Awesome advertising campaign - even though couldn't afford the toys.

The best transformers experience on screen (big or small)!

More than meets the eye! I absolutely love the original Transformers series. Creative and engaging, it tells a great story. A classic show!

As a kid, I loved it. Now, if it wasn’t for nostalgia, it wouldn’t be watchable. The animation is detailed, but rough.

Absolute childhood classic. One of the greatest.

The best transformers cartoon ever. Nothing compares. Classic.

Some of the best use of music in a cartoon series, even to this day. Great voice acting, unique characters, and awesome designs.

Our side of nostalgia I see no reason to watch this. The plots are nonsense and the characters forgettable. Just kind of boring.

It’s an old cartoon made to sell toys. What do you expect?

Iconic! The start of a beloved franchise. Geared towards kids but fun for all ages nonetheless. Full of quick 1-liners & fun
