...they actually credited me? W00t!


And it was certainly my favorite of the Japanese-exclusive G1 shows, which is strange, since it's the most Japanesey of them all (and I usually hate that sorta thing).

The villainous schemes can get a tad boring as they usually consist of the Decepticons attacking a location and getting beaten away, but the bee-yoo-tee-full animation keeps you from losing interest. The series finale is one of the strongest in any transformers show and the Breastforce (stop laughing) are one of the coolest subgroups there is.

The cast is relatively small, and save for the Multiforce, you get some pretty good individual personalities.

And Jan is surprisingly one of the LEAST annoying human sidekicks out of any Transformers show. Good for him!


Definately a cool set. And if you buy the thing, be sure to read the manual. My pal Chris McFeely put a lot of work into that!


EDIT: Oh yeah, and since Zarius mentioned Battlestars and some of you might not know what that was, it was one of the last Transformers G1 series, told exclusively through manga and story pages.

I translated the one manga issue and wrote summaries of the story pages, which you can see here, along with my other translated mangas and a manga guide written by McFeely:
