In my opinion its essential viewing :)

You'll start to notice all sorts of nods to G1 in the current series and games, once you've watched the history of Transformers that is G1

I was lucky enough to be an excited 5 year old when it first aired in 1984, and now I own the DVD's and still watch them, as does the wife :)
Til all are one!

:lol: I totally agree.

To me, the third season has some of the WORST animation i've ever seen in any cartoon but Carnage in C-minor is the biggest turd of them all. TERRIBLE storyline and horrendous animation. And was it really necessary to have the aliens sing every fraking thing that comes out of their mouths!!?? really?.....BRUTAL....i'm getting angry just thinking about this episode.

They really dropped the ball in quality during season three. I think they transferred all their talented animaters onto GI Joe.

Definitely watch G1!

Nostalgia insists I watch these through rose coloured glasses but for someone just starting I would just advise that you keep an open mind and try not to get distracted by the animation errors and some of the weaker episodes. You have nothing to lose and when its all over you can jump on the forums and bash Michael Bay :lol:

In fact, when I watch these now I actually enjoy spotting the animation errors like a miniature Bruticus casually standing with everyone or (while we are on the topic of Carnage in C minor) a resurrected and fully fit Brawn!

Enjoy it .

You must see the original, or no one will take you seriously as a fan... ;)

But B.O.T is MUUUCH worse that C-Minor, imo.

Weapon: Battle Blades
I know I'm jumping in this late but I have to say I find to understand a lot of the other series that followed you need to watch G1 series. Really it is a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon in the respect it took a movie for them to kill off some of the Transformers and when it went tot he headmasters tehy did in a bunch just in the first episodes. It is definitly something for any Transformers fan and with the SHOUT factory set out it makes it easy.
