1* CreatorBacklash: The longtime writer Creator/SimonFurman wasn't overly impressed with how ''G2'' panned out, so he eventually wrote ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRegenerationOne'' to [[CanonDiscontinuity replace it as a sequel]] to the original Marvel series.
2* OutOfOrder: How the original cartoon was treated for this series. Beyond the three-part pilot, none of the episodes (which consisted of the majority of Seasons 1 and 2, with "[[Recap/TransformersG1TheUltimateWeapon The Ultimate Weapon]]", "[[Recap/TransformersG1StarscreamsGhost Starscream's Ghost]]" and "[[Recap/TransformersG1FightOrFlee Fight or Flee]]" from Season 3 thrown in for good measure) were released in their intended order. Ending its run with "[[Recap/TransformersG1CityOfSteel City of Steel]]" as the finale.
3* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Disputed; some fans believe the series was selling quite well, but Marvel canned it anyway because it didn't meet some ''very'' unreasonable sales expectations. The toyline was a lot less ambiguous; its sales were poor from day one, and over the next two years, it became very clear Hasbro was running out of ideas, stooping as low as to make what equated to transforming ''Hot Wheels'' cars and putting cringeworthy rapping into the commercials. The entire brand's number, it seemed, was up, until ''Beast Wars'' was introduced.
