Sources state that a total of seven animation studios were contracted or sub-contracted to rush this show into production.

The biggest problem with the Generation One cartoon was the inconsistent animation. So buckle up kiddies, here are FIVE reasons the original Transformers were not as great as you remember themРІР‚В¦ 1.

Were all the subsequent iterations worth all the heavy criticism? Good question! Nostalgia is a funny thing ladies and gentlemen it derails objectivity and I think it blinds us from some bitter truths, which I am about to lay bare to you today. With all this focus on a franchise that is over 30 years old, you have to wonder, just how great was Generation One.

If this image makes you angry consult a doctor. From Japanese cartoons imported during the Anime boom of the early 2000s, to Michael BayРІР‚в„ўs Hollywood blockbuster Transformer films, every time these new iterations were compared to the original Generation One series, and none could stand up to the original. This sort of reaction continued any time there was a new iteration of Transformers released to the public. Beast Machines went a step further with the whole РІР‚Сљrobots into animalsРІР‚Сњ thing that really irked fans (IРІР‚в„ўll talk about this another time). РІР‚СљYouРІР‚в„ўre not so bad after all.РІР‚СњР”В®verything was fine until Beast Machines came out. It was the annoying little brother who was finally allowed to play basketball with the big kids because it proved it could slam dunk. With the second season, the entire storyline being developed was derailed in favor of turning Beast Wars into a time travel story that tied into the original Transformers. Suddenly, fans were cautiously interested, because the Holy Grail of Generation One was evoked. That story featured one of the Predacons being possessed by the ghost of Starscream, one of the primary bad guys from the original Transformers. No matter what they did, it was not enough to appease fansРІР‚В¦ Until an episode of the cartoon titled РІР‚СљPossessionРІР‚Сњ came out. With each new episode, fans howled bloody murder about how their beloved franchise was being trampled under its feet. Through it all, nobody was really considering this new iteration of the franchise through an objective lens. Groups like the РІР‚СљBring Back Transformers FoundationРІР‚Сњ petitioned television networks and Hasbro to bring back the original Robots in Disguise. Never had there been so heated a debate since the Scopes Monkey Trial.

РІР‚СљTrukk Not MonkeyРІР‚Сњ memes started up as fans complained how the hero of the series turned into a gorilla instead of a big rig. The newsgroup (again, ask your parents) was a massive pool of fuming rhetoric. That was the case in 1996 fan sites on Geocities screamed with seething outrage. As great as fandoms can be, they can also be a pretty toxic place, particularly when something happens that changes the status quo of a beloved childhood memory. Some 20 years later, everyone looks back at the Beast Wars fondly, but let me tell you something: In 1996 everyone hated it. This new toyline was followed by an (eventually) popular CGI cartoon produced by Mainframe Entertainment. РІР‚СљFrom deep under the skin, lurks the robot within!РІР‚Сњ boomed the announcer asР’В children played with this new line of Transformers toys.Р’В The Beast Wars had begun, and it was a game changer for the Transformers franchise. Both turn into robots and begin fighting. It was all done in CGI and featured a bat flying across a jungle when itРІР‚в„ўs suddenly attacked by an alligator.

I remember watching TV on a Saturday morning and a toy commercial came on. I even won a Wikia Qwizards contest about that very subject, so I think I know a thing or two about the subject. Back in those days, when teenaged me was not doing teenaged things on the internet (ask your parents), I dailed up to the internet to reconnect with my childhood. The internet was a very different place back then, but fandoms were always there from the start. Fun fact everybody: IРІР‚в„ўve been on the internet since 1995.
