Loved the G1 cartoon as a child. Didn't know about the movie so when I as watching it and all of sudden Optimus was dead, Hot Rod was missing, and Rodimus was there I lost interest in it. Later I found out about the movie so I rewatched but all the errors & inconsistencies I just couldn't get over them. Haven't really been able to get into anything G1 since.

G1 inspired stuff like some of the more recent cartoons are good. The Bayformers, made me want to gauge out my eyes and take a power drill to my ears.
