    They should never show that show again. It is is evil. It is the worst show ever (not encluding pokemon). It should die. Oh yeah and who ever made it should be burned and then brought back to life and then stoned to death repeat if needed.

    I take it your only exposure is to the new shows.

    Well the original was good. Clearly it wasnt a *mature* show, but it wasnt kiddified with sugary sweetness.

    But Beast Wars was *great*.

    So, really, if you want GOOD TF, go for the original, and Beast Wars.

    Beast Wars especially.
    Note: It might be called Beasties depending on where you live.

    Beast Wars actually played sort of something like an anime. Good guys get massive upgrades, then bad guys do...and such. Plus, it does a marvelous job of filling in that couple million years that Optimus Prime was sleepin' in a volcano. Beast Wars also played more to the adult, I think. Well, no...the more mature younger audience. That's better. I mean, you had wierd love triangles, only a few characters so you don't all of a sudden miss characters...and lots of differing personalities. In the original TF, many didn't actually even talk. LOL.

    And yeah, the new TF's are trying to be some sort of rip of the "japanimation" phase. Notice I only use "japanimation" because the quality is bad and almost plastic looking, EVERY SINGLE attack has a call sign...etc. It's like a REALLY LONG parody of that one Simpsons blurb where you see them watching anime in that one cartoon festival.

    I have to say that the new transformer show, presumably you're talking about 'armada' is quite appalling, the storyline is totally inferior to the original transformers series in which I have to say is still by far one of the best cartoon series up to date. The armada series has hardly any transformers and those annoying kids are there to screw up the story because they always need to be saved. And whats up with those gay minicons, they're an absolute disgrace.

    Hey Inuyasha_iscool you should watch the original transformers and believe me it's a worth while series and the moive of it which is pretty impressive as well. The drawings may be old but it's way better than armada :)

    In times of crappy Transformers, Im glad I have the new comics in physical form, and every one of the original TF comics on CD-ROM (except for the TF/GI JOE crossover...).

    True, the comics, early on, had just as many stupid things... like in issue 3, Spiderman is there, and he actually saves one of the Autobots from falling with his webs. Spiderman is sooooooo damn strong! But the reason those bizarre things happened is because they didnt think the comic would last, so it was a combo of two things
    1) A way to boost sales.
    2) Some fun the writers were having.
    Eventually the line caught on and the stories got much better.

    yeah I hear that Japan had an animated Beast Wars movie. Imagine a Japanese animated series of Beast Wars. I like a little bit of RID and I haven't seen Armada yet, It probably sucks anyway

    Havent seen Armada so I cant comment. Everything I've heard so far though is bad.
    The original Transformers is superb. Yes it was like a 30 minute advertisement in some ways but it's a great cartoon too.
    tbh I see it through rose tinted glasses because I used to love it when it first came out and since I've started getting the dvds it's just a lot of nostalga(sp?).
    Anyway check out the original stuff and stay away from Generation 2 :( .

    I have to repeat this, coz I've seen more of transformers: Armada.

    IT SUCKS. IT SUCKS, IT SUCKS SOOOOOOO BAD. WATCH IT ONCE AND EVER WATCH IT AGAIN. IT IS GAYYYYY

    What a waste of a good opputunity to make transformers 'relight its long forgotton 22 minutes' (changed from light our darkest hour)

    Transformers G1 still rules.

    That's a very immature attitude. But I must agree that Armada sucks. Read the comics and buy the toys instead. The comics by Dreamwave have some of the best art I've ever seen.

    Yes, and the storyline was primo material as well.

    Actually if you can still find them, the original comics rocked. I have nearly all of them on cd... I think the only one Im missing is the Transformers/GI Joe crossover.

    Are you willing to make any copies of your cd's of the original TF comic???
    That would be a really cool collection to get.

    Excuse me but it's really immature to use the word "gay" as a put-down. Although I do admit that Transformers cartoons were better off when they were animated in North America. But it's really thick-headed to use the word "gay" when you want to make fun of something.

    Ok...I've made my point so let's just get on with the topic in the forums. No need to make a hassle of things for just that one comment I 'misused'
