Transformers Rewatch Original Season 1A

Important note- Before I start making fun of these... 

Because they deserve it, a great deal. 

Know that as soon as the full rewatch is completed, I plan on watching them again, so I can fully focus on enjoying them without having to worry about taking notes.

More than Meets the Eye 1-3

In this pilot story Optimus Prime sounds even more like John Wayne than anywhere else, to the point of it being distracting. Glad Peter Cullen toned it down a bit. The opener on Cybertron with all the spacey looking alternate versions is the coolest bit of this introduction. We don’t get more Cybertron LORE for quite a while.

The Bronx Zoo, Always There For Us

The Bronx Zoo has always been there for me, and the rest of my family. It was one of Rosa and my first dates. It's a place that always feels like home. 

We needed a break with some quiet time together, and, as always, the Zoo provided. The heavy traffic on the George Washington Bridge originally shown vanished by the time we reached it. Once we arrived at the Zoo, we had the place almost completely to ourselves. I don't think I've ever seen the Bronxdale Parking Lot that empty. 

Speaking of needing a break, here's some random photos I took instead of any detailed prose. The phone transfer did something weird and I lost a few. Including one of the coolest pictures I've ever taken there. Alas.

Transformers US Generation 1 Rewatch- Index

 

Here’s the episode index… 
Wow, this is going to take a while, isn’t it?
Down below this voluminous list are links to thoughts on more recent Transformers films and shows.

Skeleton Crew -Star Wars a New Generation

Skeleton Crew is not your father's Star Wars... but it has the same tone and themes as your father's Star Wars, because it was made by your father. 

Theoretically, this will make sense before I finish.

Transformers US Generation 1 Rewatch- Introduction

The Transformers cartoon was the lynchpin of my teenaged afternoons. Prior to that I began watching it when if first appeared on Sunday mornings, while syndicated animation was figuring out what to do with itself. 

Note- I'm pretty sure it was Sunday morning, but I can't find a reference that doesn't say "Saturday Morning" or "Weekdays." Maybe Sunday was only G.I. Joe? Being a teenager that early in the morning on weekends led to grogginess, but syndication was also highly variable back then. Your mileage may vary.

Regardless- the main viewing was after school, frequently with friends.

The App Is Useless Except We Didn't Use It Today 

But Pluto Picked A Favorite Family Member 

And It Is Me So Ha

With no Park reservation we slept until 9:30 on our last day. It still felt as completely disorienting as getting up before seven did on the rest of the days. I had no idea why a text related to a mid-day meeting back at work showed up before I arose. Clearly a week was not enough for my biological clock to adjust to a three-hour difference, particularly when starting out (and, honestly, continuing) with almost no sleep.
