G1 all the way, baby. optimus, megs, soundwave, ultra magnus......rodimus was a puss, but hey, it's still better than armada. quite possibly the worst cartoon i've seen in a long time. just terrible. my 4 year old likes it, though.

Gary Chalk (Armada Optimus) did the voice for Beast Wars Optimus Primal. I'm glad he's involved. Same with David Kaye and BW/Arm Megatrons.
It would be nice to get Peter Cullen back, but gotta remember, the kiddies now watching the show aren't gonna remember anything before BW.

Original Transformers filled me with a sense of wonder and awe (especially the Moive, and the ep "Call of the Primitives")
Beast Wars filled me with nostalgia and instilled a sense of wonder in me, and at times made me feel like a kid again. "Code of Hero," the ep where Dinobot sacrificed himself to save proto-humanity, filled me with a sort of vicarious feeling of honor and pride.
Beast Machines filled me with rage at how "PC" it had become (Maximals had no weapons, and were trying to "bring the Organic back to Cybertron" -- WTF?!). Still, there was 1 character I could root wholeheartedly for (Megatron, yeeesss....), and one I could cheer on (Tankorr/Rhinox).
Transformers: Robots in Disguise was a light-hearted romp that rarely took itself seriously. While certainly not my fave, if nothing else was on I knew I could watch it and get a chuckle.
Transformers: Aramada, though... never did I think I could feel APATHY towards a TF-related show. I don't know which is worse, the similarities between it and "Pokemon," the piss-poor animation, or the gods-awful dialogue (and the constant repitition of the main storyline). Thus far the only saving grace of that show is Gary Chalk (doing the voice of Armada Optimus Prime; he also did BW/BM Optimus Primal) and David Kaye (doing the voice of Armada Megatron; he was also BW/BM Megatron). Also, Scott McNeil (he did Rattrap, Dinobot, Silverbolt, and Waspinator on BW/BM) is supposed to be coming on later in the season, but I doubt even his voice talents can salvage the show.

whew! I'm glad I saw this thread. I first saw something about transformers:Armada in a record (multimedia) store ... the cover of the comic looked great ... the price seemed outrageous (I have transformer comics that cost $.50!! ... maybe it was .75 though).
if the new cartoon is that bad, I'm glad I don't get cartoon network
