The Energon Pub

Just what I was fearing might replace Animated when the movie simmers down... a shoddily animated movie-verse inspired show.

What's up with Cyclonus all hunched over like that and acting creepy?

What's up with Bumblebee acting like Energon Ironhide and with weapons like Animated Soundwave?

What's up with Megatron and his fusion cannon he makes by fusing his arms together? That's not why it's callled a fusion cannon.

If this is what is coming up next for a TF cartoon I hope they clean it up a hell of a lot more beforehand.

Primes speech at the end was hilarious

That was great in a truly hilarious way. I particularly loved when Optimus burst out of a could of smoke with an axe - "Your confidence coulds your judgement," he says incredibly calmly - and hits a blank-looking Cyclonus.

Didn't anyone find it odd that Megatron and Cyclonus were trying to protect the fuel while Optimus and Bumblebee were only too quick to blow up the gas station to try and kill them. Kind of backwards. I liked it.

...wait a minute. I'm sorry, which bit of this was better than Animated?

The amateur voice-acting? (Actually, I take it back, amateurs generally at least try to make it sound like they're not reading off a script.)

The animation that looks like cardboard cutouts moving around?

The horrible cliche-filled dialogue and plot?

The awful-looking hybrids of movie and G1 designs?

...Cyclonus was cool-looking. That's about it.

I realize it's just a (very) cheap diversion, but... wow. Can't we just get more Animated shorts instead? Those were at least good for laughing with rather than at...

This was the funniest uninentionally funny thing since Chrstian Bale's On-Set freakout.

I feel bad for everyone involved with this cartoon. Especially the guy who financed it.
