G1 Transformers Season 5?

[Ravagecat]

So I was looking through the "The Matrix - Resource Guide" on this forum and discovered something I never new about :):o

A G1 Season 5 Cartoon series...I know its nothing new as far as new stories etc. and the animation and acting used is pretty crap but I though it might amuse other members they may not of known.

Season 5 (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_%28cartoon%29#Season_5) is like Generation 2 - it was just existing episodes with added bits... but in this instance it was live-action bits. (calling it Season 5 is not something I like as it isn't a season of new episodes, but this is the term used by the fandom)

The live action was done with a character called Tommy Kennedy (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tommy_Kennedy_%28G1%29), played by Jason Jensen, who was coincidentally a guest at this year's BotCon (last weekend).

He was the first live-action actor for Transformers... almost 20 years before the live action movies came out.

Yeah, calling it S5 leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I was never a fan of the G2 overlays they did back in the day either. Any chance you got a happy snap of Jason at Botcon to see what he looks like today?? (I did a quick google search but it looks like the name is popular)
