Revision as of 20:00, 7 December 2006
This early 1990s series possesses more or less the same episode list as its Generation 1 predecessor. Many old episodes were re-aired to promote the Generation 2 toyline; primarily these were from seasons one and two, though the odd third season show did slip in (curious, since the G2 toyline contained zero post-movie characters).
The only substantial differences were made in order to "update" the show; a new CGI intro featuring Optimus Prime battling a purple (G2-colored) Ramjet replaced the traditional cel-animated intro, and an intrusive and sound-smothering CGI device known as the "Cybernet Space Cube" was added in an attempt to make cuts and other scene transitions seem cooler. This lackluster attempt at a G1 update is generally forgotten by fans, and did not have anything like the staying power of its predecessor.
However, it is possible that these re-runs were intended to lead up to a new TV series. The letters page of various G2 comics assured readers that a G2 cartoon had been made and would air after the reruns.
