I remember watching it as a kid and getting one of the Hamburger Transformer from Hungry Jacks...but I didn't get really interested into the series until Armada, and when that series sorta died on Cartoon Network, so did my interest. That was until last year when I heard about the movie That sparked my interest all over again, then I began watching G1, learning all the names and toy etc etc and so I started buying the toys - even though I must admit, I brought my Classics Starscream sometime between last year and Armada So yeah my interest never died ^^

And I'll shut now...I am just rambling xD

BTW: Beast Wars and Beast Machines didn't do anything for me...I remember watching that...I hate it now.
