A journey through the JP Gen1 cartoon.

- Hot Rod becomes Rodimus again, and seems to be a big deal as if it is the first time.

Remember, there are all kinds of continuity problems relating to the movie since these cartoons aired before the movie came out in Japan!

I thought the movie would have been out by then. But even if it hadn't, they had like 40 post-movie episodes before this one, with Rodimus Prime as the leader the whole time. After a year of him as leader, he was only back to Hot Rod for probably a couple weeks, so shouldn't have been a big deal being Rodimus again.
(and with the Dark Awakening story, he's been converted to Rodimus 3 times now)

I tried to watch it...i dont think i got half way through headmasters...just couldnt bare to go through it all...didnt like it much at all!

The movie was delayed till 1989, and even Season 3 episodes were aired in a different order creating more continuity problems, according to TFWiki.

You're right of course about Rodimus regardless, i guess what i suggest overall is just enjoying the flashing colours and appearances of characters more than the attention to detail in the stories!

Forget how easily Blaster and Soundwave were rebuilt, I can't believe how easily they were KILLED!! They have one hell of a punching arm apparently. Or maybe they both have one super-weak-dim-mak-death-point on their bodies, and by absolute fluke they managed to hit each other in those exact spots at the same time with sufficient force to shatter each other. What amazing coincidence. (-_-)

Aw man, you're gonna be in for a lot more "That's bullspit!" moments as you go through this series. But I still think that The Headmasters is 1000 times better than The Rebirth. (although the later appearance of Prowl has since been explained via retcon.

And Trains that can fly across the universe??? Who comes up with this crazy s...stuff?

This dude Hey... everyone seemed to accept a flying shark in Car Robot/RiD.

I found Headmasters a bit of chore to watch but forced myself to do it. I think it does get better in the end but I'd rather watch rebirth.

Oh and if you think Wheelie and Daniel were annoying in the US cartoon wait to until you see them in this.

Not much else I can say except Arcee go get me a coffee and take a memo!

I'm onto the last disc of Masterforce ATM and apart from Cancer I am enjoying this show and the characters alot more.

Headmasters is my least favorite of the Tf series. I found myself at the middle part of the series just skipping thru some of the episodes as it is boring!

Kinda spoiler comment.....
They shouldve left Daniel to rot in that planet, I mean what could spike do to them anyhow? They can just make a new baby - one less irritating....

I have to agree that Headmasters was the weakest of the 3 series of G1 that Japan released.
And while it does have some fantastic stories from time to time, overall the series was pretty meh.

i have the dvds, but i've avoided watching them for a long time now, mainly because of the poor script and voice acting.

maybe i'll try watching them like everyone else is.
