>>6905166>Odo from DS9 is the main human villain, I shit you not.Admiral Cartwright from the TOS movies, or Sisko's dad from DS9, was the general as well. The movie featured Margot Kidder, Roddy McDowell (Lois Lane), and Telly Salvalas.
GoBots is really a Star Trek to TransFormers' Star Wars. Superficially similar premise (adventures in space, robots from space) but with their own take on it.
Take, for instance, Tarnished Image and Megatron's Master Plan. Very similar plots. Renegades/Decepticons frame the Autobots/Guardians. As a kid, I thought the GoBots approach made more sense. As an adult, I believe people are dumb enough to fall for Berger and Megatron's ruse.
Or Prime Problem and Doppelganger. Standard evil duplicate plot. The Autobots spend all day with retarded contests to probe which Prime is real. The Renegades, meanwhile, nearly pulled their plan off. Too bad they've got their own unfortunate Hound-porks-Spike scene to distract everybody from what's otherwise a solid story.
From TF I like Starscream's Brigade, Auto Berserk, and Divide and Conquer. GoBots has Speed is of the Essence, Clutch of Doom, and Invasion from the 21st Level. Season 3 of G1 is a wash outside of TRoOP so I think GoBots has a better ratio of good to bad.
