I'm psyched!

News Credits: 10 · Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:12 pm

Oooh, sounds promising!

News Credits: 462 · Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:20 pm

OH YEAH!!! This is so gonna be COOL!!! I can hardly wait for it to air. But these caught my attention:

Episode 8: Nanosec
Bumblebee's self-proclaimed title as "fastest thing on wheels" is threatened by Nanosec, a super speedster crook on a deadly mission that could destroy all of Detroit.

Oh no. Please don't tell me BB is gonna be the next Cheetor/Side Burn/Hot Shot character. That's Hot Rod's job, not Bumblebee's.

Episode 26: Black Friday
Blackarachnia enlists Prometheus Black - aka Meltdown - to aid her with a dangerous experiment, while Prime & Dinobot Grimlock are force to team up to stop them.

So, Prometheus Black and Meltdown are the same person? Better fix that on transformers.wikia.com

One more thing, the forums aren't working.

I'm 27. I grew up with Transformers, I have every episode damn near memorized, and to me, this looks like the best of all worlds. I have a feeling I'm going to love it. Because it's something I could sit down with a kid and watch, just like my dad sat down with me every Saturday morning. Transformers isn't for my generation anymore, and I can live with that. I've still got a six year old part of me that's cheering his heart out about this. ^_^

I don't like how easy it sounds for the humans to take control of the Transformers, but the Headmaster part sounds cool!

I actually saw the commercial for the Dec 26th premier tonight on Cartoon Network.

These plots sound so G1. You know, the corny situations where everything goes wrong for one team but ends up w/everyone laughing at the end. And of course, Megatron tries his grand master plan at the end of the season. If it's a good cliffhanger like BWS2, then I'll like it.

Headmaster is a human Villain, so you guys really do not want a figure of him...

Read all of these earlier, but I ams till impressed with the single self contained episodes, it will be a nice change in Transformers shows.

mising leader meagatron??!!!!! this is to much like the movie. cant they have some originality here!

Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:25 pm

episode 21 rocks!!!!

Episode 21: Velocity
Investigating a mysterious race car, Bumblebee gets involved with an illegal underground street racing circuit, which also captures the attention of the Decepticons.

Everything sounds Ok, but seeing it is going be interesting. I don't like the sound this one thoug:

Episode 15: Megatron Rising, Part One
Prime begins to doubt his leadership abilities as the Decepticons mobilize for a big invasion of Earth.

Another Hot Rod, Rodimus moment?

Anyway I can't wait to see this new Starscream, and the last episode sounds pretty cool.

Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:42 am

I agree with Dark Ops, I think this will be the best of all worlds. I've said from the very beginning that I think this show will be cool. It may not be as good as Beast Wars, but it damn well will be the best thing SINCE Beast Wars, that's for sure.

I can't wait to see Sentinel Prime and the Cybertronian Elite Guard, and I really hope we get toys for Sentinel & the Guard.

Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:50 am

I think they all sound great. It sounds character driven, and more importantly, TRANSFORMERS driven. Every single episode has bots, is about bots- and no lame pee/masturbation jokes or insulting army subplots in sight. I can't wait for BA (:

who the hell is sari and they do have really stupid titles.

Headmaster is not G1 Headmaster
this Headmaster just a mind control

Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:04 am

My interest is further picqued! I would so like to see more Cons in there, since they appear to look the coolest (and they act pretty Con-ish too!)

Starscream is pretty G1 dead-on, I think! Yay! :DANCE:

Can't ever give Megs enough air-time! :grin:

News Credits: 1 · Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:20 am

I personally think it sounds cool. There are a lot of nods to G1 here, and some interesting charecters mentioned that we have heard nothing about yet.

Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:52 am

wow this reminds me a lot of G1 I like it

Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:26 am

sorry for the triple post but have you seen this

Only two Constructicons, so we probably won't be seeing Devastator.
Quite a few human foes, aren't there?

Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:59 am

I had hopes that MAYBE, just MAYBE they could turn my hope for this series around... But then I was like "wait, Teen Titans guys AND Super Robot Monkey whatever are in cahoots?" and then had this post make my realization that this really is just aimed at li'l tykes more than anything and will probably suck for the rest of us (well, those of us who aren't blinded with fandom...)

Hey, while we're at it, lets make Unicron be a CITY eating moon and have Bulkhead make a lame line about going on diets *laugh track*

Tue Dec 11, 2007 8:01 am

Oh btw to the person who talked about a headmaster figure: I think the name is refferring to one of the many Human villains (probably has mind control like that guy from Teen Titans too...)

well maybe devastator will be a season 2 thing, or even maybe figure in megatron`s plan in the season finale as a surprise against the autobots.

Except there's like five minutes or so of footage to compare it to a series that ran 52 episodes, and all we have to go on for the bots is some figures and tech specs(which may actually be closer than they were in the past). Lockdown sounds awsome anyway.

I am intrigued by some of the episodes. Seems to be a fair share of "product placement/introduction" episodes(which could be good), but also a mix of single-shot or more story based episodes as well.

But a description can only tell you so much, I'm sure if you did a brief three-line description of say, Code of Hero, it wouldn't sound that great either.

As long as there is a nice mix of action and story, I think it'll be cool. After all, twenty-two minutes with at least half of that spent fighting, unless it's a "final or epic" battle doesn't really make for that great of an episode in my opinion, specially if the fighting is long and drawn out. Guess it's wait and see.
