I miss the original TRANSFORMERS!!!

The only really good thing with more recent Transformers has been that they took on borader sweeping story arcs, something borrowed from the British comics I might add, the US ones only started the big ones when they poached Furman & co from us. So that was a nice touch at least, the padding every bloody episode with endless link ups was annoying though as were most of the human characters in the dub though.

Yes Voltron did transform but little to no imagination was put into the transforming bots or the pilots. I'd rather ThunderCats over Voltron but they are both still cool

Gobots? GOBOTS?! Sure there was the useless relatives that would buy it for your Christmas present and say "Here's that Transformer thing you wanted" but Gobots sucked more than anything. Even Minicons are better than those little pansy-bots.

Yes the gobot thing happened to me too...
I hated those things,they didn't even transform--they just folded.
I gotta agree with mon capitan I really miss the turtles too.
I was a freshman in highschool and my dad was making fun of me for collecting ninja turtle action figures,I'm still scarred from that one.
I really miss my original turtle figures,damn you dcemu you bring too much emotion.
The 90's were really awesome...
I'm gonna try and find some DVD's to buy localy,I don't have a credit card.

ha gobots sucked, sadly i never got to catch any of the old transformers but i did see every episode of beastwars and if the story line wus as good as that one then ill be glad to give the originals a try.

G1 was awesome pibster,nice youtube link.I wonder if that's what goldbug will be like in the movie?

**pibs** · November 10th, 2006, 08:34

i hear they aren't using a bug cuz vw didn't give them permission ><

**NoQuarter** · November 10th, 2006, 09:49

What?
That's awefully stupid of VW,the publicity from that would've been great.

Yup BumbleBee (they arent using his later form form all the material floating around) is a camero I think it is in the new film, somthin to do with associating VW bugs with violence, ironic considering Hitler had a large part in the making of the bug.
