My thoughts on Headmasters

Cyclonus and Scourge! They're like comic relief now! Pretty funny though.
Yes the english is crapola, and some of it doesn't match what was in the jap version. I'm on the 3rd disc atm and enjoying it. It's a heap more lighthearted than the original g1 stuff.

I tried watching the jap g1 animated series as soon as I found out about it on the boards, but man... can't stand it. Personally, you pretty much summed up the crappy points about it already, so no need to reiterate. US G1 for me man.

I found it interesting to see previously unanimated Transformers in action, but didn't find the series itself to be particularly good.
My kids lapped it up though.

I've started watching Super God Masterforce - seen only one episode so far (the first one) and it does not bode well.

I love the TV commercials and toy galleries in the extras, though.

Headmasters is more substantial than Rebirth, and while you enjoyed that, it's too short since it's little more than a toy ad. I like that Headmasters gives more time to some of the characters which Rebirth only briefly showed.

My main gripe with Headmasters is how peripheral the Trainbots are - they barely even talk, let alone contribute anything ):

I agree that the callouts get annoying - but at least Headmasters doesn't have the long Transformation sequences like Armada onwards.

Masterforce is probably the best written of the Japanese G1 cartoons (and possibly all the G1 cartoons, so if you can through Headmasters, I'd recommend going for another series (:
