yup it was... I just wish theyd re do those stories but with todays art and drawing, that would be so awesome....the Tfs had character development back then, nowadays its get in as much Tfs in the pics for fanboy thingie but with nothing happening much to the story.... Those were the times when you REALLY cant wait for the next issue to come out to see what happens ... not this drivel cliffhanger IDW tries to do but fails miserably... their idea now of a cliffhanger is basically cut to the middle of what is about to happen.. see next issue...in the back of your mind, "But nothing yet has happened!!1 What do you mean the story is over for this issue?!?"

Which is why a lot of people ( well oldies hehehe like me) got really excited when Generations Thunderwing got issued ( and was announced last Botcon) because basically the G1 figure sucks - there I admit it , BUT Furman made these characters oh so BAAAAAAD - Thunderwing, Bludgeon, Scorponok and full of character and life....
