I don't mind him in Cyberverse but something sounds off about it here, to me. It's probably the setting.Sabrblade wrote:It is? Oh, nice.

Yeah it's the guy who voices Prime on Cyberverse.

Less reliance on the past. It has been nearly four decades and there have been massively successful series that prove rigid devotion to G1 isn't needed to sell Transformers. The franchise sells itself if the writing, marketing and design are upto the challenge. Less Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee etc More Bulkhead, Hot Shot, Rattrap and all the other New characters that have been successfully launched in the past few decades.
It is funny, to look at the Takara Series, they did just that back in the late 80's. Culled all the old faces away. As I've said before it is really odd that in a franchise that is 36 years old, some people are far too fixated on the first three years. Does James Bond stick to revamping the Sean Connery era? Does Doctor Who fixate on the First Doctor? Does the Gundam franchise stick to Mobile Suit Gundam? The X-Men on the Original Five? No is the answer to all those things and these series have been around a lot longer than Transformers.
TL:DR Respect the past, but don't slavishly try to emulate it forever.

There's a segment of the fandom that won't accept substitutes for Cullen and Welker. While I don't personally have that opinion, with the amount of potential eyeballs on this series I think it's a misstep to not cast them. Also see: they spent all their money on the animation.
Keep in mind that it's also a different animation studio. Whereas Machinima used the (legendary) Tatsunoko Production to (poorly) animate the Prime Wars Trilogy, Rooster Teeth are using Polygon Pictures to animate this trilogy.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:ScottyP wrote:I don't mind him in Cyberverse but something sounds off about it here, to me.

At least the initial look looks significantly better than the Prime Wars trilogy I'll give them that

Where is this coming from? No one said anything about either a new show or CGI being bad things in and of themselves.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:I don't see the problem with another animated cartoon?

It was also 17 years ago.ZeroWolf wrote:Also there's plenty of short 2D animation, I mean the original clone wars cartoon was 3 minutes long an episode! And was in 2D all the same. Just because something is in 2D doesn't make it better.
