No one cares to hear my favorites so I'll just put my most favorite Prime and Animated are interchangeable. For me they are the best shows in the Franchise. They both have problems that the other covers, and if someone makes a combination of the two then I'll watch it for an eternity.
@@fredjones2170 I try. I like Prime for the animation, stories (though Animated had great stories too, I just want like the ideas of the stories more), dialogue, and villain roster (no disrespect to Animated, but I think that the roster on Prime had an edge because of how brutal the villains could be). Animated has those nice quiet moments to reflect upon and use to grow, the comedy is great, and I love all the characters (Ratchet, Prowl, Megatron, Shockwave, and Blitzwing are my favorites). They both have greatness to them, and combining their greatness would be great.
@@koolmckool7039 yep :) Tbf some of the fans of TFP get triggered so easily :/ Like I agree with them on a lot of things but they seem to not handle different opinions very well. (not all of them but quite a lot)
"Yo yo Piraka. Transformers Energon is the Mona Lisa of it's time. Minecraft." "Can you understand me? I'm talking backwards. Like, you'd have to be completely insane to actually reverse this audio just to hear me. What, what are you? Are you nuts?"
I actually like how high on the list Rescue Bots was... it actually caught my attention. And it had quite a few dark parts for a kids show... Remember the end of Season 1?
I absolutely LOVE Rescue Bots! :D I thought that considering the animation and the fact it really was for younger kids and silly at times, it had great characters with great personalities that developt throughout the show. You know, people you actually cared about :) And some great lessons. Nowadays it seems everything has to be dumbed down for the younger audience and personally I think that really sucks :/
@@sunflowers-in-tulips6705 I have to agree. You could see them get better, over come certain feats while still sticking with the original character's personalities. And I was actually tense and worried that it wouldn't get a 4th season. Because that would've left so many open plot holes.... and it's nice to see them grow.. My favorite episode had to be the Quint Quarry and Lord Chumley episodes. Chumley was exactly like G1 Chumley, except that Quint looked like G1 Chumley. And RB is what got me interested in Transformers again. I used to watch G1 when I was 6ish, when it was on Netflix, but they removed it. So, I forgot about Transformers till I found Rescue Bots.
I remember avoiding watching it because it looked, well... like it was for babies, as said above. But I tried it anyway and its ridiculous how much I love it
@@robinblue820 I know right? It took aspects from a lot of the versions of Transformers I love. With people judging the animation style and the amount of dark episodes, it's much like Animated
It would come on TV now and again when my younger siblings were watching cartoons, and I'd often find myself watching it. It's just an adorably wholesome little show and I love it.
Everything you said about Victory is exactly why whoever at IDW said “hey let’s completely betray Star Saber’s character, I’m sure no one will mind” can FITE ME
According to some sources; TF Prime had _Gargoyles_ season2 levels of executive meddling to deal with for most of its run. Damn right it got held back.
As much as I love Prime, I have to agree that Animated deserves the top spot. I seriously love the show and it's disappointing to see no season 4 :( Edit: yall, this is literally an opinion from two years ago, and you're still replying. I even forgot that this comment even exists 😂 just a reminder that opinions change, so take that as you will lol
To be fair Prime is just 1 year younger than Animated. It's not nostalgia. I Rank prime 2nd to Animated tho, not because I like the other. It's just a better take on transformers. Nahh I don't know any of these 2 are one and I still won't agree Prime is 7th. I just want to say that it's not bad to put animated on 1
As an original Transformers fan since 84, I'd admit after season 1 of G1, seasons 2-3 were hit and miss. I personally love season 4 though. As for later cartoon iterations- love Beast Wars and have a weird fondness for R.I.D. 2001. Have all of the boxsets for the Japanese G1 stuff and agree that Victory is the best out of the three. Kudos for shining the light and giving some love for the Brave Yuusha cartoons. Love the toys (still have a few in my collection) and love most of the different Brave series.
Upvote for Rescue Bots getting a good ranking! The show is just criminally underrated and ignored. It has actual prograssion from season to season and it actually has that great moment where the Rescue Bots come out as alien robots to the people of Griffin Rock and it's the kind of moment I've been waiting for a long time. A moment where the 'masquerade' s dropped! Imagine how Prime would have been if Megatron's cyber-converting of Jasper and his demands to the world leaders HADN'T been blocked by the US Government? The world had learn of the Transformers?! Anybody remember the first season finale of X-Men Evolution? I want a moment like that happening in the next show!
