the theme song is pretty catchy and fun.
Age of Extinction Grimlock keeps showing up in cameos and it is really pure fun.
The one episode that is a Hamilton parody is also a ton of fun.
Overall, I am loving it!

My favourite episode is when they play with the phone.

Sabrblade wrote:Just finished it. People have compared this show to The Amazing World of Gumball, a show I didn't watch. So, making a Transformers version was probably a good way to get me to watch a show like this. I found myself really enjoying it, more than I thought I would. The writing was really charming, clever, and at times downright hilarious. My favorite funny moment has got to be when Kikmee increased Dave's robot-dinosaur order quantity to 1000 right before he was instantly charged for that many. I lost it at his tidal wave of panicked reactions.![]()
I was also very surprised to see that there was an actual ongoing storyline with various plot threads continuing from episode-to-episode. The Lost Bots' quest to get back in good graces with the other tribes, Dave's attempts to uncover the truth of the BotBots' existence, Spud Muffin's gradual descent from arrogant jock to villainous schemer, all of these were given room to grow and develop over the course of the season. That really kept my attention and made me want to see where the story would go and what the payoff would be. Of course, the end result was predictable, but also apropos to the kind of message this show was trying to convey.
Clogstopper's gross-out humor didn't bother me too much, since it was less on the disgusting level of Revenge of the Fallen and more like Captain Underpants. Though, speaking of the live action movies, the very end of the season leaves me wondering if the universe of this show could be considered a Movieverse universe, since something very integral to the Movieverse pops up in the final episode. And there are a lot of live-action images shown throughout the show, soooo... maybe? I mean, not every Movieverse universe is in live action: There's comics, novels, and web cartoons too.
Overall, this was a fun show.
Fine by me.william-james88 wrote:Everyone here ok if I use their words in a review roundup?

It's probably a similar case to how Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy still haven't come to Japan either. It may have to do with the toylines of these three series having not been released at Japanese retail. The Netflix War For Cybertron Trilogy got dubbed in Japanese and had all three Siege/Earthrise/Kingdom toylines sold in Japan. Takara may not see the point in having these three non-war series dubbed in Japanese if they aren't selling the toys over there, which could be the very roadblock keeping you from watching all three of them legally on Japanese Netflix.primalxconvoy wrote:william-james88 wrote:Everyone here ok if I use their words in a review roundup?
As long as you include info about Botbots not being available in all regions, such as Japan, then yes. I have included two screenshots; one is a search for the show via the Netflix app in Japan and the other is from an online conversation I had with Netflix customer service.
I can't confirm if the UK and other regions got the show (as the staff seemed to believe that only the US got it?) but from the, ahem, "3P" sourced episodes, it appears the show was translated into several other languages (although that might just be a reflection of multiculturalism in the US/UK/etc).

BotBots is produced by Entertainment One and animated by Boulder Media Studio. Netflix just distributes it.primalxconvoy wrote:I understand that, but as it was seemingly a Netflix-produced show,

But what makes more sense: airing a series in areas that actually have merchandise and an installed user base already, or airing it worldwide and see what happens?
