Cool stuff! The animation isn't looking that bad, and I'm pretty hopeful for the final product. It's cool to finally see Bulkhead in action (almost), and he's looking good as always!

Am I the only one who gets an "Incredibles" feel from this? I was pretty skeptical at first, but it has potential.

Looking pretty awesome, hoping for some good dialogue, give the animation some soul.

I thought this was a series. It says in the commercial that it is a 5 part event. Unless the first story told in the cartoon is a 5 parter and the stories continue after I don't see the point in making this. The designs are beginning to grow on me but to be honest, the animation isn't too far removed from Beast Machines (which I loved almost as much as Beast Wars). You would have thought it would have looked better.

I'm sure it'll still be better than the Beast Machines animation, its already a lot better than the 3D models in beast machines, much more texture and shaders being applied.

People you are confused on Prime here let me clarify this so you can understand

Rising Darkness is a 5 Part opening pilot then the series will continue on with the remainder of the 26 episodes in season 1 with a total of 65 episodes mentioned so far which could be about 3 or 4 seasons if my caculations are correct.

Rising Darkness prt 1. - 11/26
Rising Darkness prt 2. - 11/27
Rising Darkness prt 3. - 11/29
Rising Darkness prt 4. - 11/30
Rising Darkness prt 5. - 12/1

Also GI Renagdes will be a 2 part pilot called Descent

This is the 1st time sense G1 that a episode has been over 2 or 3 parts that being the 5 faces of Darkness in G1 Season 3.

Actually, didn't they list the air dates for all five parts of 'Rising Darkness' to be on the 26th? I'll have to find it again, but I was pretty sure it was going to be aired in a 2 1/2 hour block.

Well, Cullen is the one and only true Optimus Prime's voice. I don't think that he get's to choose the lines that Optimus says. Anyway, without Cullen's voice Optimus wouldn't be as good as he could be. And that again would down the whole series.

'Cause lets be honest. Even if the character model and it's animated actions would be cool or good, the voice is also important. For example: could you imagine Movie-verse or Animated Megatron with G1 Megatron's voice?
