It was 25 years ago and they arent repeated an awful lot on TV (here at least).

I'm so glad I got that Chinese box set, it's in English and boasts all 97 episodes plus the movie. At about 2hrs every other day of watching, I barely finished the whole thing.

Yeah it takes you longer than 2hrs a day to get through... Especially on season 2...

Didn't really like season 2, and some episodes were just, ugh...

Not as urrrrgggggh as season 3 though.

That too, but Season 3 was real short, so it was alright.

Thats a bit close to "Oh I dont mind that I was anally raped...At least the rape was short." for my liking. 😛

Haha, but wait! Wasn't "Call to thee Primitives" I think is what that episode was called, in season 3?

I did'nt mind Season 3 i liked alot more then what they got up in Season 2.

I guess I have real soft soft spot for post movie (seasons 3 & 4)transformers. Probably because most of my toys were from that era:

Galvatron
Cyclonus with target master
Ultramagnus
Rodimus prime
Wreckgar
Powemaster Optimus prime

Has anyone notice with prime in G1 when he transforms into his truck form his trailer just appears out of no where and then when he goes back to robot form just magically disappears

One of the original series writers - Flint Dille - apparently commented on that on the commentary track for TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE. They joked Prime's trailer was made of 'invisiblanion' or something like that 😆 which is why it always disappeared when he changed to robot form (so how come it always showed up wherever he was when he changed back?)

That's why I thought Ultra Magnus, who got released two years later, was a superior toy. Because his truck form combined with his trailer to make a bigger robot - maybe that's what Optimus should have done from the start. Wasn't until Powermaster Optimus Prime in 1988, that he had that ability.

Optimus Prime's trailer disappearing has been a running joke about him for ages.

Hahaha, I remember a few years ago, I was on this TF site where people were commenting about G1, and this dude calling himself the Autobot Emo made a statement that read: "I wish I could go where Optimus Prime's trailer goes at times..." in all seriousness. I laughed. Hard.

That's awesome.

Im not saying that it didnt have some gems...
Just the most aliens and stuff they started sticking in, and getting away from the earth thing, they ran too far from home in more ways than one.

Yeah, I agree, totally. It was hard to enjoy. I remember that episode about the hunt for Ultra Magnus' birthday, I was like: "They could be doing a million other kick ass things right now..."

I just wanted Cyclonus to kill everyone and everything involved in that episode. Its like the "Spock's Brain" episode for TFs.

Cyclonus was pretty cool, for a Galvy b*tch, not as much as Scourge though. He even made a cameo on TF's: Animated, he kicked as he did.

Well Skywarp was really cool also, and he was a Megatron b*tch...
(Maybe that transferred as he was shown being rebuilt into if not Cyclonus, then one of his Sweep clones.)

Yeah, what was up with that? Did Skywarp turn into Cyclonus and Thundercracker to Scourge? I've always thought that since they shared colors. Skywarp/Cyclonus - Purple Thundercracker/Scourge - Blue. I'm not sure of that's true though. I haven't seen the animated film in months.

Yeah I think it was shown that Skywarp and one of the Insecticons are shown being rebuilt into Cyclonus and a clone.

Skywarp was in the background I think.

I prefer to believe its Skywarp, both for reasons of being loyal to Megatron such as he was, the familiarity with seeker/sweep like activities, even the colour scheme looks Skywarpish. (and also for my own reason of Skywarp being my first Decepticon as a kid.. 😛 )
