also the TRANSFORMERS (atleast to me) is a classic! and is good example of a story about good vs evil. the series has survived for eons. ranging from G1 to Beast Wars (the Japanese TRANSFORMERS tv shows don't count. these include RID (Robots In Disguise), Armada, Energon, And Cybertron. these examples don't count in the Original TRANSFORMERS series and are counted as Knock-Offs and uncannon) the TRANSFORMERS are a favorite to many. and who can forget them? I can't. there too cool. also the series has also helped in the arrival in other classic series. such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Skellington Warriors, and beleave it or not but The TRANSFORMERS The Movie also took animated movies to a new direction. during the 1980's cartoon movies always been givin a G rating. and never shown any foul play or fighting. but in the summer of 1986 the theatres where blown away by TRANSFORMERS the Movie. the movie's dark toned setting and violence paved the way for other movies to bring themselfs to stardom. unlike other movies TRANSFORMERS the Movie exibited stuff that never been used in the Cartoon movies and was well reconised. not only did TRANSFORMERS show violence and death, but it also showed that no matter how bad things can get, and no matter what stands in your way. as long as we stand together nothing can stop us, and that no matter how dark it gets. theres always a light, to brighten the most darkest hour. the movie has opened the door to other great classics. TRANSFORMERS the movie also influenced our verry own The Land Before Time. had not TRANSFORMERS not have made it to the big screen, LBT would have became a movie like Care Bears. and all that great action in the movie would not be present. also TRANSFORMERS also seen to the success to many stars. such as Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Chris Latta (Now Passed), Suesan Blu, and many many others.
