I wanted to watch the transformers cartoons but because there is so many I don't know which to watch first, seconds etc.Can you please tell me in order which to watch?I'm watching Transformers Season 1 episode 1 atm.THANKS
Transformers G1 Episode 1
If you want to watch the show that started the whole Transformers, Go on google and look for Transformers Generation 1. That will give you the original transformers cartoon to come out. You can google for a list of them or wiki it. But the List i Got Goes like this. #1. Transformers Generation 1 #2. Transformers: The Headmasters #3. Transformers: Super-God Masterforce #4. Transformers: Victory #5. Transformers: Zone After that starts the beast wars series of transformers then the New Age transformers such as armada,energon, and cybertron, and finally the current airing on cartoon network Transformers: The Animated Series. I personally enjoyed generations one the best, as i watched when i was younger but i hope that helps you out in your search or on what ever you wanted to know.
G1 or Generation One is the original (first)1984 Transformers SeriesWhen watching G1 the order goes this way to make sense of it 1.Season One 2.Season Two 3.Transformers The Movie (1986) 4.Season 3. 5.Season 4 (Rebirth only 3 episodes) 6. Then the Japanese take over the series (It ignores the events of the Season 4 and creates its own starting point) Transformers The Headmasters Transformers Super God Masterforce Transformers Victory Transformers Zone 7. G2 (From the 90's is G1 just repackaged with crappy computer effects) 8. Beast Wars (follows the G1 storyline with there future ancestors) 9. Beast Machines (Beast Wars countinued) each series after these are basically their own thing .unrelated.except the Unicorn Trilogy (Transformers Armada, Transformers Energon, and Transformers Cybertron.)
The original series, now called Generation One, ran for 99 episodes from 1984 to 1987, with a feature film released taking place between Season Two and Season Three. There were a number of series produced exclusively in Japan, picking up from the end of Season Three and ignoring Season Four (Rebirth, Parts 1-3). These are Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory. These are ignored by American productions, however. Generation Two is the same as Generation One, only spruced up a bit with computer graphics. Beast Wars is the second Transformers series produced in the States, and borrows elements from both the original G1 cartoon and the G1/G2 comics produced by Marvel. The next series, Beast Machines, is a direct sequel. You don't need to see G1 to understand BW/BM, but you do need to see BW to understand BM. After BM, four Japanese-produced series totally unrelated to G1 were imported to the US. Robots in Disguise was the first - unfortunately, it doesn't have a DVD release in the States. You don't need to have seen any previous Transformers series in order to enjoy this one. The next three series (Armada, Energon, Cybertron) together constitute the Unicron Trilogy. In theory, they all fit together - in practice, there are serious disconnects, especially between Energon and Cybertron. Blame Japan. The live action films, again, don't require a viewer to have seen any previous material. The most recent animated series is Transformers Animated. Again, you don't need to have seen any previous material in order to enjoy this program. So yeah, doesn't really matter what order you watch them in - just use the production order as a guide for watching individual episodes, and you should be fine.
Generation 1 (Japan/America) - Season 1 - Season 2 - The Movie - Season 3 Then it diverges at this point -American: Season 4 -Japanese: The Headmasters, Super God Masterforce, Victory, Zone. There's also Generation 2 but that is just selected G1 episodes that have CG transition frames added to them, so it's not worth watching. -------------------------------------- Beast Era -Beast Wars Season 1 (America) After Season 1 Japanese Beast Wars -Beast Wars II -Beast Wars Neo) Then it goes back to the American continuity -Season 3 -Season 4 -Beast Machines -------------------------------------- Japan Transformers RiD aka Car Robots in Japan -------------------------------------- Japan Transformers Unicron Trilogy -Transformers Armada (Micron Legend in Japan) -Transformers Energon (Superlinx in Japan) -Transformers Cybertron (Galaxy Force in Japan) Note: These are the titles of the American versions, the original Japanese version was not a Trilogy therefore Transformers Micron Legend and Superlinx are in continuity whereas Galaxy Force is a separate series unrelated to the continuity of the first two. -------------------------------------- America Then a new American-made series, the crappy TF: Animated -------------------------------------- Advice, Japanese Transformers never received good treatment in the US, they were always butchered, so it's best to watch the anime Transformers in Japanese.