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I way with number zero Brave Police J Decker is one of my favourite shows of all time. It’s a genuine tragedy how overlooked it is.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH EVERY POINT ON THAT LIST. I can't believe Victory was that high up too and God bless you for giving Brave Police the spotlight it deserved 💜 Super entertaining, had a blast watching this mini series
Watch GaoGaiGar then And recommend me your personal favorite Braves Series anime ( J-Decker I found about it when I was 8 years, looking for cool Mecha Anime at the time, to this day I need to watch it )
It's pretty sad how most people sweep victory under the rug by most people. However my issue with the show has to be the excessive amount of filler the show had in its original run....
His opinion on animated is the wrong opinion.Animated is horrible.Optimus has lips.When they talk In car mode.They move up and down.That does not make any sense.The main human character is female child.Not just any female child.But a black female child that sports an ugly pigtail.I just don't like Transformers Animated,It's bad.
@@aaronkinganimations9495 yessssssssss that pigtail is the ugliest. well at least not many people is gonna watch this show oh wait noice i'm gonna be a clown now
Omg! Yes! Finally someone speaking about Brave Police! Absolutely one of my favourite series, It’s really good and can make you quite sentimental at times, it has lovable characters and a good story, obsolutely worth watching

Tbh, I like both Prime & Animated but I definitely prefer Prime. I felt like they both had wasted potential but Animated more so. Maybe I'm biased because I'm not particularly a fan of 2D animation and the art style is a bit...ehhh. But they both offer something different to the franchise and that's what's great about TF. There is such variety in the franchise that there is something for everyone. I generally prefer the more grounded and realistic TF shows and media but if I want something fun to watch then I will go to something like Animated or G1. PS. I'm sorry I was salty at you in 2017 for shitting on Prime but I lashed out simply because the show meant a lot to me personally and I didn't find your points to be very well conveyed.
To me they are both interchangeable. I can't force myself to like either of them more than the other. They both have strong points that make it hard to choose.
@@thomasturtle7207 It's like when you watch one you want to like it more than the other, but then you watch the other and want to like it more than the other one. I decided to just say interchangable.
I'll be honest with you, I think that Season 1 of Prime is better than Season 1 of Animated. The other ones seem a bit more of a personal opinion, but usually Transformers show become better the longer you watch them (the same happened to me with RiD 2015)
I really think G1 is overrated. I love it a lot and it's incredibly entertaining. But the writing, the characters, the plot, the animation. It's all so terrible!
G1 animation was bad, but only by our standards today. Remember it was from the 80’s so that was the best they had, plus the episodes had to be done in as little as 4 months, that’s why there was so many animation errors
eirik sundby right? dont get me wrong, i like quite a few of the designs (though other shows did a lot of/most of them better, like prime wheeljack for example) and if it werent for G1 we wouldnt have transformers, but the amount of people who think G1 is the best and only way to go about anything transformers is so fucking stupid, prime, animated, armada, theyre all so much better than G1, hell even cyberverse, a show i originally thought was gonna be just as bad as 2015 RID, looks like itll be joining those 3 as some of the best transformers shows ever
@Savage Jesus by characterization do you mean assign a character trait and then not develop or give them depth or personality other than what you would write on the back of the toy packaging?
As decent or whack the bay movies may be, it has done the best thing for the franchise which is revive the hype after the drop of the early 2000s. If it wasn't for the live action franchise we probably wouldnt have gotten animated, prime, or cyberverse. The films are pretty entertaining too because of how amazing the cgi is
Cyberverse has one of the best transformers season ever. That’s season 3, that post apocalyptic, matrix, restoration of society, and full on space war was just so much fun
I have! Deathsaurus was the best Decepticon leader since G1 Megatron, don't give a sh*t about the Autobots, barely remember who they were save Star Saber and Holi, Jan the human wasn't too bad either.
Watched the entire shit two times, absolutely loved it. Freaking take JP continuity on G1 over USA continuity ANY DAY lol. You get not Powered Optimus but GOD GINRAI. Then you get Star Saber which is single handily one of the most badass character in the franchise. Lastly you have Dai Atlas alone with his human companions who are a gay couple. Seriously, how do you NOT love Japan XD That said Scramble city and HM was a huge fvcking mess. But I take Super God Masterforce over the power master arc and onward any day.
"It's like walking into a clothes store and finding your nan convulsing on the floor, there's something about it that just hooks you in and makes you want to keep watching" has to be my favorite quote this year
I was definitely surprised that Prime didn't make it into the top 5, but i was very happy to see Animated at #1. As someone said in an earlier comment, the only thing wrong with Animated was a lack of a fourth season.
I really wish I could still like TF:Prime. It had such a good run of episodes and story arcs throughout, but there are a bunch of things that never got explained and stories with unsatisfying endings. The final episodes and movie were just outright garbage, and the heel-turn with Megatron is so idiotic and ludicrous, I cannot even watch the damn thing anymore. That's how much I hate that moronic end.
