So The Transformers come on everyday in the morning while I get ready for work. I'll keep it short: anyone else notice how awful and inconsistent the annimation is? The stories are terrible too. Still it does not take away what I experienced as a kid but they really took advantage of us as kids by putting out garbage.

Inconsistent, yes. Awful, no. It's certainly not up to par with what animation has become today (for some shows), but it is far above and beyond what a lot of animation was at the time.
And many of the stories are pretty good: More than Meets the Eye, War of the Dinobots, Fire in the Sky, Masquerade, Starscream's Brigade, The God Gambit, Megatron's Master Plan, War Dawn, etc.
It's not close to garbage. Sure, it was just a half hour commercial, but there was effort put into the stories and characters.
Let's be bad guys.
