I think the more I hear about Animated, the more I hate it.

But, But. It sounded cool! Until this. These episodes just screwed up everything.

Huh? I would've thought this had come up over in the official Animated site thread.... Mater of fact, I think it might have been at least in replies.

Hmmm... I'll watch a few episodes and see if it's good...

Sentinel Prime!!!!!


Bout Time and i see we might get some Constructicon and Dinobots 1986 Movie fights as well, Hopefully

wonder where Arcee and Jazz make their debut

Does this mean there's going to be at least one headmaster figure? I really, really, really, really, really wanna see a new headmaster figure.

Yeah, at first when I heard it would be done by the guys that did Beast wars I had hope, should have known anything CN (AKA lame live-action network) lays a finger on gets screwed up.

I doubt ill like the new look. I hope the stories dont try to hard to be Beast Wars like Iv heard. Its a good idea to want to be as good as the best, but not to rip it off. Beast Wars Megatron was the only real plotter/mastermind to try and conquer. The rest relied on mindless destruction, and ultimate weapons. And Prime doubting his comand and not being like the other Optimuses makes him sound to be a copy Primal in red truck gear. Only time will tell

Well even though I don't care for the new design for the Transformers, it sounds like the show may be pretty good, at least for us G1 fans.

There are a few that interest me but unless they are done right and theres as little human interaction as possible(i highly doubt it) im going to hate this series more than armada.

Wow, this is great, just great.
(That wasn't sarcasm)
Now I can't wait!

I already noticed that when i went to the site first time

this feels like the SERIES title sheet more than a 'First Season'

Sounds like an awesome season awaits us. Can't wait for the Dinobots, especially Grimlock, to tear up the small screen again. It's been far too long.

The only thing missing for me is an appearance by Smokescreen, but beggers can't be choosers I guess. Besides, there's always season 2!

Sentimel Prime? Constructicons? Hopefully toys will follow. Preferably toy that don't suck.

Sounds all good to me. Personally, I can't wait to see this new line of Transformers in action. This series has my interest more than Cybertron, Energon, Armada, RID, or Beast Machines ever did.

Sounds like the funnest thing to come out of TFTV since Beast Wars in English (I liked Galaxy Force a lot in Japanese).

Go back and read the episode list. Now tack on "And wackiness ensues" on the end of each...

cant waittt

I am there with you lets hope hes the smae idiot that we know and love

This sounds like crap man,I hope its better than what it sounds.

I have hope for some of the episodes but the figures remain hopeless for me.

85% of the time you guys are complaining about the lack of G1, and now that we get the most G1 series since G1 itself you guys complain?

:facepalm:

Honistly it fails in comparasince to Beast wars but the show seems to have a good start but the transformers them selvs are worth less
