It's all official Hasbro.
And it's all toylines that decides this.
The term "G1" wasn't even canon until a few years ago. It was fan created when Hasbro introduced Generation 2 in '93, as a way to distinguish the toylines.

Transformers (Original)- 1984-'91
Transformermers: Generation 2- 93-95
Beast Wars Transformers- 95-99
Transformers: Beast Machines- 99-2001
Transformers: Robots in Disguise (RiD) 2001-2003
Transformers: Armada- 2003-
Transformers: Energon
Transformers: Cybertron- -2007 (The three are commontly referred to as The Unicron Trilogy, or UT, or A/E/C for short)

Generally anything since, that's dealing with the "G1" characters, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Starscream, Megatron, Fortress Maximus, as they were presenting in the toyline that existed between 84-91 is usually referred to as "G1. This tends to include Dreamwave comics, and IDW comics. And now with growing regularity G2 characters, such as Jhaxus, and Rapido, it's growing more and more common for them to get rolled into G1, as with the IDW comics.
So, the three seaosns of the cartoon, and the movie are absolutely not G2, as they predate the existance of Generation 2 by seven full years.

And I agree with Yourfacehere. Back to Young Justice.
