I rank US season two over season one. Those were the episodes I saw most as a kid and have the most fondness for. Possibly helps that season two has a lot more episodes. It definitely helps that the cast in season two is a mix of the whole 1985 toy range (still my favourite range of characters ever).

I'd also score Season two higher for it's great multiple part episodes. Season one's Ultimate Doom is not very good, but season two gives us "Dinobot Island", "Megatron's Master Plan", "Desertion of the Dinobots", and "Key to Vector Sigma" - all great two parters, as well as the unofficial two parter Combaticon episodes.

Masterforce is terrific, but if I could have only one series, Season 2 would beat it out so I've placed it second.

I only saw season 4 when I was older (high school) and I have little interest in it. These days I find season 3 pretty much unwatchable (even an episode like Call of that people rave about) but I enjoyed it as a kid.

Headmasters tricks you by looking more like a western cartoon (unlike the more traditional Anime style in Masterforce). And when it starts it looks like the proper Season 4 I wanted to see. But then the music starts and it's all 'wrong'. It looks like G1US animation but doesn't sound right. Then the sound effects are wrong, the voices from characters you know are wrong (and foreign). I just couldn't get through more than a few episodes.

Zone comes in last as I've seen none of it.
