The first ever episode of a classic G1 Transformers show is now in 4K. I hope we eventually see Victory, Headmasters, Zone, Scramble City and episodes of the original series eventually.

The show flirts with the idea of being a soft reboot but gets awkwardly reworked as a Headmaster sequel over time. Kinda like Ultraseven to Ultraman.

TFRaw gets all kinds of crazy shit that would've been lost to time, he must have his connections. Because of him we have behind the scenes footage at Toei Animation making Transformers The Movie which had never been acknowledged on any official special features for it.

Are the Transformers anime worth it? I don't know what the consensus is since they're obscure to most of the fanbase
>>
>>22729689
Consensus seems to be that The Headmasters sucks/is boring as hell. People seem to like Victory. Masterforce is “the weird one.” Most US Transformers fans seem to just ignore them. I remember there was one of those multi-hour yourube videos about “the complete history of the Transformers, going into exhaustive (over)detail about every series, but the Japanese-only series from the late-80s to early-90s were glossed over in a couple of sentences. Over here they’re considered basically a footnote. Most fans haven’t actually watched them.

Geewun oldfags especially seem to write them off. “What is this anime bullshit doing in my Transformers?” “Japan doesn’t understand Transformers.” etc.
>>
>>22728204

BW series: fun as hell, but literally filler
>I watched the dubs
R.I.D.: fun as fuck
Armada: top tier plot that's absolutely destroyed by bad production values and the most annoying kids
Energon: bottom tier series of the whole franchise in nearly every aspect
Cybertron: OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER. TO SAVE THEM AND THE GALAXY WE MUST HAVE THE MOST AWESOME CLANKY TRANSFORMATIONS AND WORLD BUILDING and also the human characters are actually good and positively contribute to the plot and robot interactions for once
>>
>>22727310
Many of the Japan transformers shows would have character appearances line up with toy releases. Ginrai's toy would be sold later, so there was no reason to have him appear early on.
>>
>>22730002
I think that's for a multitude of reasons that all compound each other. First, you have the early-days-of-the-fandom perception of the Japanese shows: mysterious and COOL Japanimation where Soundwave and Blaster fight to the DEATH, and Cybertron BLOWS UP, and all sorts of things that sound so amazing that you'll never watch... while at the time the Marvel comics were far easier to come across and share. This is important, because of the way the two countries (and their fanbases) view Transformers.

The West, Transformers is thought of (or imagined as) this action packed show/comic, full of sci-fi and dramatic moments and some witty dry humor. Where in their nostalgia every episode had the high stakes of the movie, or the gripping melodrama of the Underbase Saga. Where Beast Wars was this grand sweeping epic action story. The undisputed king of robot franchises because what even else is there? And it grows and feeds on this perception, leading to Nostalgia Boom marketing like comics and Bay movies adding to this sort of undercurrent that Transformers is for Mature Big Boys Like Me.

While in Japan, Transformers is treated as something for a younger audience than it is in America. Where it's just Babby's First Mecha anime, a robot show in a sea of other robot shows. Where the shows lean in harder on tropes the West doesn't: goofy slapstick for comedy, a clear "Main Character" Biggest Most Expensive Toy being the star of the show, heroic justice being a tangible source of energy. And so on and so on, the views of West vs East permeate the whole franchise. I've even seen comments from Japan that view Headmasters as more "Toei trying to mimic the Western show" before Masterforce and Victory go full on "THIS is what a Transformers show BY JAPAN FOR JAPAN is". Hard to have western fans want to give them their fake shake when that's knit into the very cloth of them.
>>
>>22730442
To capstone this, look at the IDW Beast Wars profiles: It profiled every toy, from American and Japan, but made to fit the American side of things, and the author even though he was one of the earliest superfans, still looked at the Japanese characters more as a problem to fix than something to enjoy for their own sake. And the result? All humor was sucked out of every character except for Waspinator because Beast Wars was Nonstop 3D Action. Where "ugh, this character was SO DUMB and GOOFY" had to be reworked into a more "nuanced" idea. Where "I didn't think I could make this character work because whenever I close my eye I just see them getting hit by Wacky Cartoon Mallets", but in the same breath going "here's cool profiles I made up for some fucking Happy Meal toys".
>>
>>22727509
Ultraseven never does that though. You’re thinking of Return. Seven even implies every other M78 alien looks just like him. Just for his superior to never be mentioned again.
>>
>>22730449
>All humor was sucked out of every character except for Waspinator because Beast Wars was Nonstop 3D Action.
Which was also bullshit because nearly every Beast Wars character has wacky silly bullshit happen to them at some point. While some of the BW Sourcebook's problems were simply that complete dubs were not availiable at the time, most of it is simply "this dude had a bad idea based on faulty opinions and went through with it"
>>
>>22730637
I meant more how Ultraseven takes the same basic premise but is not a sequel so maybe more like Sentai or what Brave would become. Early on Masterforce is written as if there were no other Transformers on Earth besides the Pretenders until Devil Z came along with his Transtectors. It isn't until they call up Chromedome on the space phone does Masterforce start to connect more with the past series. Even then it sometimes forgets that people are supposed to know who the Transformers are or that this is the future. Victory pushes things slightly more in line with the American shows.
>>
>>22730002
Fans don't care here because old subbed anime is really niche and they were never intended for Americans. They're actually really significant since they were the only animated series between the first G1 series and BW, and were the face of tue Japanese half of the franchise in the 80s.
>>
>>22730002
It's really sad people don't view the Japanese series as part of a larger brand, all because they weren't intended for the US. In Japan they aren't distinguished by anything, it's just "that years season/wave of TF" much like Kamen Rider or Sentai or eventually Yuusha.
>>
>>22730954
>That video
God, I miss Beast Wars. There was just something about that particular brand of banal comedy that felt right. Couldn't help but laugh at it, no matter how cringe or ridiculous it was. Starring first and foremost Megatron, spending half of all his days in an energon-jacuzzi, monologuing evil plans against a yellow rubber ducky. Yeeeee---s.

