Let's put it this way: this is not news. But it is entertaining, enlightening, fits easily with our recent contributor piece of the Top Ten G1 Episodes and the existence and presence on Seibertron.com for many adult collectors. From the YouTube channel series Kids React.., and via fellow user Sabrblade, we have a six minute clip of kids no older than 12 being shown the G1 Transformers for the first time, and comparisons with some of the Paramount/Michael Bay designs and some facts from the franchise.
Some of the kids make great points about the sellable value of the repurposing of the franchise, its appeal to multiple generations, and the effect it could have on the different generations - plus this one: "I think they [G1] could still be cool today, but now that we've been exposed to the movies.. the movies look so different, and that's what we're used to!"
Warning: It'll make a lot of people feel old. For real.

aren't some of those kids too young to have seen the movie, or is the UK rating just higher?

I pride myself on being one of those people that father time forgot about. People guess my age to be mid to late 20s and refuse to believe I'm 41 years old. Now after watching these babies reactions to the real Transformers I feel old for the first time in my life. I feel so old now that I don't want to even keep up this charade any longer. I'm old and proud! I want as much distance between myself and this new ignorant generation as possible!
They should have had my 7 year old son up there. He loves the G1 cartoon because I've been watching at least 1 episode a day since 2009 (90% season ONE).

It was interesting to watch but it was also what I expected. I didn't feel old one bit BTW. I wonder what the comparison would have been if it was the Prime series as oppose to the movies?

Interesting. Though for the comparisons they should have used the G1 box art.
On a related note, I showed my 3 year old nephew and his 4 year old sister some of the first Bay movie.
At that point they'd only watched Rescue Bots which they like.
It was just wonderful to see the awe in their faces. They knew Bumblebee straight away.
I asked them if they liked it and they did. Wouldn't let me turn it off

She also says "As long as it's good."
For comparisons, they should have used screenshots from the film. Or at least the TV. The marvel character sheets are..... not flattering. Interesting how they showed the DW Prime, and all the kids said that one was better.
I loved the bit where the kid does a double take and asks "Did Megatron just turn into a gun??"

To be fair, it looks as if they only saw the introduction theme song and a few Marvel comic character scans, which isn't enough to judge G1. They should have shown them the fight between Megatron and Prime from the animated movie.

I don't know I never really contributed to this sites news until last year and even then it was mostly for movie related news.
Maybe I'm not remembering things correctly.
What I do know is that the Fine Bros manipulate people to have similar opinions to themselves you can tell their either trying to make G1 look bad or their really crap at researching.
Edit: they did the same thing with my Little Pony on Teens react oh boy how furious I was that day.

To be entirely honest, I don't think G1 comes off bad in this video at all.
And all the kids make some really interesting points on the generational difference between then and now, and TRANSFORMERS that TRANSFORM vs the movieverse aesthetics - I dunno, I felt it was very neutral overall, and a good insight into the current target audience of the franchise (movies aside).
The statements about money and remakes! SO ON POINT

What I found most interesting watching this video was how the children of today are not as oblivious to marketing like I think my generation (born in 1985) was. Sure most of them didn't know that there were transformers before 2007 and that the property was a toy line first, but once they did they seem to quickly put the pieces together pointing out such things as the fact that remakes are an attempt to cash on people's nostalgia.
Other than that..

And this is why I made sure my son saw the G1 Cartoon and Movie LONGGGGG before he was exposed to the Bayformers. As for the new movies, I enjoyed the explosions but could never get over how ugly every transformer was. At least Peter Cullen was there, my favorite part of those movies.

I can compare to this. My first exposure to transformers was the 2007 movie, and it was only around DotM that I began looking back to G1, Beast wars, Armada and not until 2013 that I looked at any comics. I fell in love with the movies, and I like how each iteration is very different. It gives a new feel, which I like.
I do agree that they should have used other comparisons, like movie 1 Optimus instead of movie 4, like they did with Bee. And they should look at other media, not just 2. Prime, RiD, and the IDW comics would have made good comparisons too.
Overall, this was good and I liked it.

Yep, agreed. I don't think any of their videos are made to make one thing look better than another and I certainly didn't get that out of this video. They never once said anything negative about G1 and even said that our generation loved it when we were kids.
I think what people are forgetting, however, is that these are "reaction videos" so of course they're going to optimize the kids' reactions by comparing character designs that couldn't be any further apart. If anything the kids seemed to really like the G1 look over the movie designs and how they actually looked like they could turn into something. I guess if you went in expecting the worst that's what you'll get, but for me I'd say the kids actually appreciated the originals more than they usually do in these videos.

Comments that put G1 in a positive light:
"Oh yeah, throwback!"
"Transformers... The song's catchy, I like it."
"Okay, this time I like the old one."
"The newer one looks like a viking."
"The new one doesn't look like a car at all."
"And that one actually makes sense." (referring to G1 Optimus)
"They shouldn't even be called Transformers. I mean, look at them, they're just evil-looking robot guys. Back then, they really deserved the name Transformers."

It depends on your generation. In the very early 80's when I was a kid, there weren't many channels or different shows to watch. So we grew up watching EVERYTHING from the 50's on up. Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Heckel and Jeckel...all of these were 20 years old or more but were still in syndication. That being said, I definately prefered Bravestar or Silverhawks to Heckel and Jeckel

Well I got a solid few laughs out of that. Sabrblade's bullet points were pretty much the exact same quotes I would pull from as well as being my favorites from the video.
I was actually surprised at how mature some of their responses were, totally not what I was expecting when you pitch the idea that kids under 13 are gonna watch and compare the '84 cartoon to the modern stuff.

Oh, Kids React Kids. You always make me laugh. And cringe. At the same time.
Honestly this video was about what I expected. "OH MY GOD THERE WAS A CARTOON?" (speaks to how well the current cartoons hit their market) "Wow the old ones look bad"
But what broke my heart was favoring new Bumblebee over G1 Bumblebee. Although yeah, they should have used animation stills instead of bad comic art.
Oh, and "He (Optimus Prime) would never have a gun!" Kid, he transformed his damn arm into a gun more than once. He has a trailer full of guns. It's not all face-slicing all the time.

Every fan should know there are cartoons. G1 still holds up pretty well when I first it

Such a nice video:) It's really interesting to hear what modern kids may think about G1 transformers.

I grew up with Nickelodeon and Nick@Nite... I loved I Love Lucy, Bewitched, and the Facts of Life just as much as the Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, and Beast Wars.

how did we react to watching your parents old shows
compared with the newer ones we watched as a kid
although interesting this doesn't prove anything new
It depends on your generation. In the very early 80's when I was a kid, there weren't many channels or different shows to watch. So we grew up watching EVERYTHING from the 50's on up. Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Heckel and Jeckel...all of these were 20 years old or more but were still in syndication. That being said, I definately prefered Bravestar or Silverhawks to Heckel and Jeckel
