It also helped that most of the season 3 / movie toys were based on their animation models
Most of the main autobot cast annoyed me in series 3. Rodimus, Kup, Grimlock who seemed even more of a dimwit - except when he made the technobots, that was something. But only Ultra Magnus still annoys me to this day - in fact I am going to sell my only remaining Magnus (myclone not counted) in my 2014 sales thread

Oh I voted era of the toy - G1 as my primary motivation.
