Rolling Out for 25 Years

Hello, all. For the next two weeks, we're going to be showcasing everyone's favorite robots in disguise in honor of both the new movie and (more to the point) the 25th anniversary of Transformers. All the columns are taking on various aspects of TF lore and every day I'll be treating you to one segment of Rolling out for 25 Years, by 30,000+ word retrospective on the Transformers brand leading up to the release of Revenge of the Fallen in 2 short weeks.

Today: G1 (of course).

Sweet!!! Downloading the G1 series as I type this!!

Funny, I remember the show being better 25 years ago... Foo.

Oh, it is NOT good. Don't get me wrong, there are some gems, but the whole series is wrought with all sorts of technical glitches and just generally weird shit. Today's 6-Pack spotlights some real gems in the series (for me, at least).

gotta love a film that had the balls to kill off main characters within the first twenty odd minutes
