I see that, so let me try to explain further. Transformers as a franchise has existed for (going on) 37 years now.
When I use the term "The Transformers", I am referring to the Original series from 84-91.
If I want to talk about any other era- G2, Beast Wars, Armada etc... I'll use that prefix. But YES they are ALL Transformers.
I just use "The Transformers" in lieu of "G1" because I personally find that term to be lazy, and I find "Geewun" to be offensive and hurtful, it is like a curse word to me, so I'll never use it, except in this case to explain why I don't use it. I'd actually appreciate it if others refrained as well, but I understand I cannot dictate how others write and feel.
