What were you doing when Transformers came out?

[Sky Shadow]

My experience with g1 were the g2 re-runs in the early 90s..

I can still remember just how progressively disappointing the Transformers: Generation 2 cartoon was:

1 second: Squee!
2 seconds: Oh my god, amazing computer animation!
100 seconds: Oh - they're doing a summary of what happened in the old cartoon... that's nice for new viewers, and a good nod to the original series.
200 seconds: um... this is just the old cartoon.
300 seconds: what the #@(* is up with that stupid cube thing?
400 seconds: #@(* this, Transformers, you have disappointed me for the last time! I won't be back!
24 hours: Maybe the second episode will be more Generation 2ish?
24 hours and 400 seconds: #@(* this, Transformers, you have disappointed me for the last time! I won't be back!
48 hours: I wish I had willpower.
