[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 1739685, member: 4049"] Indeed. After [i]Transformers: The Movie[/i] scarred me for life (THEY. KILLED. PRIME!), the franchise went down hill and [i]never[/i] recovered. One of the cool things about the Transformers was that a kid could imagine that the car beside them could transform into a robot, or that the construction vehicles would combine to form... DEVASTATOR! That impact was lost with [i]Transformers: Beast Wars[/i] because, not only did the Transformer turn into essentially biological creatures, they didn't coexist with human beings, losing their impact (not to mention that the transformations were on par with the Gobots... Essentially, flip the head back, twist the body around, and flip the feet and that's the extent of the transformation... They also had crappy names. Wasn't one called Cheetor and another called Dinobot... Pathetic). I won't get into the nonsense that is [i]Transformer: Armada[/i]. Although I loved the original series back in the 80s, I found that I actually enjoyed the new series a great deal more. The animation is far smoother (they don't use the same frames repeatedly), the voice acting is broader, the action is better, and the stories are generally linked. There's a greater degree of maturity and myth in the recent series. However, perhaps others didn't agree as I don't think I've seen any indication of the series return (it looked like they were steadily moving to finally bringing in Hordak). [/QUOTE]
