Doesn't nessisarily have to BE the same story line, just the same time line.
And that being said Transformers is all the same basic story line. A war between Autobots/Maximals and Decepticons/Predacons/Vehicons.

I did start with G1 but then I completly forgot about it. Beast Wars reintroduced me to the Transformers after G1 was abruptly ended at the start of Headmasters in the US.
However non of this has anything to do with what you described. I just belive weather I started with G1, RID, or even Cybertron all shows should actully follow the series that started the franchise.
Hell I started watching Star Trek with my dad as a kid and by that time TNG was the current running series and TOS was nothing but reruns if it was shown at all. I prefer watching TNG and DS9 but it still bugs the hell out of me that they didn't really follow TOS verry well. (Mostly in the case of the Klingons looking different)
I don't even like the original series Star Trek because of how utterly fake it looks having grown up in a generation that has WAY better special effects and makup but I'd rather have the Klingons of today looking like they did back then rather than just say "this is how they were ment to look we just didn't have the capibility to pull it off at the time."

I'd like to say, there are only 2 groups of people that I absolutly hate...
Critics, because they get paid to tell people their own OPINIONS and alot of people actully listen to them.
And censors, because they do a job that I hate anyway and they do it badly.
First off my belife is cuss words don't exsist and the words used to substitute aren't really any better than just saying the word. They both have the same meaning anyway so it doesn't make any sence that one is bad and the other is OK.
The only time I really belive language is foul is when you're useing it to insult another person. In this case even a little kid calling someone a "do do head" could be foul. At the same time I'm not going to care if I hear a kid saying "I gotta poop" but useing another word that means the same thing.
That aside, any job someone does they should do right or not at all.
Example: TV showing of X-Men (first movie) Wolverine's line calling Cyclopse a "D!25" got changed to "You're a dork" and yet some how in the same showing Cyclopse's line calling Mystique a "B!824" got through.
If it was going to be censored at all both lines should have been changed not just the one. Either censor everything or don't do it at all.
And if you'll notice even though I myself don't belive thoughs words should be censored I did it anyway out of respect for other people's belifes.
