The Rebirth
(Transformers Generation One Finale)
A bit of back story is needed for this "season" first:Instead of
ending on the (while not a perfect note) complete feeling finale of Season
Three, or making another full season to flesh out the huge amount of new toys they were plugging,
Hasbro cheaped out.
Not only did they not fund a full collection of episodes, they also refused to spend enough to make a movie length five-parter. At three parts,
without bumpers, recaps and coming attractions AND including only one set of each
credits, that’s one hour and one minute of screen time. During this miniscule
time span they introduced FORTY-THREE of their new characters. That’s about 1.4
characters per minute. Rather than have the entire set of reactions be “who the
heck is that?” I’ll try to focus on people we know.
