I think every series has it's merit either in the show or the toyline at some point. Every series has something great about it and therefore should be liked by someone.

 

And I've still never met a G1-Purist as they are called...and I still don't know anyone who doesn't like atleast some aspect of the other series in some way.

the first series, the sequal to the first series, the animals, the mechanimals,um.. the other one with cars, the first series reborn, the sequal to the first series reborn, uh.. the end of the trilogy of the first series reborn

 

there, already got new versions of all of them :thumb

hahahahaha.

 

well, they HAD names when they came out. It wasnt reconed onto them, in the mid/late nineties, thanks to the power of the INTERNET.

You're giving me a headache.

im just trying to bring a little peace to all of this

oh your cool. Im not heated in any way.

while my viewpoint i have had about the name retconed onto the series WAY after the fact, and its total overuse...

 

all my posts here, are made with a smile, and a smartass heart.

i started out being too serious, that is why i went off the wall with the whole renaming all the TF series thing, to try and lighten the mood a little

I understand that geewun wasn't that great in animation and that they are just bricks. But back then they were the greatest thing out there and they were. Imagine 20 years from now when they will say Energon toys were bricks and the cartoon had lousy animation. Everything gets better as time passes.

As an "Original series" transformer fan, the things I disliked about The original series transformers are nitpicky things. Name calling like "Decepticreep" and "Megabum", always made me cringe. Some stories like, "The girl who loved Powerglide", and other way-out-there episodes. It was also sickining to see a lazer blast hit with a baseball bat(Transport to oblivion). Season three characters such as Blurr and Wheelie made the show sickining beyond belief. Another little nitpick is that some toys never made it to the show, although "The original series" suffered the least from this, it seemed like a waste to create toys like Overdrive, Camshaft, and Downshift. Anywho, just little things to me, miscolouring and animation errors never bothered me so, there we have it.

 

 

 

 

 

This post could have been shorter had I used the "G1" title, but it beat the hell outta typing, "Fight, super robot lifeform, fight" or whatever Xbob calls it.

I agree. There were some really gay(silly) things that happened in the G1 universe. But those things shouldn`t make G1 any less valid as a whole. Sometimes we as people need to overlook the little things so that we can enjoy them that much more.

 

We really shouldn`t over-analyze things like cartoons or comics too much also. Takes the fun out of it, and for others too. JMO :)
