Quick question about Transformers old movie

[deathfisaro]

Is that a shortened version of G1? Or does it pick up after where G1 TV series ended?
98 episodes is a bit too many, so I was hoping to watch the movie instead.

And, which TV series takes place between G1 and the new movie? (Or is there no correlation?)
Apparently I can't access wiki it freezes on me so I gotta ask here =P

I think the movie was in between seasons, lots and lots of characters died from what i remembered...

you dont need to know anything about transformers to watch the movie(prolly like it more)
