No, not those crazy Michael Bay films. Although I enjoyed the first one at the theater, the second two I despised. Not a fan. Too many explosions and the story was driven by a human character and not the actually Autobots themselves.

Original Air Years: 1984-1987
I wasn't even born before those original air dates, so like most of my cartoon shows, I saw them as re-runs. Cartoon Network was my channel of choice for this show.
Transformers was nowhere near to having a solid plot-line, which I suppose does give justice to the lack of story in the real-life films. Nevertheless, this cartoon show emphasized the show part. Being based on Hasbro toys that had been around for about 23 years before it's debut, makers of this American show saw exuberant excitement in boys of every nationality, creed, and race. What boy doesn't wanna see ordinary objects that transform into man-like battling robots? I know I sure did!
With so many toys like this one, The Transformers truly dominated this niche!
