As anyone here knows, I legit loved Car Robots when it first came out in 2000 (before I even knew it would be translated as RiD in 2001).
I'm all for new ideas; absolutely 100% keep the brand fresh, keep a new generation interested. At the same time, as an older fan, I appreciate the appreciation we do get in the Generations line etc.
With that said, every time I ask for an animated series that is an honest-to-goodness continuation of the original animated series (whether set after rebirth, or in the 20 years between S2 and TF:TM, or even something before)...
The usual response is "G1 has been done to dEaTHHHH: Sighting Car Robots/Rid, Cyberverse, & Earthspark (among others) as mere G1 Reduxs. Now while I don't agree , nor do I enjoy the latter series as much as CR/Rid, I ask the fandom which is it?... cant be both.
Are these series original, or are they just G1 clones?
In conclusion though, I am very happy this Haslab has been successful, whatever the reasons. The original JRX (Railracer) and Build King/Landfill are still pretty solid, but if new versions were to be made, Haslab or standard Generations release, Id be all over them.
