Hi all,

I just finish watching TF G1 (all 4 seasons+the movie), right now, i dont know which transformers im gonna watch next. I want to follow the whole story/movie orderly. So if you guys know, please reply here.

Thanks

If you want to watch it as a completest, you go watch the Japanese "Takara" series, Scramble City, Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory and Zone in that order.

But is you want the US story, you skip it and go straight to Beast Wars, as BW does semi-follow G1 (although it is more based on the Marvel comics) whereas the Japanese series broke off from the US story by that time.

If you haven't seen Beast Wars yet then you definitely should. It was without a doubt the pinnacle of Transformers television, with good writing AND CGI. (Even if the computer animation looks dated it's still fun to watch even today. But perhaps just the nostalgia talking, I'll let you be the judge.)

A lot of the cartoons, come in self contained "arcs" as opposed to any strict continuity, theoretically after G1, you could watch Armada without confusing yourself too much.

What the guys said above is spot on tho', personally i'd go for the Takara stuff first then BW.

Try to watch the 'toons in the chronological order in which they were produced they way you'll appreciate all the little nods that get thrown in to previous series.
