Random Rants: Transformers Crack

[sapphirebreeze]

You know, I have, of late, heard a lot of commentary on how "cracky" the G1 Transformers cartoon was compared with, say, RiD or Armada. And you know, between episodes where the Transformers were toy sized compared with the locals, to mermaids, to random time travel devices sitting out in the open in the middle of Europe, yeah, G1 gets pretty cracky

Daniel got with Sixshot, Arcee AND Wheelie. What a slut.

See, to my mind, that's not G1. Why? Because the Headmasters series as shown in the United States is a completely different storyline than the one shown in Japan, and any and all later shows were made for and shown only in Japan.

In fact, one thing every "cute kid converts evil Decepticon" story has in common is that they were all made with a primarily Japanese audience in mind.

Of course, other people may still count that as G1, but since I'm talking about my crack, I'll also talk about my G1. ;)

It's still G1. It's just that it's the American G1.

Though from what I understand about Headmasters and Masterforce, it's still a superior show to RiD and all.

To repeat:

Of course, other people may still count that as G1, but since I'm talking about my crack, I'll also talk about my G1.

Extra emphasis added. ;)