A big part of why the fanbase is very split is because the fans are cartoon/toy fans. They generally don't watch that much anime. They're more likely to get into other american toyetic stuff like he-man or whatever. It's also not something like robotech where what they're watching is just the shitty bootleg version, so they don't move on as a community to "the real thing", because it's not really any more real. That's probably why they aren't here all that much, this is a much more weeaboo anime centric board.

At worst it turns them into being just another 80's boomerstolgia americana community that sits around going "anime, isn't that stuff weird pornos? I don't want any tentacles in my cartoons!".
>>
>>22734641
who said the fanbase is "split"? what "split" are you refering to?
>>
>>22734679
People who like Japanese Transformers and those who don't, it's become a common point of discussion because of the noticeable lack of anime in the franchise that was once a staple since the 80s, the fact that lots of zoomers are old enough to be nostalgic for their first encounter with Transformers anime like RID2001 or the Unicron Trilogy, and that sites like TFWiki got major flack by fans of Japanese Transformers for spamming "WTF JAPAN" jokes for like two decades. Like >>22734641
said, some fans just move on to other American toy centric shit like GI Joe, He Man, TMNT etc, and others use it to get into other robot shows like Yuusha, Macross, Gundam etc. Some Transformers fans don't like it being part of a super robot genre, while many love Japanese Transformers because they love said genre. So rather than except that it's something that just doesn't appeal to them, the fans of western Transformers just insist everything that didn't air in their country is bad.

Question. Why does Japanese animation from a particular year in the 80s look a lot grainier and older than American animation from the same year? I alwas remember that GI Joe and American TF were less detailed than this, but smoother and newer looking.

Japanese 90s shit looks like it's from the 80s for some reason to me. 80s looks almost but not quite 70s. Not that it's bad quality or anything, but why?
>>
>>22747895
>the beam doesn't even reach Unicron
That's the saddest part to me.
>>
>>22755184
Money. Stuff like GI Joe, American TF, Mighty Orbots, Dinosaucers, Captain N, that all had the big American funding behind it to get better quality, and the extends to the materials. It's the same reason you could watch Power Rangers and notice when the footage changed from the American stuff back to the Japanese footage.

Marvel and Sunbow produced the original show while Toei did the animation
>>
>>22758349
Marvel Productions was not Marvel Comics.
>>
>>22757163
>>22757563
That was by Mitsuo Iso of Evangelion fame, that particular scene was a lot like the Asuka vs mass produced Eva fight. I'd love to see more episodes like this in HD, ever since Transformers The Movie came to blu ray it opened my eyes to how much Toei's animators gave a shit back then. The details are amazing.
>>22758349
iirc Sunbow was just a marketing firm and did nothing creative, all the creative decisions were Marvel and Toei.
>>
>>22759801
It also had about twice the budget of DYRL if I recall. Hasbro was paying well.
>>
>>22759845
Toei had money left over to boot, which they used to make Saint Seiya. It's sad how Toei has become mainly a battle shonen studio; they were just as good as Sunrise in the 70s and 80s. When One Piece ends, I want Toei to make a brand new episodic mecha anime, preferably with Obari designs and stock footage.

