I agree, if they could release a toy line aimed at kids for aliens then they can make an adult series of TF's proper evil and deep and ****!!!
It's only fair I say!!!!!

I know! Why don't they do a PG (Violence and some laguage) version of a Transformers series?
Because the last time they did, Hasbro took heat for killing Optimus Prime and having someone drop the s-bomb, that's why.
lol! Yeah man, I still remember the collective gasp in the theater when Spike's expletive went down. Good times!

hopefully who ever is in charge of the new cartoon/toys (if there even is such a person) will be flapping around saying 'quick, get some of the real drawings online and show 'em what its supposed to look like'. I personally dont care for the animations, as long as there are toys to buy, you never know, the toys could be cool, i think its WAY to early to be trashing this just yet.

Well we're living in a different age than back then! Back then they wanted every show to be warm and fuzzy! Thats what its all about now : Tragedy, Violence, and drama!

The adult anime (like on Adult Swim) can be some good drama.

Sweet jumping Jehoshaphat. Any hope I had for Transformers and this tv series is now gone. I never thought I'd say this, but if the story sucks balls along with the art, I hope Transformers goes away for a very long time.

the only way there's gonna make an adult tf show is if we say something. then it'll most likely be jap anime and be on adult swim.
and then it would take forever because they would have to get ideas and alot of drwings and alot of episodes. then make commercials and then try for adult swim and then wait for a relaease date for the show. and they're not going to do it for a long time because there's a new show coming out next year. well, duh, they're coming out with a new show. that's what this whole forum is about. but they're ost likely not going to do the adult series.

I'm an animator and I appreciate many different styles out there, Clone Wars, Teen Titans, and Samurai Jack-- just about everything.
But this?
I recommend they grab the talent responsible for MEGAS XLR (there was plenty of TF references in that show!) and get them to run with a Transformers series. That would be a homerun. I'd defy anyone who'd disagree with that!
Please CN it's not too late. It takes 9 months to do an episode. Please please please

We already had a dark and deep series. It was called Beast Wars and Beast Machines respectively. Give it to mainframe like was said above and let them do a true Transformers show. No beasts this time (even though I loved the series), just regular robots.

I know what ya mean. And I was thinking, if they can make a movie rated PG-13 (and hasbro has no problem) then why can't they make a PG toon in the furture.

I think Mainframe is a good second choice to my opinion (get those MEGAS XLR guys to do it). FYI they are called Rainmaker Studios now, they got taken over.
I also went to Rainmaker recently. Reboot stuff abounds!

What's your point? Just because it was a kids show doesn't mean it can't interest adults. **** most of the storyline was above any average 8 year olds understanding. It doesn't have to be
made for adults to pull in adults.
