The writing and voice acting were spot on and the humans didn't make me want to destroy a skyscraper.

It is the only Transformers series that has ever pulled me into that "just... one...more... episode" state for multiple (5 plus episodes) without resorting to cliffhangers or two-part episodes.

Wow I didn't realise there were so few episodes. It was as short lived series indeed!
I would second this.

This is the only TF series I would show to my friends. I love the animation style. I love the voice acting (and that Spongebob is Starscream).

One of the greatest things that they did was make Optimus Prime a drop out and not the head honcho. Sure Opimus Primal wasn't really the big boss either, but he was still in the system and still an Officer.
Optimus Prime was not just a nobody, but he was kicked out of the army and is just in charge of a repair crew. It means he has to earn back the respect he had lost, creating some good character development.

I also love all the little nods to things outside the TF universe. Sentinal Prime had some design changes after the voice actor was assigned and happened to be the same voice actor who played the Tick. Bam. Sentinal Prime becomes very Tick-like.

The original takes on old characters is brilliant. I love the multiple personality Blitzwing. And Bulkhead. God I love Bulkhead. My favourite quote for him is "Sorry, my bad"

Ok.....I'll stop gushing now. I may or may love this series to bits........
