I daresay, Animated Optimus is probably my favourite Optimus. Its Megatron has to compete with Beast Megatron, though.

I think I like Primal more for one sole reason.

Oh yes, Primal was my childhood hero.

TFA is in the exact same boat as LoZ Windwaker.
Called kiddy crap when released. A year later called one of the best entries in it's franchise

Here's how I rank the Transformers shows:

G1- Doesn't really hold up at all. Animation style is weak & storytelling is virtually nonexistent.

Beast Wars- really brought me into the franchise. CG is dated by modern standards but great cast & very well fleshed out characters.

Beast Machines- FUCKING GARBAGE. Takes everything I liked from the last show & feeds it into a fire. I hate everything about it.

RID- Can't remember too much about it; wish they would remember who owns it & put out a new DVD release.

Armada- rushed into production and it shows; the animation is lazy & the script barely matches actions. A few good ideas but ultimately a failure.

Energon- Probably the worst series ever made (and yes, I consider it even worse than the live-action films). Lousy animation and atrocious story pacing.

Cybertron- Much better animation but story still suffers badly. Hasn't aged well.

Animated, as I stated before, is my favorite- a tremendous balancing act between childish fantasy & dramatic storytelling. Ended way too soon & I will always regret the fact that we never got an Omega Supreme toy from this series. Its my ultimate lost Grail....

The recently-concluded Prime was pretty good overall; some of the best graphics Transformers has ever had & a decent cast. Suffers a bit in a few storytelling aspects (not paced well & some interesting angles are never followed up on properly) but still very worth a watch.

I must be one of the few that actually loved Beast Machines. It had some faults I guess, but I felt it was still quite competently made.

Totally. I thought that of both those things when I was younger, then I matured and stopped saying stupid things like "This is for little kids!"

I seriously regret not watching TFA as it came out.

On Prime? I thought season 1 was great, then season 2 squandered all of season one's setup. I haven't finished season 3 yet.

Well to be fair, it is for little kids, but doesn't mean it isn't amazing for us too.

Well i watched the TMMT episode wormquake.
Loved the cameo of the 80's turtles, that was fun.
