Well the first generation is considered a classic today among cartoon fans and is a piece of 80’s pop culture. Plus, without it succeeding, we wouldn’t have gotten this generation.
G1 had some great ideas, and is wonderfully dark on occasion. It unfortunately suffers from horrific sound editing, highly inconsistent animation, and almost nonexistent characterization (not helped by the vast majority of the cast being voiced by the same five actresses). Check out the TVtropes page, at note how most of the cast has four tropes or less (where as G4 generally manages dozens for minor characters).
It has the classic problem of the villains being more interesting than the heroes.
The Bushwoolies are also cancer of the soul.
