With a mullet like that who wouldn't be cool?

Is this a legit intro? It looks like a mash of ads and clips :S

mightyant: yes, it's legit. This is the notoriously lame 5th US series of G1. The reason why nobody ever talks about it is that it essentially offers NOTHING new. It was 15 episodes from G1 seasons 1, 3 and 4 as well as Transformers The Movie broken up into 5 eps making it a total of 20 eps for this so-called "season." Slap on a so-called "new" intro (it sounds the same as the Season 4 intro mixed with footage from commercials), add a puppet and kid... um... yeah...

They actually went through a fair bit of effort to recreate Prime. Much of the ground looks to be a set with real dirt and rocks brought in and the neck/shoulder 'platform' as well as the head are real (as in not CGI) and so is the hand which Tommy uses to seat on when he is being lowered down.

Yeah - they should definitely get these guys on board when they make a live-action Transformers movie.

...

Pardon? They already made one? Two? Really? Sorry, I have this condition where my mind represses anything it finds too scarring. Still, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Dreamwave do with the Transformers licence. And has anyone heard when they're bringing out Transformers: Armada? It should be awesome!

The guy who is challenging Pat Lee's creative position in the history of the franchise and is just as honest too.

i vote they develop series 5 of G1 as their new series :D
they've already got all the characters who were released as toys but not on screen for more than a heartbeat

They should have... I actually find G1 season 5 a little less cringe-worthy than the Bay movies.

Season 5 was awful though. What they should have done was to have Tommy running from explosions (with no apparent source) some more, and they would have had a winning formula... What's that ? Oh... right.

Yeap looks like classic 60's Dr Who level effects using state of the art advanced cardboard like materials.

I had forgoten there was a series 5 though.

Better get started repressing it now.

Repress, repress, repress,repress,repress,repress,repress,repress,re press,repress,repress,repress,repress,repress,repr ess,repress.

On the upside I feel better about ROTF and AHM now, ....they could have been worse! They could have been season 5. :D
