"Importance" is entirely subjective because it completely depends on our own personal values and opinions - for which we all differ.Originally Posted by jimoinj
Furthermore the primary product of Transformers is not the cartoon. It's also not the comics either. Transformers is first and foremost a toy franchise. The toys came first, then came the comics, then came the cartoon -- so really, we have:
+ Primary product: Transformer toys from Hasbro
+ Secondary product: Transformer comics from Marvel
+ Tertiary product: Transformers cartoon from Sunbow
Where Rumble is red and Frenzy is blue!
I'm not trying to start a FIRRIB/RIRFIB debate here... just sayin' is all.

I grew up watching and loving the G1 cartoons. To me personally, the cartoons are really what G1 is all about. I havent read a single g1 comic and i probably never will
Having said that, I completely agree with all of what Gok has been saying in regards to what is canon and what is not. What you choose to follow or favor is your own business. But you can't just ignore the other official stories. Without going back and "quoting" what people have said in this thread, I think I read before that someone (jimoinj?) didn't like the way The Headmasters was dubbed and therefore found it inferior and didn't believe it belonged in the G1 continuity. But if you look at it backwards, japanese fans could look at the rebirth, not like the way it was dubbed coz it was in english and completely disregard it as being canon -- which in jimoinj's opinion, is the way the g1 story should follow.
However, despite me being a G1 cartoon fan and still agreeing with most (if not all) of what gok has said...
RIBFIR will always be the case for me :P (and again, like gok...not wanting to start another debate...just sayin) hehe
(again, sorry if i misquoted people -- feel free to correct me if i quoted people or phrases wrongly)
