IMHO I still think Beast Wars is the best Transformers television series ever. While both series had rushed endings, Animated's second season wasn't as jaw-droppingly need-to-change-your-underwearily (and Emmy Award winningly) awesome as Beast Wars S2. And Season 1 of Beast Wars is still mostly enjoyable ('cept The Low Road, but everyone else likes it!) whereas remembering Animated Season 1 makes me wanna cry. As far as all TF series are concerned, I still hold Marvel Comics G1/G2 as the best ever (Furman FTW!).

Just my opinion.
