If by "best" you mean "boring, then yeah.

Well, okay, it gets more interesting by the time Liokaiser is finally filler, but the majority of it is padded filler in which almost nothing significant happens, and many of the characters are wooden archetypes who are all almost as formal and uptight at TF: Prime Optimus.

Star Saber himself literally has the personality of a cardboard cut out (since, well, he is one. A cardboard cut-out leader-type, that is).

Ginrai is the only Japanese Autobot commander who ever had any legitimate depth and/or developmental growth. Not to mention hot-blooded awesomeness.

You sure you're not talking about Masterforce? Because that's boring
The entire story is weird, how can kids survive their back breaking and their bones twisted
The villans are laughable.
Also, I'm surprised christian tf's arent complaining over the Super-God part....

If by "Boring" you mean "rich in storytelling with compelling action, lively colorful characters, intense plots, wondrous enchantment and mysticism, and full of lore and excellence", then yup!

Because they don't have any? Once they're in their Suit Modes, their bodies were biologically altered into Super Robot Lifeforms with no traces of any organic components (aside from their heads, which still resembled those of carbon-based lifeforms).

Well, Blood, Gilmer, and Dauros did get some great bits of comedy as the series went on.

The word they're saying is "Choujin", which only means "Super-God". And, the Japanese aren't talking about the Judeo-Christian God anyway, since Pure Land Buddhism is the main religion over there. Plus, it's not like the show is explicitly preaching against Christianity or the like. It still holds the same morals of good triumphing over evil and such, and is a rarity in TF cartoons in which a good chunk of the Cons gain redemption in the end.

Not to mention how it's a 28-year-old Japanese cartoon that's barely had any official release in Western markets, appealing only to a very niche market, so it's not like it's anything relatively mainstream enough to catch the eye of the church to raise arms against it. It ain't like Pokemon, whose condemnation only lasted a short while and eventually died down and faded into obscurity as that franchise's popularity increased.

There are numerous religious aspects in plenty of children's cartoons anyway. It's not like any shred traces of that automatically make a show blacklisted. It's only when the show is big enough and presents religious denominations in a negative fashion. Masterforce hasn't had nearly as wide of an appeal to be even remotely noticed by such groups, nor does it focus on painting them in bad lighting. It's just another obscure anime in a niche corner of just another fandom.

Christian TF's? I'm pretty sure Cybertronians only believe in 2 gods. Primus and Unicron. And both have been proven to exist. In the TF universe that is.

Just for fun.

Why?

Also, the OP needs a correction. The ninja combiner is NOT a Decepticon.

The plot for Go! is as follows: As an intended sequel to the Beast Hunters story, the Autobots succeeded in sealing away Dragotron (Predaking) with the help of an artifact called a "Legendisk". Now, Team Prime has left Earth to oppose the various Predacons running loose across the galaxy. However, some Preds still remain on Earth, and hunting them down has been tasked to six new Autobots (the two new combiner trios), who are three samurai and three ninjas.

Whether or not this will actually match what happens in the Prime Beast Hunters cartoon, however, remains to be seen.

Where did you find that information..?

So, both combiners are Autobots? Interesting.

And with a story like that, I certainly wouldn't mind Hasbro putting these guys in a new show. Just as long as they they don't touch the anime.

Also, as for why they look like Braves, someone at Takara probably said "Hey, remember our other line of transforming robots? Let's make more of those but put them in a Transformers line"

And Va'al, how did you get into Unicron's colon?

If people complained about all media that use Judeo-Christian symbolism and mythologies, we'd pretty much have to give up on the entertainment industry, especially anime.

The whole of Evangelion would collapse like a flan in a cupboard (cit), for example.

Thanks to Hydra of the Allspark boards, we have details of the plot for the Transformers Go! straight-to-DVD supplement anime. This rectifies the previous speculation that the two combiner figures were one of each faction, stating that all six characters are in fact combining Autobots.

The magazine spread for Go! said that Optimus and co. had sealed Predaking away inside the Earth using the artfact known as the "Legendisk,"
and left Earth to hunt down other Predacons who had spread throughout the galaxy. They entrusted the duty of hunting down the scattering of Predacons still on Earth to a team of six Autobots...

In that sense, it takes place after BH, but whether it will link up smoothly is anyone's guess.

Double blast.

Again,I'm getting the 80s Japanese Continuity/Brave Series vibe from this show. Not as awesome as Takara actually re-newing the Brave Franchise but still awesome nonetheless.

Now why am I getting the same vibe I got when I read about Predacons Rising?

So virtually they're the Japanese equivalent of the Rescue Bots, but instead of protecting humans from natural disasters (and Morocco), they are protecting humans by hunting the remaining Predacons on Earth?

The way you make it sound,it seems simple but it works.

Eh, I'm gonna go ahead and keep pretending Japanese Transformer TV shows don't exist

Isn't it strange for Takara to be announcing a Beast Hunters sequel when the series isn't even halfway through? Takara not loving where Hasbro is taking things??? Whatever the reason, experience tells me I won't be loving this.

I guess this would be a good sequel, wish Hasbro would bring it over. But this looks better than RB!

poopy re-imaging of RID. Yup, i'll be skippin this one.
