    Nah, just numerous cartoons, comics, video games, and multi-million dollar films based on GEEWUN seem to make the "the only thing G1 fans don't have is a cartoon based on G1" comment a little ridiculous.

    Well, it's just that I was sure I'd seen someone mention a G1 cartoon around here somewhere. They made it in the 80s, I think.

    They made it over 20 years-ago. It's out on DVD. Go enjoy it now, because I don't think you'll be getting anymore G1 gold like Sea Change and The Girl Who Loved Powerglide any time soon.

    Then that's what you should have said, because with the rest of your post, the comment was utterly confusing.

    I sometimes forget how ugly my G1 Screamer actually was. I think only my fond memories embellish him.

    With everything that has been said, G1 fans have everything they could want and anything extra would just be icing on the cake.

    As another poster mentioned earlier, BW fans don't get Jack S&*^! We got 2 figures during the CHUG era... Cheetor sucked and Dinobot is awesome once you remove that Dino throat spring:thumbs2: 

    Don't get me wrong, I love G1 but I wish the original 3 seasons of characters could be retired for at least 5 years. Give Takara time to concentrate on our favorite Japanese characters. Can you imagine... a modern Overlord, Star Saber, Deszaras, Dinoking...... beautiful:drool: 


    Oh, and here is my addition to the photo battle:rock

    Awesome how the OP gets everyone worked up and then never responds to anyone's post!

    I am a G1 fan, and I have to say G1 gets allot of love lately. Then CHUG and Masterpiece lines are doing a great job providing a modern version of G1 inspired toys. Only thing missing in my book is a cartoon based on CHUG figures. While reworked articulated G1 molds would be cool, chances of that happening are slim to none. I have to say I've been more then happy with what we're getting on everything except on the combiner front, but I wont get into that again :)
