Some parents had fits. Some kids NEVER came back to the series after The Movie. It was dead to them after that... I knew because they were my classmates in school.

It's fine that so many people love the new series. That's great. They aren't all my cup of tea, but Beast Wars and Animated have some strong points, and carry on the torch for new generations of young fans. But to bash G1... I wonder if any of the G1 bashers are older than twenty-something? Because if you lived through that time period, if you are in your mid-to-late thirties and approaching forties... G1 was cutting edge, dark, amazing, and deeply inspiring. I'm an adult collector today because of G1. If it was up to Armada or one of that era of cartoons/toys, I probably wouldn't be one today.


Yes, Yes and Yes. :APPLAUSE:

I was young, but when Prime died, I cried. Real tears. It was unthinkable. :sad:

With all of this cutting edge animation and modern storytelling I'm shocked that TFA is the best they could come up with! :lol:
