Re: Poorly Animated 80s VHS Transformers

Ha, too funny.

I thought there might have been something like the two different Ghostbuster cartoons: the first one, that shitty cartoon that was nothing like the movies (actually, it wasn't that bad...if you didn't know about the movie, that is. More old school type cartoon, which I like)....and "The Real Ghostbusters, with the movie guys (and complete toy line).

The theme music to the first version was hilariously bad!

Re: Poorly Animated 80s VHS Transformers

No... The stories have no plot whatsoever. It's basically "Megatron plans something bad... Autobots stop him. The end"


Wait... Isn't that every transformer show?

Re: Poorly Animated 80s VHS Transformers

Very interesting to hear Megatron voiced by Bob McFadden of Thundercats fame.

(He played Snarf, Ssslithe, Vulturman, Grune and Ratar-o, among others.)

I can't begin to explain how wrong this statement is.

Oh, wait, yes I can!

The episode in question is from season 2 and it's called "The Core", and it was animated by AKOM (it's right in the first sentence).
