1. I love the 1986 G1 Movie, but just like most Transformer Fans Killing Optimus Prime was a big mistake and is one of the most saddest things in the history of the franchise, Hasbro and Takara Tomy realised that Killing off Optimus Prime was indeed the biggest mistake they ever made a realised that it was him that kept the franchise going, so that’s why they revived him in The 2 Parted Episode The Return of Optimus Prime.

2.The G1 Cartoon is awesome and I love the designs to all the characters in the show (I loved the cartoon designs so much that I Started buying and collecting The Masterpiece Figures).

3.I first got into Transformers When I was a child by Watching Transformers Armada (aka Pokéformers) when Cartoon Network used to run Toonami.
