Probably the latter, but I think it looks good either way.durroth wrote:... so is this ACTUALLY bumblebee, or an ILLUSTRATION of bumblebee? I.e. is he going to be cell shaded like this suggests, or is this just a drawing of what the final render might roughly look like?
They also thought Knock Out was good comic relief. And he was.Darth Jumpy wrote:The only thing that has me worried about this is that it says it is going to be a more comedic series. While I do enjoy silly takes on Transformers, the Prime people thought that Miko was good comic relief.

Animated has a very specific, very distinctive style that anything resembling it would only be other cartoons designed by Derrick J. Wyatt or things specifically intending to emulate his style.
Based on that Bumblebee art alone, this just looks like the typical, nonspecific cartoon style used by the 2D cartoons of today.
This doesn't look anything like Animated, this looks like Prime drawn in the generic style of the 2D action cartoons of today.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:EEeeeeuuuuuggggggghhhhhh...
That looks horrible. I skipped Animated for toys entirely, I pretty much ignored the series until it was over and decided to watch it (thankfully it was short). I was kinda hoping that the new series was going to look like Prime but kinda play out like Animated (the overall story in Animated, not the individual stories). It's looking like it's going to play out like Prime and look like Animated, which I think is the worst thing they could try. I'll still check it out because I can always be wrong, but sadly I'm going into this with a tainted viewpoint.
At least it isn't more japanimation.

Doesn't that mostly stem from the overabundance of his toys rather than his fictional appearances? I mean, he was pretty downplayed for the most part in Prime and was only a three-episode guest star in Rescue Bots. So his being important here is kind of a new thing, cartoon-wise.kirbenvost wrote:ike most everyone else I suffer from Bumblebee fatigue but maybe this can change his recent characterization for the better.

How is Morocco a "childish" human villain? He's brilliant, cunning, and knows how to twist and bend the law in his own favor. He even won in the latest episode, getting away with everything and preventing anyone from interfering in his plans. Every underhanded thing he did was legal.Windsweeper wrote:Rescue Bots suffered from the same problem, to me at least, as Animated. Great Transformers characterisations but childish situations/ human villains.

I would gladly take ten Nanosecs or Mastersons over one Raf! Human villains are much better than human protagonists, and human protagonists are only good when they turn out to be transformers! But it would be nice to have a series with no humans in it.
