I'll take the cartoony look of Animated over the backward, chicken legged, stocky, long armed, indestinguishable faced, bland color schemes that 90 percent of the movie line has any day. Way to go guys!
Exactly! I don't own a single movie toy, and with the exception of possibily the new Soundwave, I never will. I will only buy him because, let's face, Soundwave rocks, even with Chicken legs, lol.

Provided of course it leads to a series with a better style of animation, and hell, a more serious attitude.
Did you actually watch the show, or were you on of the many who decided to hate it based on it's look? The vast majority of TF: Animated's content was incredibly serious. Sure, the few episodes that dealt with human villains were a bit goofy, but they were few and far between. The story telling is very much on par with Beast Wars/Machines. Both Ratchet and Prowl's troubled pasts were quit often highlighted through the series. And with Ratchet, we got to see him severely beat down Lockdown for revenge because of what he did to him and Arcee during the war. I know I haven't seen anything along those lines since Beast Wars. Give it a chance, you'll be surprised.
What a bummer it's over for good, this show was light years beyond the schlock that was the Unicron Trilogy. Hopefully the next series when it happens doesn't suck.
Excellent points. I was one of the ones who couldn't possibly watch that show with it's goofy, "Buzz Lightyear" chins, and "goofy" animation. Then I watched a couple episodes. Far better than any of the other series, imho. Although I am pretty much solely a G1 guy, the original G1 cartoons are pretty repetitive with less rewatch value. Beast Wars' Cgi was just plain creepy.
All in all, for those that haven't actually watched all 3 seasons, do yourself a favor and watch them.
To those that asked, I believe that "Endgame part 1 and 2" were the final episodes.
