[Grune the Warrior]

Interesting perspective. I'm only a little younger than you (born in '84) but wasn't a big fan of the original show as a kid. I love the pacing and running narrative of this show. It makes me want to keep watching week-to-week so I don't miss anything that might be important later. The mostly-stand alone episode classic shows of the 80s just don't measure up.

I love Panthro's new appearance, as it makes him look like a grizzled war veteran. You can tell he's been through some battles in his day. With what cartoons cause show as far as war and violence now compared to the 80s, I love characters like modern Panthro. As a kid, I would have loved Cobra soldiers with tattered uniforms or Decepticons full of bullet holes, He-man covered in battle scars, etc. Now we can get cartoons like this.
