There's a few kinks there, but I'm wholeheartly embracing this, ANYHTING'S better then the Armada Trilogy. Although, I DO want Prime's faceplate back. So far, looks great!

I am s upset with this show for so many reasons.
First I still hate the designs and how there going for transformer superheroes terrible idea.
Second the teen titans animation isn't that great to begin with so combining it with these terrible designs isn't helping much.
Third I have seen the toys and they don't look fun to play with at all that and all the vehicle modes are terrible.
And with the animation I'm not just saying it cause i don't like it i actually went to college for animation and its just bad. With this show coming out and the direction its going in, people have no right to complain about the Transformers movie.

Hell yeah!

That means nothing. No one has to go to College to learn to animate. Just because you did doesn't make your opinion any more valid than mine.

Hell, I even made an animation and I never even finished High School.

What is Transformers Generations?

Do you mean Generation 1? The one that jumped the shark between seasons 2 and 3?

This looks so cool. There even appears to be a real story unlike Armada/Energon/Cybertron. The best part? It seems like they didn't give every character a ridiculous accent.

I just rewatched it and think this is a solid win. I like it more already then more then the last 4 shows.

That's because you're an adult, and it's not meant for you.

Even more so, I'm an adult, and I can watch any cartoon, notice so much about the movements, and only care about the writing.

I'm a writer at heart, you see. My friend, Tweezy, is the artist.

I have to say I was skeptical about this series, but after seeing these two clips I'm totally hooked! The Animation is a fairly standard western-anime-style as far as I can see, the frame rate seems Ok, but frankly I'd watch a stop-motion animated Transformers series made with card-board cut-out robots it if was well written and characterized, and Starscream sounded like Chris Latta!
As for Prime, I'm interested in where they're going with the character... By the looks of things he might not even be a 'Prime' at all yet, I have the feeling the aquisition of the Matrix will up his status considerably. As for his voice, couldn't help thinking he sounded more like Cullen when he had his mask on... Even if he was just grunting!
Anyhow, roll on the next six months! :-P

i like it *big thumbs up* prime seems young and naive...

interesting.

Optimus Prime has a 50 foot chin! And the fans go wild. Dumbasses!!!!

News Credits: 8 · Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:46 pm

I try to stay open minded about new things. But my favorite part of this was when the guy picked up the phone and blaocked the screen.

I have no sound on this computer, so I couldn't here anything, I'll reserve judgement till I actualy here Kaye's Optimus(something about that feel real unnatural)

But I'm looking at it, watching it, and basing this statement on everything I've seen so far...

It seems like they have some good ideas, but this animation style is just wrong for TFs. This isn't like the move(to me) where all we had where stills at first and no idea of how they would look in motion which over all was real good. Want prof, it's still running strong in the theaters!

Loose the straight line designs, the american take on the cutsie ultra deformed theory, and the gutting chins, and maybe we'll have something here.

But since they won't, my dollar and channel selection will not be suporting this in any depth.

However if you like it, I truely do hope you enjoy, and learn to ask for better and not just take what your given.

Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:47 pm

so how come prime has one huge windshield when the toys and paper ads show him with two? which is it? lol

News Credits: 1082 · Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:48 pm

That was cool. I'm glad it was shared. I will certainly give the show a go.

The big green guy is Bulkhead for whoever asked, not Springer.

It seems like they are doing a lot to try to bring things back that the fans would like or recognize from G1, and make an enjoyable show for the kids.

Perhaps you can feel it is more than Teen Titans- Mechs when you get to watch more shows in succession, etc., and learn the characters in this style.

Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:50 pm

I prefered the JAPS manga animation, it really looks like the Teen Titans style. kinda kiddie.

Both. This is his Cybertronian form.

As for the footage... I'm still torn. If I actually get to see this show, I will probably keep wincing at certain things throughout.

I might have to start taking back what I've been saying about TF:Animated. The two clips I've seen look really good. The animation is fluid, and oddly enough, the TFs look natural this way. I think I'll end up enjoying this, I'll probably even get some of the toys.

Yeah, I guess I just ate some crow.

Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:20 pm

It almost seems like a prequal to G1..

He should be called OPTIMUS, not OPTIMUS PRIME

until he finds the matrix? XD.

But obviously, i know thats all wrong, but, hey! its an idea.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:29 pm

Still think they should've simply done a carton based on the classics toy line, that would've kicked @$$, this cartoon looks way to cartoony for me, in that all the proportions are out of sync, they look more like super heros then robots, hell even the movie wasnt managed to still make them look like robots
