really liked the season 3 music score.

S3 turned out being (except for its drunken animation errors - i.e. dead characters flying around) G1's finest audio & visual achievement.

Season 3 was the biggest mistake, they never should've killed off Prime and all the other great G1 characters. All they needed to do was start a 2nd TV show to run after the original show. The music was cool and how most the episodes took place on Cybertron was the best thing about season 3.

Well, at least killing of the main characters made the show different than other animated series. We all like Optimus and Ironhide. Even my favorite decepticon Starscream was among dead. Are you trying to say Transformers the movie isn't great?? I dig it's serious tone and bold story.

I don't think it's awesome, it's good but they went about it all the wrong way just to sell toys. Instead it killed the franchise. After Season 3 bad ratings they ended it but continued it in Japan. Would've kept going had they not killed off all the favorite characters. It was so popular it could've ran for another 5 seasons then bring out the movie to bridge the gap.

Don't forget one fact, that the show was created to sell more toys in the first place. I don't think the movie or season 3 killed it, it was inevitable just like other shows. Perhaps there wasn't a big interest + budget problems.
By the way there is a problem with how shows work. Unless ratings go down, most shows go on and on and on until one day they become awful and end up with a cliffhanger. Instead of countless seasons most of us would prefer a good story and at least a satisfying ending. Another thing I have noticed about american viewers is that they find death of main characters so horrifying that they can't come to terms with it. By assuming you are american I guess that's a thing the rest of the world is not bothered by. Have fun and enjoy the show for what it already is. -

Yeah I understand but it was a huge hit with everyone here and I'm sure they'd been happy to keep it going to sell even more toys. My point is had they not killed them off in the movie until years later and started a 2nd TV show instead to help sell the new toys it would've stayed on longer giving them even more opportunity to introduce new toys over a longer period of time. I could see it staying so popular had that happened that a 3rd TV series could've happened. The two seasons with the original guys just wasn't enough. We got jipped on our time with them. Sure we have them now and can watch them over and over but personally I wanted 140 to 150 episodes with the original line up before I would've been okay with them taking them away. That's what got everybody was the lack of a long period of time with them.
I think the movie would've been so cool had it not introduced the new characters and been only about the original guys battling Unicron. It would've been a smash hit and I would've been fine, as everybody else would've, to then get a sequel movie down the road that introduces all the new characters. But the TV show idea would've been the way to go IMO. -

What bugs me slightly was how the a lot of the surviving Autobots (particularly Jazz and Bumblebee who were part of the original ark crew) got shunted into the background. I know their toys were no longer in the stores and you have Scatman Crothers' death in between S3 's production so technically that was almost avoidable, I know they could have had a voice replacement but it just wouldn't have been the Jazz we know and love, but Bumblebee deserved more as he was like likeable "wise-beyond-their-years" character.

I think they still would've killed off the characters.
The goal was toy sales, not storylines.
And the franchise is still going strong 30 years later. A big part of that is because they actually did kill characters. That's what many fans remember and praise the movie for.
Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