Savage Jesus- Brian Tyler is a great composer, he went on to work for/did films like Star Trek, a good amount of the scores in marvel films, and he actually helped out on the themes for uncharted and worked with Bethesda as well. So I have to disagree that the orchestrated theme was actually good, and no Prime was not shit
Love the list. A lot passion in your choices. (Also, yeah, Prime is just alright I suppose.) But to ask, did Optimus steal the “small cog in a big machine” speech from Sentinel, or did Sentinel steal it from Optimus? Seeing as how Sentinel’s character is that he’s a fraud who likes to steal credit and make everyone else look bad just to make himself look good.
Wow! For an american property, there's a shit ton of Japanese transformers shows! Like 40% of these were Japanese! I wonder why that is? Look at other properties that are similar to transformers like he-man or GI joe or Thundercats or ninja turtles. They don't really have many Japanese shows. I wonder why transformers were able to cross over to Japan and those other shows weren't? It's the big fuck-off robots, isn't it? Yeah, I realized as I was writing this comment... it's the big fuck-off robots. The Japanese sure do love themselves some big fuck-off robots.
Everyone must understand it’s his opinion your fully welcome to disagree there are points in these videos that a do disagree in yes but still it’s his opinion not mine you like what you like
Rescue Bots and Animated above Prime? You sir are a true inspiration. I love Rescue Bots and Animated, not enough to be above Prime, but I love them. I thought I was the only one who put Animated and Rescue Bots in such high regards. 🤗
"(G1Season 2) outlives its welcome..." Maybe because it was created not only as a collection of toy commercials, but with a whopping 52-episode quota to meet because it was made to get the pre-Movie series up from 13 episodes (for weekend syndication) to the same illustrious 65 episodes (for weekday syndication) as their competing series Challenge of the Go-Bots? I for one am just grateful that under such money-driven circumstances that Season 2 came out as well as it did, with at least enough good episodes (especially good 2-partners) to have created another 13-episode Saturday season... :1
>and Brave series fan Ok, I'll completely forgive for liking TJL. One day, I hope you do a of the hype that is GaoGaiGar (and GaoGaiGar final). Also Victory and Zone are honorary Brave series. Change my mind.
The very first transformers show that I watched was Rescue Bots when I was around the age of 6-7 ish. While I wasn’t even a fan of transformers, I remember loving that show. The first transformers series I watched as a fan (after seeing the Bumblebee movie and becoming a huge fan) was Animated and at first, I thought it was just ok but as the series went on and characters developed I learned to love it. Transformers Animated is always going to be my favorite series and I think the only flaw I can find with it is that it didn’t get another season.
Me: “okay okay his list is okay so far” PaperPlane: “next up in my list is transformers prime” Me: “……..okay okay it’s HIS opinion” PaperPlane: “predacons rising is actually horrible” Me: “🔫” Edit: HOLY CRAP HE PUT RESCUEBOTS ABOVE TFP 😑
In all seriousness, while I disagree with his list it doesn’t make it bad, this is just a joke XD Edit: but putting Rescue Bots above TFP is psychotic 🙃
I find you the exact opposite of myself when it comes to the ways we have chosen to handle the greatest problem the Transformers has: WE ALL KNOW TRANSFORMERS HAS ISSUES, a lot of them in fact. But while I wish transformers was more mature and had great serious stories for adults with deep plots and themes and try to ignore the dumb parts, you embrace them and try to enjoy the parodies. Well, I guess we have different way to handle the same issues.
Yes some one else who likes Rescue bots! It was every thing i loved about beast wars and animated. Good characters and fun gags and refences. It was brilliant for it was.
Honestly, I'm happy that prime is in the top ten. I recognize that it's ... weak, as far as Transformers shows go, but when you have things like the Bay movies and the original Gen 1 show to live up to and try to combine without making things extremely silly, thennnnn you kinda have limits. And when your main focus is actually on the *characters* and not the entire conflict of the autobot/decepticon war, that limits you even further. I'm not saying it's entirely impossible to tell a compelling, well put-together story with these constraints, but I do recognize that it's insanely difficult when you're going for something more structured. Freeform entertainment wasn't quite as enjoyed outside of reality shows and stand-up comedy specials. Transformers has always been synonymous with exaggerated storytelling and compelling stories, and that right there is where the fault lies. The structure that comes with a story doesn't quite allow for the kind of freedom of form that Prime truly needed to soar like it deserved to. At times, it just seemed like an animated reality TV show; others, it was an action-packed adventure the likes of which few had seen before. I enjoyed it, but hey, I'm one person. I can't account for *everyone's* tastes.
When I heard the tf animated theme song it made me cry a bit cuz it was so good I remember I had a bumblebee that I would play with all the time(sadly I lost it)
