I thought about grabbing Netflix again to watch this but I just can't get into MOTU. I was nuts about it as a little kid and had a huge collection of toys until I first saw (G1) Optimus Prime. Then it was all over for MOTU and I was truly nuts for Transformers. This has never truly left me, although after series 3, I did move onto M.A.S.K as a focus, purely because you could no longer get the Transformers I loved in store (Season 1 and 2 toys).

However, I still longed for more of these toys while collecting other toy lines and as I grew out of toys and into girls instead . The Gold box release were amazing for me at the time, I wish I purchased more back then, in particular Wheeljack. I'm sure my parents were like, what is he buying toys for?

The same thing happened with the cartoon. I longed to see every Transformers episode from Season 1 and 2 and ended up spending way too much to purchase US versions of the full DVD box sets in my early 20s (which ended up being released here for cheap anyway). I still enjoy watching these shows, whereas with MOTU, M.A.S.K and TMNT, I can't watch them. Transformers of this time period seems to have a little bit of something the others don't.
