There have been Transformers shows and toys almost continuously since the 80s. There us maybe a vague gap between G1 and Beast Wars aside from the nebulous G2.

But one following right after we had

Beast Wars, Beast Machines, RID2000(Car Robots), Armada, Energon, Cybertron, Animated, Movie1, Prime, More Movies, Robots in Disguise, Earthspark, etc etc

Plus several toddler tier shows like Rescue Bots. And several Youtube web mini shows.

Thats not even getting to the toy lines. For at least a decade Transformers has had like 5 lines going on shelves. The toddler line, the simple kiddie line, a more complex "Classics" line for older collectors, some sort of movie themed line, some sort of specialty line like Masterpiece.

Sorry for the long rant, and its nothing personal, it just seems funny anytime Transformers comes up and people act like it was G1 then the movies. Transformers has never gone away ever since it started.

Uh... That was literally the opposite of the point I made.

Transformers was the benchmark I was comparing He-man to.
