This early-1990s series consists only of Generation One cartoon episodes rebroadcast with a smattering of CGI animation laid on top of them. The most extensive change was the intro, which had been entirely replaced with CGI footage also used in a contemporary toy commercial for Optimus Prime and Ramjet. This was the only change in content; all the other CGI additions were related to the "Cybernet Space Cube," which only overlaid intrusive, noisy graphics, most often during cuts and scene transitions.

  • This early-1990s series consists only of Generation One cartoon episodes rebroadcast with a smattering of CGI animation laid on top of them.

This was the only change in content; all the other CGI additions were related to the "Cybernet Space Cube," which only overlaid intrusive, noisy graphics, most often during cuts and scene transitions. The episode choices and airing order were haphazard. Sometimes this appeared to be the result of concurrent product placement being prioritized over the original narrative, but sometimes there was no discernable reason at all. While the show managed to last through a second season, it never caught on like the original run. Fan reaction at the time is difficult to determine, since the fandom had only barely begun to coalesce, and Internet records (such as they were) are spotty. Certainly this had been the sole opportunity for many fans to see the bulk of the episodes again, since the original series had stopped airing years earlier, and only a handful of episodes were available on VHS. However, DVDs and Internet piracy have since filled that gap; the only lasting effect the G2 cartoon has had among modern-day fans is the term "Cybernet Space Cube" becoming synonymous with cheap, annoying, useless gimmickry.
