I watched this show when I was a kid, and looking back, this show gave\re-enforced many of my ideals today. The show focuses on the Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons and thier battles to protect or enslave Earth. The storylines are usually very simple, which is in contrast to some of the language, which having watched all the episodes very recently, is well written, witty and sometimes complicated. As rolemodels, the Autobots are all perfect, despite their occaisional character flaws and the values presented haven't lost their meaning 25 years on.

This is awesome. It's a kids' cartoon. But some adult transformers fans will love it. But beware; Spike's girlfriend is the most annoying person you'll ever see in a cartoon.
