That was MTMTE's bread and butter.

 

Far from it, actually. Wheeljack and Arcee are going to be repacked every year for the rest of the decade.

 

maybe wheeljack and arcee should stop showing up in the subsequent live-action movies then

 

But how else are they going to sell Arcee and Wheeljack repacks year after year?

 

Never read the original SG material but thought the new mini was pretty fun.

 

Hey, at least we don’t have SG Arcee… yet.

 

Ohhhh…..

 

I still don't know who the Omnibots even are

 

Omnibot (G1) - Transformers Wiki

Literally the first link when you google Omnibots.

I watched it last year and I'd stand by that.

The Sunbow/Marvel writers were top talent. The voice acting was as good as it's ever been.

Most of the flaws are in the animation and/or the result of notes from Hasbro.

 

I keep getting their group name confused with the Omnicons from Energon.

 

If nothing else, the world building was insane for a kids show, even there were some inconsistencies.

 

They better be serious about the Omnibots. I've wanted new Omnibots for a long time. And I won't let any price increases stop me.

As far as the writing for Transformers G1 animation, I think at least in terms of writing, vocal performance, and dialogue it holds up a lot better than many of its other contemporaries of the era, especially S3 when things got a lot darker.

Now yes, the animation does look very dated and of its time, but the rest I find still very compelling.

I have watched all the shows recently, and I think G1 holds up better than Unicron Trilogy absolutely. The writing and vocal performances on Unicron Trilogy were often very clunky and stilted. They were not top-quality dubs or scripts, even if you had people like David Kaye and Gary Chalk back voicing Megatron and Optimus Prime again. It wasn't the same level of writing and direction that was on display with Beast Wars.

 

I don't mean to say it's a bad show per sea, esp for the time, however, I would definitely disagree with the implication that hasn't been topped in almost 40 years. Between Beast Wars, Animated, Prime and MTMTE.

 

Does anyone really?

 

Do they even know?

 

Raksha would be proud.

 

I think BW and Animated were well done too and Prime at a minimum started good.

The G1 cartoon was at its creative peak in S3.

 

I don't know that it hasn't been topped. I just think the writing and acting generally hold up well.
