I loved that part!

How is the line being overused? Prime said it in the movie and again here. I don't recall it being used any other time.

He said it in TF1 too.

And in the WFC video game (twice!). And in the ROTF console video game. And in issue 12 of the Titan Transformers comic. And the first half of it was used in episode 50 of TF: Cybertron.

So, yeah, this line gets around.

Oh, I forgot about WFC and Cybertron, and the games didn't even make it to my mind, neither did the comics.

Eh, it's a classic. Sure, it sounded a bit forced, but it still made my heart smile.
Besides, isn't that what Transfans want? More G1?

More like what Geewunners/Geewhiners want. Originality can be a good thing.

I am completely in awe over this mini-series! I thought it was a wild ride and I'm excited to see the regular series. My jaw's been of the floor since it's started! I'm normally not a fan of having a lot of humans running around underfoot, but I don't mind the kids - even Miko, who I do find spunky, outlandish, obnoxious but it seems to works for her. I like the dynamic between Jack and Arcee (who is just freakin' badass!)- they've got some good chemistry going. Raf, he's the essential kid/computer-nerd/hacker-genious! So, how long have the Autobots been on Earth, how did they get there, where's everyone else? What happened? How did the U.S. Government get involved? I love backstories!

This was a really good story, and I'm really looking forward to what's in store for us next. It's not perfect, but it blows just about everything else away (ok, so maybe I'm not a very good authority on that since I haven't followed a series since G1. So?). Remember the anticipation for the next LSOTW issue? Yeah, it's like that for me. I am praying this level of momentum is maintained - because if it does, this will be epic!

All in all, I like the characters - Bumblebee and Soundwave both need a voice - though Soundwave looks awesome, and a little personality is peekin' through too! I was disappointed with Cliffjumper's demise - I'll admit it because I love The Rock. I think the catch-phrases are fine - it's all a part of Transformers lore. Megatron dead? Highly unlikely! He's just gonna come back meaner...and he was already just deliciously evil! I liked the score - does anyone know if it was composed by the same guy who did Star Trek? It's dark and that's what we've all been saying we wanted - and this turned out great!

I've just seen ep. 5: God damn, Rumpelstiltskin is getting really annoying (hell, he is more annoying than the japanese humans, including Kicker). When the humans arrived in the autobots base, and Prime wanted to go the space, I hoped they'd go with them to breath vacuum.

[serious]There are a lot of close-minded turns in the show: in ep. 4, when Prime crawls on the rock to Megatron, what is keeping Megatron to blow or cut Primes head down? Why did Megatron want to get his army through the space bridge, when HE could have gone through the bridge, and conquer the whole universe? What is keeping a machine planet from getting alive like the lab accesory in the autobot base did? (Another twist I hoped for is that a giant hand would suddenly appear from the bridge - it would have been awesome)
Ep.4: When the autobots easily trampled through a whole ship of Decepticon drones and Starscream, why didn't they disable, or even better, steal the ship?

My rating: 6/10 - the writing is too close-minded, but I like some of the designs (especially Megatron, I'm hoping he'll get a figure)

I loved the music and would love to get my hands on the soundtrack.

[Bradimus]

What is Soundwave's interest in Arcee? I've been wondering about that every since we first saw him interact with Starscream.

Anyone else notice Soundwave took a picture of the kids in response to Miko taking his? I'm definitely seeing a hint of what could be a very frightening personality.

To me the music had that majestic/epic movie vibe to it from the movie-verse and they like re-mastered it for Prime.

I say in Prime we will get alot of back stories as they done with Animated so expect similar in Prime. How they got to Earth, how they meet Fowler, and how they got the Missle Silo will all be explained in a flash-back episode.

This is an awesome series the humans are quite enjoyable and not god-awful like Kicker or Mishca were in Energon.

Prime is going to be sweet lets all hope it continue in this direction but we can expect some episodes to tank.

Note: This is the 1st series in Transformers not to have a opening sequenece before the start of the show it dosent have one like previous shows such as Cybertron and Animated had.

I dont see it being fixed in Prime's return in Feb probably just be like it was before with the credits and then jumps into the action.

Overall I am excited for Prime.

Saw episode 5 first thing this morning, and the first thing I must say is this. Sounwave.Kicks.MAJORASSAGE! He is like the only Decepticon to kill a human! (That dead army guy on the floor, unless I was just seeing things.) Then, after Miko takes a picture of him, he looks back and takes a picture of them, like "Got yo' bitch ass!" then flies away! That was THE single most epic thing in Transformers history. Thats the kind of TF I'd be if I was a TF, quiet, but with a subtle sense of humor. GO SOUNDVEVE!

The fight scenes are almost as awesome as the ones in the movie, I love the zombi idea, even though it's a ripoff of one of my ideas, but still.

Even with all this epic awesomness going on, I still don't like it better than Animated. I know what you're thinking "This kid is freaking stupid, how could you say that!?" Well, I don't know. There was just somthing about Animated that makes me like it more. Like the art style, the characters, the diversity. I mean, it was the first TF show to show Optimus not as the leader, but someone who rises to the rank of leader. Its boring seeing the same Optimus doing the same crap in every series. They freaking changed it up! And had original ideas that suprised us throuought the whole series: Longarm, Sari being a robot, Wazp becoming Wazpinator, Blurr, Ultra Magnus, Starscream, and Prowl's deaths, and it only had one human. And she actually helped! In Prime, there are 3 and the only one who does anything is Raff. Jak doesn't do shit. He's just there. Miko is annoying as hell and will be the one to get all the Autobots and the entire human race killed. But Sari in Animated kicked ass, she is the only "human" to ever hold her own against a Cybertronian, and thats what I liked better with Animated.
