I have a love for behind-the-scene stuff and artbooks/supplementary materials in general and both AllSpark Almanacs are amazing. Chock full of goodies for the series, including plot details on what Season 4 would have been. If you're interested, the first one is about 15 bucks at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Animated-Allspark-Jim-Sorenson/dp/1600104878/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326419385&sr=8-1
"I love G1 in that trainwreck kind of way that people like things they enjoyed as children. But it's awful and ridiculous. Hilariously ridiculous, which makes it entirely watchable in that laughing to keep from crying kind of way."
Oh, who doesn't have or guilty pleasures and whatnot? I watched the 1986 TF movie and though it's not going to win any award for best story, I think that film is kick ass. Awesome soundtrack, awesome animation, awesome epicness. It's pure entertainment and honestly, really stupid. But I love that film. Sometimes the really bad and/or ridiculous can be fun. ^^
"well.... it's so anime. I have TF Victory, but we've only managed to get through a few episodes while shaking our heads. I never went G2, Headmasters or Masterforce or any of the rest, either. Ugggh. Sooo much."
Damn it, I forgot about those. Soooo much.
"Though, I highly recommend Beast Wars. Fan favorite concepts like sparks and 'slag' as a curse word all came from them. The CGI is really old, but it does improve after the first season, and Mainframe had the most beautiful sense of humor in their writing. Very sad they got bought out."
Beast Wars/Machines is something I watched as a kid back when it aired, so I'm way ahead of ya. Of course, back then, I had no idea it was part of a much bigger franchise. I did rewatched BW last year and still amazed how well it holds up. Will get the DVD boxed set one day.

I'm laughing inside since it looks like these went up in price overnight. They're 20 now. I might keep an eye on them, though. Would be worth taking a look.

Honestly, if you're in the TF fandom for the long haul, tolerance of bad is a bit of a requirement. Take what's good and nod along with the rest. That's pretty much the entire history of the franchise....
Damn it, I forgot about those. Soooo much.
Sooo much. The GI Joe vs Transformers comics. Dreamwave. And I heard Energon was so awful. So awful. I know lots of people who watched Armada but couldn't go any farther in the Unicron trilogy because of hte rampant levels of bad. And this is from people who watched G1 all the way through Headmasters.

I think if I had to really pick an absolute favorite for all of TF, Beast Wars would be it. I also saw it back when I was younger and it was airing and didn't make a connection to the entirety of Transformers. But the characters. The humor. The characteeers. Dinobot, Rat Trap. Inferno. The list goes on and on of amazing characters I love to bits for being the morons they were written to be. Back then it probably didn't hurt that it was made by the guys doing Reboot, either.
