I managed Headmasters and didn't mind it as much although I do agree with the criticism as it is dull and some bits seem very uninspired. Felt as if the people making it weren't interested at all.

However as Paulbot, myself and others have said, Masterforce is a great series and much, much better than Headmasters although from people who only know G1 by the US cartoon, it may require some getting used to.
