Definitely. That show is shockingly well written. One of the realest depictions of war I've ever seen in a cartoon.

GI Joe or Transformers
Transformers Beast Wars
G1 Megatron<Beast Wars Megatron

Well, this thread got its perfect answer pretty quickly. That or Mighty Max. You /co/, bro?
Soc because it is a collection of many different robots which means many different good anime
>>5917538
Mighty Max.

Beast Wars is great but that first season was a real clunker.

Still million years better than any Transformers cartoons.
Too bad you're not allowed to say that or else 80sfags will point a gun at your head for not liking their shitty old cartoon.

Compared to today? Oh god yes.
Compared to other godawful 80s toons though it holds up okay. I don't know if you've ever tried to rewatch old episodes of disney afternoon toons or Thundercats but you'd swear you must've been retarded as a kid.

Beast Wars
>Beautiful, for it's time, CGI.
>Deep and compelling storylines.
>Actually well-written characters.
>No obnoxious-as-fuck humans.
>Essentially a war story about survival.
>Actually funny sense of humor.
>Seeing animals change into robots is much cooler and interesting.
Transformers
>Shit animation
>Dull and stupid storylines
>Bland one-dimensional characters
>Obnoxious human shits fucking around
>Each is episode is pretty much "The Decepticons are doing evil shit and the Autobots have to stop them."
>About as funny as an elementary class's improve.
>96% of them are just "A vehicle that becomes robot-shaped".

They still had those, just in an early development stage.
They got Dinobot killed, chased Waspinator out of home, etc.
>>5918787
At least they weren't in every single episode to the point that half of the show's focus is about their boring shit.

No Transfag, G1 Transformers was not better than Ducktales, Talespin, or Darkwing Duck. Just for the animation quality alone, it blows the 80's Sunbow cartoons out the water. Funny you mention thundercats, because that was also a much better cartoon than Sunbow's stuff. Dat proto-Ghibli animation.

Mobile Suit Gundam.

The Real Ghostbusters was a great cartoon.
Granted it's more of the show based off movie toys but still fits I think.
If Rasp disappoints me today, he won't live to disappoint me tomorrow.

Man that pilot episode is great, all down hill in quality after that.
