Only if Cartoon Network complies, since they're the reason any possibilities of season 3 on DVD are in limbo.korisifu wrote:Come on Animated!

Not challenging you whatsoever, but can you tell us why? I just like hearing about the cool elements of G1 that are often shrouded by the whacked out stuff.
And you're right, theres a lot of neat stuff in G1 that is executed surprisingly well.

I'm hgeading to bed in a few minutes, I'll do this briefly and in more detail tomorrow, but...
1. Although we do see humans rescued, there's a lot of scenes where there's no way in hell humans didn't die en masse.
2. Continuity, especially in season one, is a lot tighter than the stereotype.
3. The human/Autobot interaction is so much better than in almost any other series.
4. Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Chip and Marissa are some of the best humans in the franchise, IMHO. They're useful outside of 'human perspective into the series'.
5. There are times where the Great War and its impact upon their race and culture is just plain sad, and truly given gravitas.
More tomorrow.

Burn:Anyone notice how much of a boring party pooper N_V is? He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam.

I just started watching season 1. Can anyone tell me who Hauler is? I must have forgotten about this? Is it or is it not Grapple? Is Grapple an official Ark Autobot?
