Do you like where the Transformers franchise is heading?

Hey guys, so I just watched the reboot of the new Thundercats series and man am I impressed at what I saw - thought the show was fantastic! So much so that I watched it twice and can't wait for the new episodes to be released. I am very excited about this show.

I can't say the same with Transformers franchise - I have been disappointed with EVERY series after G1 except maybe Beast Wars and Beast Machines. Even the movies weren't good (looks-wise). When I thought about it, it occurred to me that I only went to see the movies because they bore the name "Transformers" and I can't say that I feel excited about Transformers if it weren't for the G1 reissues and the classicsverse releases of the toys.

With regards to TF:Prime again I find myself 'only' watching it because it's Transformers but if I'm honest, the show is bad.

I suspect that I am part of the minority and that there are probably others that like all the other series and movies. I also know that a brand new fanbase has been created with the release of the movies who would disagree with me about the old G1 series being better.

I just can't help but feel disappointed and only wish there was a reboot of a cartoon series that stays close to the G1 cartoon. I find myself trying to get a G1 kick from comics but its not the same as a TV series. I wish Transformers can excite me as much as this new Thundercats series.

What do you think?

While I've liked most of whats come since G1 I have been dissapointed in the movies. While they were good they didn't really feel like transformers to me.

I am dissapointed by the short life the toys series have. By the time they grow on me and I get the fever they dissappear off the shelves.

Maybe the Transformers #81 comics might be the G1 type of content you're after? But if you never read the G1 comics at the same time you were watching the cartoon, it might not be G1 cartoon-y enough for you.

I don't care much for the Prime series, but I know that in another year or two and a new series will start.

I'm all for the movie stuff, generations, Prime etc. G1 stuff these days are sooo brick like these days. I have all the G1 TV episodes and a G1 Soundwave and they are enough! The future of TFs is exciting!

AUTOBOTS........Reboot and modernize!!!

Animated was a breath of fresh air at least.

Transformers = 'Optimus Prime Vs Megatron', rinse, repeat... don't forget to buy the toys.
