I'm not feeling Prime at all..Just the animated series with the established voice actors of the original. Yaaaawn......

Yeah it certainly is missing something. And the flow of the episodes is a bit strange, like it doesn't know what to be. Is it aimed at kids? Older fans? Teenagers? I think it's trying to be too much. I hope it improves, maybe it will over time, or is that just my desperation talking?

Crap, it won't load for me. Looks like I have too keep watching it on youtube.

Oh and that page doesn't work for me either, it just endlessly loads... not surprised, I'm sure it's America only, sad. Kind of takes the "Inter" away from Internet...

Sorry to keep whining, but is anyone else utterly BORED by supporting statements like this that is on the video pages? ...

It’s the ultimate showdown when the Decepticons, aided by Megatron’s army of Terrorcons, do battle with the Autobots, with the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance.

Notwithstanding that there aren't any Terrorcons mentioned in the episode referred to, the line is just hackneyed trash don't you think? And because I can't view the video, it's all I'm left with, a bad taste in the mouth, thanks for nothing "Hubworld".

And now on to something more fulfilling! Sorry for the rant

I don't mind the story, or the voice actors, but the 'there are only 5 Autobots left' thing? Ugh.

Not to mention the all chin and no nose visual style. No amount of good storytelling or awesome fight scenes can convince me to watch a show or buy its toyline if I hate the way everything looks.

If the scope of the show were a little more ambitious, and the characters looked a little (okay, a lot) more like traditional TFs, I'd be all over this thing.

As it is, meh. I'll pass, as I did with Animated.

I envy those who can watch this show without loathing the character designs, I really do.

Well I did send you the links for a better version for the first episode. You never did bother replying to say you wanted the others.

And yep, not loading for me either. Definitely must be US only. That'll be because of the classification system. Time that thing was given a make over and made international instead of country by country.

[It Is Him]

After watching these, I only have one thing to say. Ahem...

GIM-MEH MOAR

Really? I thought most TF fans wanted Cullen and Welker back. Guess I was wrong.

I like it. Only went up to Part 3 , HUB wasn't working on mine.
Welker and Cullen back.

I'm surprised to see a character dying so fast, sets the tone, which I like.

The more adult nature of this, but those kids. What's up with Transformers pairing up with useless kids in every single show. It's like they're socially handicapped. The classic kid plugging in his USB computer and fixing things, was stupid. But of course this is a "kids" show so I'll let it pass. Always good to see Transformers on the screen.
We've been through Armada, stupid Carlos.
But I'm willing to bet that the way kids are portrayed in the movie has something to do with marketing. It makes it more appealing for kids to buy the toys or something.
they have people in lab coats
"well we found out that having more annoying characters in story makes you more money"
" Are you sure? because I can't keep throwing good writing out the window, people will get suspicious"
"Positive, it worked great in Armada, those kids were a hit"

They keep changing the character designs on us. Portraying Starscream as frail and obsessive is neat. It's a different take. We gotta move forward right guys? I would love to see a trailer for Optimus, or a bug bumblebee. But power is not in our hands. two posts down some one will say they hate bug bumblebee and like camaro. Where does it end. We know our advice is gr8 for Hasbro, and might even make the series cooler.
But Hasbro never cared about us, or about our advice. We all like to think that some executive is reading the forums, and hope to god they will have Soundwave kick ass. But it never happens. So I say screw them. let them screw it up, the second their product is unpopular they come back begging the fans for support anyways.
So I just enjoy the ride. The color of characters is probably dependent on how much paint they can afford in their factories. Instead of making sideswipe red, make him Silver and that way can use the same spray for Megatron on him.


We span every corner of this world. We are everywhere
Decepticons always reign supreme.

They are the shows only saving grace. What I meant was that they were trying to use the Animated art style with the voice actors we all know and love but it just falls flat. The design is odd as well as the character choice, I mean Bulkhead? his design screams animated all over again. BB's voice being synthizied? beat the movie horse dead why dont ya...
