Topic	I bought the complete series dvd set of Transformers G1
MLBloomy 07/07/25 10:37:11 PM #30:	BlueBoy675 posted... Ive been looking into getting the Beast Wars dvds as well since people speak so highly of it. Looking at clips on YouTube though. Look I get that it was probably groundbreaking at the time but holy shit is that show ugly The writing on Beast Wars helps cover for the now primitive looking CG. The tail end of the second season is great. Bad Spark, Code of Hero and Transmutate is a great batch of episodes, then things kick up a notch with the Agenda 3-parter that ends the season. Some of my favorite G1 episodes - Heavy Metal War (my favorite), The Key to Vector Sigma, Parts 1 and 2, War Dawn, Starscream's Brigade, Dark Awakening, Web World, Money is Everything, Call of the Primitives. There's actually a bit of continuity between some of the 3rd season episodes of G1, though they were produced and aired out of order, and are probably out of order in whichever DVD set you have. The arc basically goes Five Faces of Darkness, followed by Fight or Flee and Thief in the Night in any order. Those 2 episodes set up Starscream's Ghost, which is followed by Ghost in the Machine. Also, be ready for a roller coaster of animation quality in the 3rd season. Some episodes are horrible (Five Faces of Darkness, Carnage in C-Minor), many are alright, then there are some great ones. Call of the Primitives is probably the best animated episode in the series, using highly stylized designs and good frame rates. Web World, Money is Everything and Dweller in the Depths are others on the high end. A couple different animation studios were contracted for the season, with AKOM handling the bad ones. They also did 3 2nd season episodes which featured Devastator (which were also a step down from the other episodes), as well as the Rebirth 3-parter that was the 4th season. Toei did the better ones, though they subcontracted out to another group for Call of the Primitives.
