If you are a G1 fan or a casual anime watcher, I suggest you watch this show. It's animation is amazing and the theme song is amazing.
First of all, this show is a PERFECT replacement for the "Rebirth" 3 parter. It has an interesting cast of characters that brilliantly moves the cast of characters around. This show is full of important events, and they influence the future series (SPOILERS) Optimus Prime dies (again), Cybertron got destroyed, Mars exploded, and Fortress Maximus is left as the New Autobot leader while MegaZarak (Scorponok) becomes the new Decepticon leader.
Otherwise, it is a great show, and the Japanese trilogy only gets better after this one.
