Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[GoktimusPrime]

"Generation One" was originally a fan term used to describe all Transformers that came before "Generation 2" and that's basically what I suppose most fans would classify as the "original G1" (so not including reissues, retro-G1 etc.).

The original series of pre-G2 Transformers ran from 1984-1993, so yes, a total of 9 years. The 1993 G1 Transformers were later repackaged as G2 Transformers and so those toys are sometimes referred to by fans as "G1.5" but that term's never been used in an official capacity. Officially those toys are either G1 or G2 depending on which packaging they came in (which is impossible to tell if you get them loose w/o card or box, hence why fans created the G1.5 category).

who is prowl? i honestly dont know whom this guy is, he reminds me of the guy with no personailty off ratrace lol

oh and

Q2
optimals, are there moer than just optimus primal and megatron?

[roller]

in the G1 cartoon you could say that, as he never has any substantial air time

In the G1 Marvel comics he was sort of a control freak who loved rules

his toys are cool though

he is driven by logic according to his Tech spec

as for your second question

there is an R.I.D version of Optimal optimus, i guess he would be from the RID future, but i cant remember if he is actually Bw optimus dimension hopping/official retcon

Two minutes twenty. Immature adult themes.

(No, I have no idea which line Bartrim was talking about .)

No. The closest would be Car Robot Black Convoy (RiD Scourge) who has a trailer/base (repaint of G2 Laser Optimus Prime) - although the character was never named "Nemesis Prime" it's effectively the same character concept (i.e.: evil Prime clone). In fact, it was the first. A lot fans (including myself) felt that the name "Scourge" didn't suit the character since it wasn't representative of the character of being a Prime yet evil. So Hasbro later came up with the name "Nemesis Prime" which they used on later "evil" black repaints of Prime (and one repaint of Big Convoy).
