Your sound effect additions actually sound more natural, like they were part of the soundtrack all along, unlike the ones on the Rhino sets.

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

Okay… THIS is how AI should be used because DANG, this looks and sounds great! You pretty much made HD versions of these classic bumpers! Well done!

[@ShinGallon]

0:40 My favorite. Sums up Grim perfectly (at least S1 and 2 Grim before they made him comic relief in S3 : P ) and the animation was on point.

[@samuelrussell1640]

I love the one were Grimlock transforms and then smashes the Deceptacon logo

[@girlgarde]

Same here, Grimlock has zero tolerance for the Decepticons. He may SEEM like he'd be a good fit for them but he hates how they attack and oppress or murder the weak. Grimlock at worst is indifferent to the weak but he isn't malicious to them.

[@cville991]

I like how each time the bumper would go from Autobot to Decepticon symbols. :)

[@liambishop496]

I remember they left these bumpers in the DVDs. I’d watch them, and whenever it got to the “…Will return after these messages” bumper, my mom and sister who were in the room would say, “Wait, there are commercials on the DVDs?” And then it would cut back to the “We now return” part…”Oh, psych.” I love these bumpers and this show.

[@Awesmic1]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@ViewpointProd]

Fucking nice! a decent sound mix! totally unexpected, great work man. Funny how the head of the insignia glows after the laserbeak Bumper

[@DoRag8]

This brings tears to my eyes. I use to humm to this song as a lil boy.

[@giansdiecasts]

Beautifully done! Always wished this level of animation was used throughout the show and not just the bumpers. Jazz and Scorponok were my favorites!

[@TF80s]

These look and sound so good. Unfortunately in my country they cut the Bumpers but watching them still makes me feel so nostalgic. I wish they'd gotten someone like you to work on all the dvd releases of the G1 series so as to avoid the hatchet job they did to them. I doubt at this stage that we'll ever get a decent release of the series...P.S l notice even most of the season 3 Bumpers had inferior artwork/animation compared to the Season 1&2 Bumpers, much like many of the episodes in season 3.

[@Nergalsama01]

Huh. You know, in my country there were no commercial breaks during cartoons. So there was no need for these bumpers and they were removed. I would never have guessed that the sound effects weren't there originally. Very good work. I also enjoy the vibrancy of the colors in these upscales. :D

[@Commander_Skullblade]

The added sound effects are amazing!!! They feel 10x better.

[@ladyrachel13]

[@DaDualityofMan]

Honestly these have been like finding a hidden treasure, these bumpers never aired in the UK and weren't included on any version of owned of this series over the last 30 years.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Holy Moly, the animators went in HARD on the season 04 bumpers!

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

@@martinefrensoquigomez7835 Yeah, it's crazy! usually AKOM is regarded as the red-headed stepchild of TF animation studios. Goes to show some of the people working there did have some promise, hope they had managed to move on to make great things.

You can tell the significant drop of the animation quality with the season 3 bumpers. I wish they stayed with the season 1 & 2 animation company.

If Hasbro were really talented they would go in and fund the deleted scenes from the movie, animat them as closely to the original footage and rerelease tf the movie as a directors cut.

[@Grim2]

1. Why animate deleted scenes when they're likely in a whatever warehouse the reels are stored in? 2. Ain't gonna be a directors cut if the director (Nelson Shin) isn't involved.
