Tommy's popularity just overshadowed all else. The writers just didn't care about any of the guys besides Tommy. His popularity really was just so detrimental to the other cast members. The show went from being about a team of five or six heroes to being about one hero and his five sidekicks...

With Modern Sonic's green irises.

Sick of being the least popular Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Rocky finally snapped.

Case in point: Versus how the beast guys' bad-guy counterparts are typically much larger by comparison: Also, I just realized that there's 17 villain leaders vs. 18 hero leaders in these pics because both G1 Optimus and G1 Rodimus are present while G1 Galvatron is absent because he's the...

Why did Russ fold down Big Convoy's tusks behind his back? It creates a much less impressive silhouette when they're hidden away. Canonically, he's supposed to be equal in robot mode height to Pre-Transmetal Optimus Primal and Lio Convoy. Ironically, his original toy was noticeably shorter...

This right here. It's like back when Bay was still directing the live action movies and some fans kept wishing that he would stop being such a weenie and go for a full R rating, as if that would somehow prove that Transformers is totally for mature adults and not sissy babies.

Indeed. The dub started production before the Japanese scripts were even done, and started airing in the U.S. months ahead of the Japanese broadcast. They couldn't have known what was intended with how much of a rush job it was. All because Cartoon Network wanted to meet a certain deadline for...

Exactly. Armada Megatron wasn't the calculating schemer, Thrust was. Yet, David Kaye's Megatron voice was played for the part of a calculating schemer when the character it was applied to was not, meaning it didn't suit that character.

Having finally gotten to watch the original Japanese version of Armada just last year, I finally have a better grasp on what the show was trying to do with its particular depiction of Megatron, which got lost or at least obscured in the English dub. See, we know Beast Wars Megatron. He acts...

Oh no. That calls to mind "Prestige Television", which can border on X-rated material. Alas, no one ever remembers his one-episode sidekick Prank from The Batman. We can also probably thank the Michael Bay movies for giving people an impression of what "Transformers but for ADULTS" looks like.

Truth be told, I was originally going to cite The Legend of Prince Valiant instead as an example of a very mature yet still G-rated animated series, but I opted out of it because I figured that's way more obscure a show and so went with a frame of reference that more folks round here would have...

The 2012 cartoon had five seasons. Sounds like you stopped watching after Season 2 or something.

It's just, when you hear the words "Adult Animation", that genre tends to come with the caveat of heavily featuring the likes of gore, sex, crass humor, and/or frequent F-bombs. Batman: The Animated Series had none of that stuff and is largely considered to be more mature in the truest sense of...

Ideally, something along the tone of Adult Swim's "My Adventures with Superman" would be great.

Linkara: "THAT'S NOT WHAT 'CHEATING' IS, YOU STUPID TRUCK!!!"

Nothing is more childish than the desire to be perceived as grown up. True maturity is recognizing and accepting without any shame or embarrassment that you like something meant to sell toys to young children.

I thought Randy was big into Skywarp rather than Megatron.
