1984, the United States launched a series of large-scale cartoons, 16 episodes of Transformers (the first 1 season), referred to as TF. According to the American understanding of science fiction and the way to reveal the future world, with the help of high-tech production technology, this cartoon makes robots become the same intelligent race as human beings for the first time. Its grand and extraordinary creativity and magical and reasonable imagination have created a classic era in the history of animation. Transformers, a completely pure American format, caused a great sensation after it was broadcast on more than 0/00 TV channels in the United States/KLOC, and soon became famous in the international animation market.
1985, Hasbro released 49 episodes (the second season) based on the previous 16 episode. Then 1986 produced 30 episodes (the third season). From 65438 to 0989, 95 episodes of Transformers, an American classic animated film translated by Shanghai TV Station, were broadcast on China TV Station, which immediately set off a "King Kong fever" in the whole country. At that time, the "Transformers" brand toys launched in China fascinated almost all the children who were familiar with the film.
Almost all the transformers we watched were American-made transformers, but when I was a child, I watched Japanese cartoons, which gave us an illusion and was regarded as Japanese cartoons.
