G1, for all intents and purposes, was the first series. After that, the cartoon just became so bad it was unwatchable most of the time. Five Faces of Darkness was good, but the stupid lines given to the Quintessons really prevented this story arc from being great. To be honest, season 3 wasn't so bad, but season 1 was the high point of G1.

 

"Season 4" should had been a DVD bonus feature.

I love that bit where they skid across the ground.

I have to agree with most of this post....... IMO if you watch Season 1 and TF:TM you've got all the G1 you need. As much as I love Dark Awakening, it would require the inclusion of FFoD which was mostly lame.

stupid question for a five-page thread, but what exactly happened in rebirth?

Galvatron summons all of the Decepticons to attack Autobot city on Earth. They steal the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber (on Cybertron)...

Long story short. A bunch of transformers get stranded on the Planet Nebulos and become Headmasters and Targetmasters. Fortress Maximus and Spike show up on Cybertron at the last minute to foil Galvatron's plan to decimate Cybertron and harness the energy. a new Golden age of Cybertron ensues.

 

As the defeated Decepticons float throufh space (inside Scorponok):

 

Galvatron: "We'll invade other planets, we'll suck them dry and then we will build a war world ten thousand times more powerful than Cybertron and then I will rule the galaxy!"

Zarak: "Who will rule the galaxy?"

Galvatron: "Me, it is my destiny!"

Zarak: "We shall see Galvatron. We shall see..."

 

and we never get to see since there are no more episodes of the Transformers.

well that's kind of the point... the Decepticons are in permanent exile from Cybertron and the Autobots win.

 

Which makes the whole "Predacon" thing odd because where did they come from, if all the Decepticons were gone?

 

:D

Dark Awakening is one of my least favorite episodes. Optimus Prime should stayed dead, and if all it takes to bring the Transformers back to life is a Quintesson tech, then death in the Transformers mythos really have no meaning and that the Autobot leaders really don't have to merge with the Matrix. Five Faces of Darkness, I have to say, is a great story because it was the first time where the origin of the Transformers were explored in depth, plus it gives a peek into what had happened to the efforts of Autobots' and humans' cooperation.

 

The fact that it was also a link to the G.I. Joe mythos (Marissa Fairbourne), albeit subtle, is a nice touch.

Good question. I suppose one could say that the 'cons that were in exile were just Galvatron's main strike force from "Rebirth", since there's no mention of any of those guys during the Beast Era.

i liked it ok its not perfect but is anything TF ever pefect?
