I grew up on th eoriginal Cartoon and the Animated Movie. I never had any exposure to the comics untill the last few years so My understanding of G1 is heavily based on the animated show and toys that were released in Australia.

It is gradually expanding though as I leanr more of the old comics and Japanese animation.

I also am very partial to a classics treatment of characters like lockdown, Bulkhead and others that have only come into existence in the fiction in recent times.
