Transformers G1 ended with Cybertron returning to a Golden Age, and the Decepticons fleeing through space in defeat. That's pretty final. With G.I. Joe I was referring to the Sunbow version. The movie was basically the end of the story (and yes I know they had an outline for a third season with Tomax and Xamot running The Coil but the series still had a sense of closure. The DIC stuff was a sequel series, and no it didn't have a proper ending. And season 4? Oh, wow. The cons are exiled to space and Cybertron is restored thanks to the human friend the Autobots made upon awakening on earth 20+ years prior. I guess I just looked into Rebirth's sequel hook ending a little too much, the 'Cons may have been exiled, but they were going to start another conflict on a different planet.

I LOVED the 2002 transformation music and would love it in the clear. Then again, the Filmation one using the theme music is iconic. I am a bit disappointed. This is a follow up to the original version of He-Man so was expecting epic orchestral synth like Filmation. If it was a follow up to the 2002 version, then it would be absolutely fine. I also miss the echoing boom in Adam/He-Man's voice when invoking the Power of Grayskull. Whatever Smith shared didn't sound as epic in terms of voice acting. I hope he edits it. Maybe it was a practice run-through to see how it lined up with the music?

Transformers, G.I. Joe, Jem, Ninja Turtles, etc. all had endings, and those were like the most famous ones. What was G.I Joe's ending? I know G.I Joe Extreme had a conclusion, and the G.I Joe movie is an ending for the Sunbow era, but what ended the DIC era? 2 or 3 clip episodes. Seriously.

The pilot ended with only Megatron having been shown to have survived. Season one ended with the Decepticons and Devastator soundly defeated. The movie ended with “let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars”. Season 3 ended with “There will be no war, today. You have earned Galvatron’s respect”And season 4? Oh, wow. The cons are exiled to space and Cybertron is restored thanks to the human friend the Autobots made upon awakening on earth 20+ years prior. Bolded is what SHOULD have been the ending of the show, IMO. That coupled with "we're all wiser now, and it's up to us to refill The Matrix with our wisdom" seemed like a perfect end. Though the US 4th season was more definitive than what Japan got, I will say that.

The sunbow cartoon didn't care about continuity, had there been more episodes of season four they could have ignored the ending entirely and it wouldn't have bern more jarring than any of the other times they've triumphed decisively and gone right back to the status quo.

Beast Wars takes place post-Autobots/Decepticons too.

What were Jem and TMNT's endings?
The Raccoons had one too, kinda sorta. The last episode involved Cyril giving Sneer Industries to Cedric. So there was one part that felt like a finale at least.
(the Problem with Power example reminds me...the fallacy about The One That Got Away! being the last episode. I do remember one cycle of Disney Channel repeats ending with it. And had that been true, boy would that be a downer ending. Though it brought things full circle, as the franchise started with Cyril Sneer trying to destroy the forest; now, he is upset at part of the forest being destroyed and he helps to bring Milton Midas to justice)
Wasn't the last new episode of C.O.P.S. the one where Nightshade reforms and her and Mace get together?

What were Jem and TMNT's endings? Finale for TMNT had them beat the final season's villain and send him to Dimension X (with the help of Krang's robot body), then Splinter saying he had nothing left to teach them because he now considered them his equals. Finale for Jem had them find the father of one of the foster children, and by the end of the episode there was a going away party that had the Holograms and the Misfits calling a truce. Had this music video too:

TMNT had 'definitive' endings for the first three seasons, usually whenever the Technodrome was vanquished. They stopped doing big finales after the third season and just had the Technodrome defeated in the opening episodes of seasons five and six, before having another Technodrome attack to conclude seasons seven and eight. The final season ended with the Turtles' 'Red Sky era' nemesis Lord Dregg absorb the bodies and powers of several bounty hunters, turning him into a mighty warrior. The Turtles send him back to Dimension X at the end, and Splinter then tells them they are equals to him and not students. Prior to that, there was a five episode arc where Shredder and Krang returned and teamed up with Dregg, so the Turtles teamed up with their past selves from season eight to stop them and send them back where they came from. That also proved to be a pretty definitive finale., but for some reason they had three extra episodes afterwards.

First action figures revealed I still have some of those figures the Four Horsemen (that’s what they were called, right?) did in the aughts. Great figures, still love those Skeletors. Wish I could’ve gotten a Hordak.

Eh I am still enjoying the Origins line.
So moving on, the Battle Armor logo is officially He-Man's logo no matter if he's in his OG harness...(kinda in line with the MYP costume)

Skeletor looks a little plain, loving that Evil Lyn though.

What we really need is a modern adaptation of the Warrior Beasts. Skullman > Skeletor

A prequel to the sequel. Also, I guess DC lost the comic license.