Studio Trigger finally get a chance to work on a TF project. Not much beyond this teaser.
>>
>>22806576
Looks like it's a reanimation of several 86 movie scenes that could lead into a full-length show in a few years, sort of like with Gridman. I have to say, I'm kind of worried about that -- they're probably going to use the G1 style again and try to introduce a more dark and mature story like those Netflix/Machinima shows. Just make a Transformers anime for kids already!
>>
>>22806614
I don't know if this was a previously drawn poster or something, but I found it odd that Sparkplug is there with Armada Matrix with the usual movie pose of Rodimus Prime. Crossover?
>>
>>22806620
Ooh, perhaps. Maybe the full anime is going to connect the Unicron Trilogy to G1, since Takara is so insistent on everything being one big continuity. That could be interesting.
>>
>>22806623
>Gary Chalk's and Peter Cullen's Primes on screen together
That's just Prime.

You're possibly just watching American cartoons from the 80s that got heavier DNR treatment when they were digitized. Given that a huge proportion of 80s western cartoons were animated in Japan by studios like Toei and TMS in the first place - it probably has more to do with post processing far after the fact - since it's not like the animation studio would be doing the work on producing a home video version - they just shot the actual animation on film and then sent it off to the rights holders, if that was a Japanese company then they would contract someone to make the home video version in Japan, if it was an American company it would be done in America. It's also possible that the American cartoons were being shot on the 32mm cameras used for OVAs and films over the 16mm ones that became standard for TV anime after the industry crash in the early 70s, but I've never seen any evidence of this personally.

Also, I think American studios adopted digipaint earlier in the 90s where Japan didn't go hard with it until Toei switches over in 98. So that could be some of why why 90s anime looks 80s esq to you.

so, any possible stitches in this PV?

huh, it seems they made the Beast Hunters version of OP less bulky wit the one holding the sword.

>>
>>22833887
If that was the limit (shows and films only but also only if they're introduced to Japan), I understand
This is for the Japanese fandom in mind even with the western deep cuts
Admittedly part of me was hoping "How do you feel about going on the offensive?" would have made it in just to see it animated but even if the limits were lowered to include manga and comics (Trigger's full of westaboos), I get it probably would have been too late and would just bloat the PV with stuff the Japanese side wasn't familiar with anyways

You know what I'm just gonna say it. I don't like Trigger's animation style. It's like the extreme proportions of Obari but without the fluidity that goes with them.

He uses a sword in his last battle during the events of Victory. It's a pretty iconic.

Kinda surprised they didn't include Movie Galvatron in the lineup.
>>
>>22833977
>He wasn't in the Decepticon/Predacon leader collage
Huh, you think it's because he's a reborn Megatron?
>>
>>22833966
Well, that explains that.
Seen all of Masterforce and Only a handful of Victory.

That was so stupid and pointless I don't even want to tell transformer guy to fuck off. He'll need a friend.

TAKARA ignored Beast Hunters.
BHOP in Japan has only Star saber.
>>
>>22833980
They seemed to avoid adding upgrades in that sequence, the only execptions were the Armada and Cybertron leaders (Trigger seems to treat them like Takara did initially, as seperate characters).

That cut isn't Obari, that's Yoh Yoshinari. It is Obari's boards and designs, but Obari's 90s mecha animation was very heavy on omitting inbetweens and shooting directly from pose to pose.
>>
>>22834234
They care more about a timeline which Optimus and Megatron became friends rather than that little drama. Plus, everything TF was involved in that short.

Is it bad I only recognize OG, Beast Wars and the Armada kids?

Japan dub changed the scene into the owl calling himself a guy. So none of that here.

Actually amazing. Having all the humans was a nice touch and the Transmetal Optimus and Megatron scene was pure fucking kino.

Guys Im just so happy Transmetals got in. I heard Japan hates them for some reason. Turning them into some sort of fusion gattai with their G1 counterparts was aqesome. I kind of fucking hate Beast Machines but I can't even be mad it got a mention. Somehow they made Primals face not look hideous.

He's also a combiner.

Transformers Go had two Getter-style combiner teams. In the finale Optimus Exprime shows up and combines with the leaders of both teams instead, using his shield/dragon kibble to form their upgraded helmets.

On this note, where should I look to to dig up as high a quality versions of Victory and Zone as possible? I want to do something really autistic relating to a specific character from it that includes gathering as many images of them as I can, including from the series themselves. Thus the higher-quality the better, but I'll make do with what there is if my best shot is the 480p stuff
