There is nothing artistic about it, just cheap. The human character designs are exceptionally bad and have a 'Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy' feel to them. Overall the episode was okay but fails to produce any sort of geek fan boy reaction.
That was my same reaction. There was nothing impressive with the animation. Don't get me wrong, I know they are trying to appeal to a new generation of fans but after the smash hit movie this is what we're presented with?

However after they reach Earth things begin to get boring real quick with their first confrontation with this nanotech monster thing which frankly lasted way too long.
The point at the "Nanotech Monstes" is where I started drifting off into slumberland.

Sari failed to win my affection upon introduction. The annoying-over-protected-loner-kid of a super-genius-scientist... The kid that has everything handed to her on a silver platter but doesn't have friends. Now, she's got giant transforming robots as friends... Wow, lucky kid. Why not have Richie Rich as a guest sometime.

Overall, I am neither disappointed nor excited. It is very unlikely that I will be collecting any toys from this series.
Fan reactions... So far, from what I've heard the reactions are much like that of "X-Men 3". Most of the praise has been mostly about nods to G1, BW and a few of the other series, Starscream's voice and the size of Megatron (there's a bad joke in that last part). Very few talk about the storyline or the whole "superhero" direction the characters are being led on.
I'm totally all "GO" for a reboot of anything but this one seems just as rushed and flawed as what we've seen since the introduction of the latest Japanese shows.
I would've loved to see animated versions of the movie. If anyone recalls "The Real Ghostbusters" and the "Men In Black" animated series. In those series the movies were based off of them, even though they were created after the movies. That would've been a really good comedic episode down the line for Transformers Animated.
Again, I think most of us are so hungry for something "new" that we'll accept anything without really analyzing it.
Spectacular Spider-man is a better written, better animated show and has a better theme song... Hands down!
I REALLY don't want to know what a "cumputer" is used for. A little one-handed web surfing, perhaps?
but it just cries out as " TOO PLAYSCHOOL LIKE " and thats not neccessarily a bad thing but I will keep tabs on this show and see how it goes 
Like someone else said, this animation isn't even as good as Teen Titans and Ben 10. 
Its okay, but since I like Teen Titans and Ben 10, I was hoping that Animated would at least be as good as those shows.
