Do you have, like, any opinions of your own, or do you constantly need to ask loaded questions because you need other people to agreed with your implicit positions for validation?
Have you watched TF:TM and season 3?
Me too, but only after "Target: 2006". That story uses the Nimoy Galvatron. From "Fallen Angel" onward, it's the deranged Welker Galvatron.
But what was the fanbase reaction to Galvatron back in the 1980's.
Sure, that won't attract attention from the 1980s Neighborhood Watch at all.
My confusion stems from the idea that the OP seems to assume that, had Season 3 been of better quality (or had better ratings?), we'd have gotten a full Season 4. I'm not at all confident that such would have been the case. Once a few seasons of even good cartoons are in the bag, it's pretty customary for the folks with the money to say "that's enough. Let's move on."
That reminds me. How exactly did Ninja Turtles end up running for a whopping 10 seasons, far longer than any of its fellow 1980s cartoons?
I think TMNT, at its peak, was higher and lasted longer than Transformers. Transformers pretty much peaked at 1986 with the remainder of its run riding that momentum to its conclusion in 1990 (with season 5 being a glorified repackage of older episodes). TMNT was basically THE top action toy brand from 1988 until around 1992. And like The Real Ghostbusters (which itself had over a whopping 150 episodes), it was being run in both syndication AND network which required more episodes than a pure syndication production would be able to produce.
What was it that Made Galvatron insane?
