Ah, yes, Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Chip, and Marissa. Who could forget Cardboard Jr., Cardboard Sr., Ms. Cardboard, Crippled Cardboard, and the one I had to google to remember?

Almost every G1 character fell flat, sadly. And with so much untapped potential. It's really sad. But hey, 80's cartoons amiryte?

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.

As you have admitted you haven't watched any post-Beast Machines cartoon, the above statement is invalid.

Too bad it was on the last cycle of G1. Just the magazine and a few manga............

G1 Optimus Prime and G1 Megatron was the greatest rivalry since Filmation He-man and Skeletor.

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 Omega Supreme one of the Crown Jewels of G1?

No and no.

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.
