The Transformers (1984–1987)
6/10
goo d for the sake of nostalgia

transformers g1 is the first incarnation of the transformers in television history, and the beloved show of all fans, if you ask someone what is the best transformers show, they say g1, and that's it, no hesitation whats so ever, but is it really that good?, can some one watch it right now and admit that it is awesome?, the answer to that is unfortunately no, yup, you just read that, no. transformers g1 benefits from its 80's era where many of the TV shows where a 20 minute advertisement for their toy lines: GI Joe a real American hero, teenage mutant ninja turtles and many others, fans love g1 because they remember holding that optimus prime action figure while watching that episode where he kicks the decepticons butts which is really what happens in almost every episode, characters come in and die just like that for the sake of selling toys, there are so many characters and i mean so many, you get like 20 of theme in just the first episode( you can count them), i do find certain guilty pleasure watching this, and there are some good episodes here and there, but the transformers is far, so far from being perfect, it has a good animation and some good stories but so many were wasted. it is better than so many incarnations but definitely does not match transformers series such as beast wars, animated, or transformers prime, and this is where the problem kicks in, people bash all the other transformers iterations as they are not as good as g1, but the problem is they will never be pleased as g1 is the first, g1 is the cartoon they grew up with, period, they even bash transformers prime as is not as good as g1, really?, really?, yeah. i know that this review is gonna get some hate, but from an objective point you all know what im talking about, go watch a random episode from g1, animated, prime and beast wars and tell me which one is the best and which one is the weakest, i kinda feel sorry for Hasbro for trying to please the transformers fandom throughout the years and god most of them are unbelievable children dressed in a 40 year-old body.
