I dissagree.

The exaggerated proportions helps create a sort of character following a certain role. Sentinal Prime is Ultra Magnus's bodygaurd in this continutiy family, so, they decided that a sort of artitypical bouncer would work best. Ratchet is a battered veteran, so giving him a bit of a pot belly and his crest wing broken off helps us relate to the steriotypical character trait. Optimus Prime is the leader of this rat-tag group, so he appears to have been given jockish proportions, to come off as a strong leader figure who is in charge, but somebody who's not really up to the job of bigger and better things just yet. Prowl is a reserved and calm ninja figure, so his slim figure (So to speak) and actions in the show help ephasise that.

And you are correct, the characterisics in the designs are well placed.

The concepts are great, no doubt.

However the execution of said concepts lacks the quality that these concepts deserve.

I understand the simplistic idea, but over simplifing even that has left us with very crude and somewhat insulting designs.

I like swoops robot mode though i wish i could see his face. His alt. mode looks like something you would see in a Hannah Barberra Flintstones cartoon it made me laugh! :lol: That's one thing i was pleasently surprised about the cartoon that it did have me laughing at some of it's witty, silly, unpredictable childlike humor.
