Honestly, who would have predicted that lines this would last, and that there'd be SUCH an active and rabid fan-base craving this material.
These were ads. They were done to sell a given product at a given time.
Who'd have known that approaching 30 years later, the line would be bigger than ever, and be so much more than a boys toy line with a few years of shelf life before moving on to the next fad?
We're lucky, in a way, to have what we do have, even if it's not in the best condition.
The front cover of G1 #1 said #1 in a four-issue limited series - and the front cover of the final issue of G1#80 IN A FOUR ISSUE LIMITED SERIES
I remember getting all sad and choked up when that issue came out... and as tragic as it was to see the G1 comics ending, it was also pretty cool for them to remind us that it was initially intended to be a brief four-issue comic to promote the toys, but popularity had allowed it to survive up to 80 issues (or 332 issues in the UK). And of course, 20 years after the comic series was axed, fans petitioned IDW to allow Furman to write #81 which comes out next year. Can't wait!

I realise there is perhaps no difinitive answer to this question, but how tall are G1 bots in robot mode? Prime, Megs, Razorclaw, those kind of guys.
