Bodycount you never cease to amaze me. Your comments about G1 and its fans are as mindless as you are. Your precious Energon cartoon series is a laugher in the truest sence of the word. The only thing Energon has going for it are the toys and the comic series and thats about it. Compare Energon Prime to MP Prime. Thats like comparing ice cream to horse manure Energon Prime dont even come close. So before you start slamming G1 and those that love the toys and charachters think before you open your trap because frankly some people on this board are getting tired of your ranting and constant negative posts. Remeber this as well Bodycount it was G1 that started this whole thing we call TF, or have you forgotton that?

Nostalgia is not a factor and does not increase the value of a product. Anyone who clings to nostalgia is just being blind and foolish, no matter what subject it relates to. I don't care if its your lifestyle, past events, or even Transformers. That's a pathetic way to judge the value of something in your life: By what it means to you now that it's already gone.

EDIT: I removed my immature comments, and I would like to apologize to Bodycount. I shouldn't be flaming anyone. It was dumb and I regret it.

You can post a thousand topics like this, and then a thousand more, and G1 still won't measure up to today's standards. Everything that Superlink/Energon is, G1 will never be, or never reach.

*SNIP!*

Bodycount, your ingestion of items found under your sink needs to stop. Seriously, get over yourself and let those of us who enjoy G1 do so. I don't recall beating you with fanboyish abuse EVER, so in the future phrase what you say more carefully. Your bizarre paranoia about G1 doesn't make a whole lot of sense, considering the repaints you do and considering that about %99 of everything being released as TF today has strong ties to G1, particularly in Energon. No, ESPECIALLY in Energon.

For the record, Energon is crap. The comic is good, the toys are cool and damn better than Armada, but the show is just utter trash. G1 may not shine like a jewel (especially season three... ugh!), but that was what we had back then and it was like nothing else out there and there was a hell of a lot more character development (not to mention more characters) to work with. Sure, the stories were more than a little far fetched or outright silly and they kept falling back on stuff they seemingly pulled out of their asses after intense drug usage.

Energon is a piss poor dub of a show that can't escape G1 influence all over it. The CG is pretty sloppy, it looks neat for awhile, but since everyone is essentially a cel-shaded frame with a screen for a face, it gets old quick. Look at their mouths and expressions, not to mention their postures and movements. Last time I saw robots looking that awkward ALL THE TIME, I was examining Gobots that didn't pose or transform well after being flung nine stories from a rooftop. I watch anime religiously, there's no excuse for what this show is besides incompetence. I like the toyline a lot, but the show is just utter crap and amounts to an aesthetically superior Armada and little more.

The only shows to date that were really worth their salt were Beast Wars and Beast Machines. I don't care how odd BM was, it has DEEP character development and despite it splitting the fandom into camps I have yet to see anything better to come out since.

Beast Wars is the hardest one to top, everything about it was brilliant from the voice acting to the direction to the concept itself. The concept took a bit to get used to, but there's nothing in the franchise that can come close and BW only had to draw on a few key points mostly found in the movie as opposed to Armada/Energon which boil down to extremely long elseworld-esque interpretations of the movie and season three of G1.

 

Your... "take" on nostalgia brings all sorts of things into question! Planet of birth, grasp of the word "nostalgia", where the hell you got this fanatical hatred of the root that spawned that which you love. Why does it seem like such a burden on you that I can get G1 Stepper, Sideswipe and Astrotrain or I get my G1 DVDs? It's like loathing the RX-78 Gundam and the original Gundam series, yet obsessing over something like Gundam Wing and then all but crying yourself to sleep because there's vast quantities of swag and merchandise aimed at the original Gundam fans and less for Wing. That'd be you being a minority in the collector's market, get used to it. Considering TF has has had.... oh... 20 years to grow old and brick-like, there's been a void for those of us who want it back and the secondary market isn't seeing to our needs, if Has/Tak will then you've no right to complain. That being the case, who the hell do you think you are to tell us how we should feel about that which we hold dear?!? I honestly can't handle this inflammatory nonsense you parade around. This should be loooong out of your system by now. You're as bad as the G1 fanboys you so passionately detest, you're painting with a broad brush and lashing out at anything G1 related which is the kind of logic that is going to collapse in on itself like a flan in a cupboard considering your attachment to the current main line and its apparent attachment to the original line.

 

Please, stop with the frothing anti-G1 crap. I'm a pretty moderate fella, but I don't hesitate to tell guys screaming "It's not G1" where to shove it. You've become as bad, if not worse. It's time to chill out and cease this inflammatory absurdity. It's one thing to express an opinion, but it's another thing entirely to salt the majority of the fandom and the franchise with uncalled for slander.

Amen brother, Amen! :pfx

The only thing people can really say negatively about the toys was that they weren't possible.

Why do we own them, them?

No, I just don't care..period.

And come on G1 fans, attack me...do your worst.

I'm completely bored and need a little entertainment.

 

And for the record, I prefer Superlink over Energon, something most of you don't watch because you're stuck in 95 with your 56k dial-up.

 

And Tek, you're a friend of mine, so you need to cram it.

The Ford T started this whole Ford company thing, but that doesn't mean it will always be superior to today's Ford vehicles. That's called "progress".
