Evidently, he loved and cared about money a lot more.I wonder what happened to him. You could see he loved and cared about G1 Transformers in his artwork.

Couldn't someone just... pay them now?
They couldn't. She is owned by Marvel, so no one other than Marvel can legally use her.Maybe if they would have brought back Circuit Breaker,
Spike Witwickyinstead of replacing her with whoever that was,
I think I read some of Regeneration One. I don’t remember, which usually means I did not like what they did with the G1 Transformers story. Maybe if they would have brought back Circuit Breaker, instead of replacing her with whoever that was, I might have liked it better.
Regardless of the quality, I didn’t see the point of it. The G1 Marvel Comics ended things in the best place, Generation 2 continued the story nicely even tying it in with Marvel’s G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series.
Regeneration One seemed like it ignored all of that, exploring and expanding into characters and stories most Transformers fans don’t really care about or are interested in, like killing off G1 Optimus Prime yet again and passing leadership to Rodimus Prime.
Regeneration One was an abortion. It did not respect the source material, and probably should not have been made. The only purpose it served was to feed Simon Furman’s ego at a point where he was way past his prime.
Furman needs to retire his jersey. He needs to get off the stage and bow out gracefully. He’s like a boxer that stayed in the ring too long or a singer who stayed on the stage long after losing his voice.
Those who actually like Regeneration One have drunk the Simon Furman fanboy cool-aid, in my opinion.
Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman laid the foundation and all of the ground work for the history and lore of the G1 Transformers Universe. Budiansky and Furman are the most important people to ever work on Transformers.
Yes. The technology that was used in Masterforce to turn humans into Headmaster Juniors and Godmasters was created on Planet Master and sent to Earth.The Headmasters came from Planet Master in the Headmasters cartoon.
Is there a connection with Masterforce?
No. The Pretenders came from Cybertron to Earth back during the Stone Age. They remained hidden on Earth during all the time of the G1 cartoon and The Headmasters cartoon, not revealing themselves until the year 2020 in Masterforce.Didn’t the Pretenders in Masterforce also come from Planet Master?
Yes. He found Planet Micro, which became the home planet of the Micromasters.Also, did Rodimus Prime ever find a new planet to replace Cybertron which got blown up?
Yes. Chromedome was mentioned and seen briefly in the third episode.Were the Headmasters ever even mentioned in Masterforce
What was a little bit of a welcome surprise (as the Action Masters subline was frequently blamed for putting Transformers in a two-year coma in the North American market) was IDW-2005-G1 revisiting the idea in the form of the "Militant Monoform Movement" (Cybertronians rebelling against the dictates of "your altmode determines your social standing" that Functionism was spreading in pre-Great-War society by removing their transformation cogs). We learn that Krok had been a part of that group prior to his joining the Decepticons. I don't know if such a backstory could retroactively apply to other versions of the character, but it would explain why we never see him change into anything despite not having a chance to get exposed to the official Action Master-making Macguffin in any of his fiction appearances (save, perhaps, the commercial animation).All of which is to say: Yeah, they got their spotlight, of a sort, but exclusively in the Marvel comics from 76-80 and ReGeneration One.
Yes. The point of Regeneration One was to continue from where Marvel G1 left off at Issue #80 and act as if it never ended and never had to come back as Generation 2, hence the first two issues of Regeneration One being Issue #80.5 and #81.Was Marvel’s G2 Transformers ignored in Regeneration One?
Yeah. And by 1987, TV networks were more interested in DuckTales and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Transformers was old by then.Honestly the G1 line would've ended eventually regardless of the existence of the movie or not.

Regeneration One serves as a replacement for Marvel G2. Furman deliberately overwrote his own work with new material, complete with an all-new take on Jhiaxus and his empire.
