    I love the g1 series it is my favorite and th eonly sereis i watched. the first season is the best with all those 16 episodes they were all good it was serious the only negative thing i have to say is it is a little cheesy. the 2nd season with 49 episodes was a good season not as good as 1st and not as serious and it got out of hand with some ridiculous episodes and it was a mess just because all these characters they kept introducing and with not much story behind them on how they got there. seaosn 3 was somewhat of a screw up but i liked it. It had its up and downs. rodimus compaling and galvatron going somewhat insane was a little bit of a downfall but having optimus not there for 90% of the seaosn hurt the series and lack of the older characters but I loved the five faces of darkness episodes it was a good mini series. I enjoyed thief in the night, the starscreams ghost, ghost in the machine , dark awakening, the ultimate weapon, grimlocks new brain, call of the primitives and the return of optimus prime episodes were good as it brought the season to a good end and they had alright episodes like fight or flee and the quintesson journa and they had their bad episodes liek canrage in c minor and the face of the nijika and have episodes with rodimus complaining such as the burden hardest to bear. I do not really want to get into the 4th season but i still love the the original transformers though.

    Yeah, while people are certainly entitled to their opinions, there's certainly a way to communicate them more intelligibly as well as providing more arguable reasons for disliking something.

    I have arrived.

    You know what the worse things about G1 are?

    1) All the knock off series that G1 spawned.

    2) All the G1 haters that post threads almost 30yrs. later hating on an almost 30yr. old cartoon.

    3) The fact that the G1 cartoon was sooo good it can never be replicated.

    I'm surprised the OP hasn't made a single decent rebuttal.

    Funny how you say you're a G1 fan and think the original TFTM was crap even though your cited reason for disliking TFTM ("it's just one big toy commercial") is EXACTLY what the G1 cartoon is.

    To be fair, every show, good or bad, has some crappy episodes.

    I love B:TAS, but "I've got a Batman in my basement" makes me want to punch babies.

    I grew up watching G1 Transformers AND Poser-bots.

    Poser-bots are Gobots, right?

    See, the lack of Gobots has made the fandom turn on it's self. We were united (no, not really) when we had other, non-TF robots, to trash.

    And hate for Predacons makes no sense, since we had them and Predaking in G1, not to mention so many other TFs with beast alt-modes.

    Poser-bots are Beast Wars, A/E/C, RiD, Bayformers, Animated and even Prime.
    While each of these Knock Off series have something good about them, they're not as good as the G1 cartoon. IMO.

    I did a wiring job for Joe Bacal in Nov. 2010, we sat around and talked about the show for an hour... Orson Welles impressions and the whole nine. I don't know of many people that have such fond memories of a job that ended 25+ years ago. I feel that these constant re-boots disrespect the source material. I don't care if Hasbro owns Transformers, they're messing with my favorite childhood heroes. They are too different. When DC re-boots Batman they don't turn him into a damn dirty Ape.

    1984forever, you do realize that Beast Wars and G1 take place in the same timeline, right?

    I know... but it just stinks so bad. I watched the entire series on Netflix. My wife flashed me this look like "you can't be serious"...

    Why would you watch the COMPLETE Beast Wars cartoon if it stunk so bad? I'd think one would have common sense to stop watching after a certain point if it didn't get your interest.
