So between the G1 cartoon, G1 US comics and G1 UK comics, which do you think have withstood the test of time the best? I dunno about you, but when I go back and watch the G1 cartoons, they feel really campy and often goofy to me. There are a few good episodes here and there (I like most of the episodes written by David Wise), but overall the series feels quite camp to me. The US comics not so bad - IMO Budiansky was the best writer in G1 in terms of making the Transformers feel other-worldly... I agree that Furman does make them too human at times. But there are a lot of other moments in Budiansky's writing that makes me cringe (like Optimus Prime & the floppy disk!). Overall I prefer Furman over Budiansky though. So between those three, I would personally rate the UK comics as the best overall.
