I'll usually think of the G1 incarnation. It remains my favorite among all the shows, along with Prime and Beast Wars. Plus the toys that inspired it were simply awesome.

It was the best thing ever when I was young. Re-watching it now, though, it's not the greatest. But, I still love it. OP is exactly how I remember him.

It's pretty stupid but fun to watch like the old Adam West Batman.

This times a million! I'd kind of liken it to the Adam West Batman as Autovolt rightly pointed out, I'm currently watching that and I'm absolutely loving it! Meanwhile, at the Stately Wayne Manor......!

This. I also find it amazing how popular it was back then.

It's fun to watch every now and then.
Not my favorite. In fact, the majority of the shows are better
