Dinogrrl, THANK YOU. You hit the nail right on the head. You know the reason why we're getting things of Armada and RiD ilk instead of more BW/BM style? Because no one LIKED BM. I thought it was relatively boring, but I never tore into it the way the fandom did in 1999-2000. *shudder* That's why they cancelled Transtech (which was going to continue off from BM) and adopted this Final Fantasy concept. No one liked BM! If a show continued from BM with Saladtron (which could of had SO much done with it), Transfans would riot in the streets! But then, we wouldn't be surprised. EVERY series from G1 Season 3 onward (poor Roddy) has been bashed to hell. G2 perhaps deserved it a bit, but it was the first step to getting TFs from a mere 80s fad into something big. BW got bashed to SH-T and still does so. BM got crapped on so bad it's sickening. RiD has people criticizing the anime style and calling it "kiddy". I-HATE-THAT-WORD. And Armada, oh, poor poor Armada. It's sad, really.

<shnip>

*blink* Whoa... didn't realize how many TF fans we had lurking about here.

I also agree with DinoGrrl's statement... Armada is indeed for the kiddies. *note how they are showing up in Happy Meals* But I have no harsh feelings about it. I didn't like the RiD season Fox ran though. Prolly cause it was too much like anime, and I soo hated that insane woman in a red sportscar. And the point having her there was...? Or lke they had these two trains, and they were going after a human-made locomotive before it goes off the cliff. The whole time I was thinking, 'C'mon! Just tranform and pick it up off the tracks!' Gah... two eps was all I could bare to watch.

I loved Beast Wars... made a point to watch that on Saturday mornings when I could. But.. I don't ever remember seeing Beast Machines... or that I didn't even realize it was TF related. Hrmmm... must have been when my TF interest was at it's all time low (while my TMNT fandom was skyhigh).

Hrmm.. want me to post this at The Padded Cell...? (that's another smallish forum kinda like this, complete with many drooling female fans)
