That's one of the reasons why I prefer the Japanese Headmasters over the American ones. In Japan, there are no Nebulan partners. The smaller head dudes are just human-sized transformers who control lifeless bodies by attaching to them as their heads. Though, this process is developed through some intensive physical and mental training that unlocks a tremendous hidden power within each Headmaster.Eclipsica wrote:I hated the headmasters. The whole idea seemed creepy to me.

The U.S. show had the Headmasters treated pretty much the same way as the Marvel comics. Japan created their own cartoon that treated them differently.Eclipsica wrote:I only know about the headmasters from the comic books. By the time the show came out in the US, I had no cable TV access anymore.

I can't believe NO ONE mentioned this...this... ABOMINATION!!!! I like Animated, but I just wished that Swindle killed her along with those other crappy villians.

Worst cartoon characters? Gregory Swofford and Professor Morgan, who should have been executed or at least locked in jail for life for their crimes.
Fortress Rodimus, if you love the G1 Bumblebee portrayal so much you can't stand the others even Animated (despite him being a complex and developed character and not actually as kiddy as you'd first believe and channeling Rattrap to boot), marry it.
You act like this is the first different Wheeljack. Have you forgotten this guy so easily?DJ1107 wrote:well I have another character to add to the list. That being Prime incarnation of Wheeljack or as I like to call him loser in Wheeljack color. I mean my god can Prime continue horrify me to my core on how many times they make everything suck about this show You made a Autobot well known for being the mad scientist of all 1st wave Autobots the creator of the Dinobots and the guy who cheated death in Dreamwave continuity into a loner wannabe with swords. Next you be telling me Jazz is white, Sludge has average intelligence, Hounds a blood-crazed psycho, Swindles a straight buyer Skywarp doesn't push people down stairs, Mirage is an actual traitor, and Warpath doesn't have torrettes

Well, what about this guy? He was supposed to be the Unicron Trilogy's real Wheeljack, but couldn't be due to the name already being used for the above guy in the dub (he was still "Wheeljack" in Super Link, though).DJ1107 wrote:yeah he don't count due to the unicron trilogy being a mess to start with. That plus he was my first "Wheeljack"

What does seeing G1 Wheeljack before Prime Wheeljack matter? They're aren't the same guy. Giving him a completely new non-scientist personality and background was an act of being unique, original, and creative.DJ1107 wrote:I really can't complain about him because of the fact I've never seen him. I watch all of 5 to 9 episodes of Energon before I stopped not that I hated it no I blame Cartoon network schedule run by monkeys. I think the reason why I hate Prime Wheeljack is simply because Hub spoiled me with G1 BEFORE Prime evered aired I'd write a reviw of my thoughts on Prime at a whole but I question if people will think of me as GEEWUN or troll because I hate it

I mean, just how many more carbon copy characters do we really need in this franchise? Becuase Prime Optimus is almost exactly move Movie Optimus, he is so boring. It's like how Animated made Optimus this young, inexperienced, person who was sudden thrust into a position of leadership and had to grow into the role and undergo genuine character development. Almost every other Optimus is already "Mr. Perfect Leader" that thye aren't as interesting as characters.
