Look, I agree with most of the previous comments on this series. But please use some common sense. Yes, if you go by the idea that the Original WESTERN 'Transformers' series is the CORRECT, PERFECT series (that can't stand up to some differences), you are going to think something is really screwed up when watching this series. But you need to realize that for the Japanese audience, translations and rewriting were done with the first saga. Hence, part of the reason the storyline is different. Now with that in mind I continue. Think of the last three episodes of the original U.S. series as one of those pulled out movie like things, the way DBZ did with the movies that don't actually fit into the story line at all. If you ignore those three episodes (which fixes the fact that Daniel doesn't transform into Arcee's head, and no one has ever met the Headmasters) the story line does make much more sense. Plus keep in mind that even if you get a dubbed version (I found all three later series on an Internet auction site, dubbed really well on multiple DVD's), the writers didn't rewrite the storyline, only the lines into English. So pardon them if it doesn't fit your idea of the perfect series because many ideas and even jokes don't translate well from one culture to another. In my opinion (not that it would ever happen, but feel free to prove me wrong C.N.) they should bring all of these series over to the U.S. on cartoon network, re-written and re-dubbed for a limited run on Toonamie or Adult Swim. I think it would play really well in a block with 'Big O', 'Full Metal Alchemist' and 'Cowboy Beebop'. (especially around the time that the live action movie comes out)
