I am... going to simply agree to disagree with you on that.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Back in the Marvel days, someone posted in Transmissions aboout a little human development. BBudiansky shot that down almost immediately with a curt reponse. Iirc, it was in TF 26 or TF 27.
It was always about the 'bots. That or he was showing signs of TF burnout!

G1 is the best because it gave us the gestalts Devastator, Bruticus, Menasor, Superion, Defensor, Predaking, Abominus and Computron as well as super-robots Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Metroplex, and Trypticon.

One thing that got the Gobots going waaaaay ahead of TF was their having fembots on the fly in their 1st season. Crasher, Smallfoot and Pathfinder. Snoop iirc was also female.
TF had Nightbird (earth made)

G1 gave us everything actually. But that don't mean it's the best.

The best humans were in Animated, I mean Prof Sumdac, Sary and goddamn Captain Fanzone. Those were really good, oh and Angry Archer was hilarious.

Really actually I think Dutch from DOTM was the best human. I could do with a movie around this guy. With or without Transformers is okay.

Hands down, Masterforce and Rescue Bots have some of the best human characters ever.

Was G1 Omega Supreme as big as Iron Mike Tyson in the 80's. Who do you think would win in a fight. I think a fight between Omega and Predaking would be like Tyson vs Spinks. Omega is like Tyson in that he beat his opponent by sheer intimidation and punching power.
