The kid in the top left corner had better keep both feet on the central part of his board, or they'll be sliced off by one of those 4 green lightsabers keeping it hovering. At least that looks like how it works. Maybe they're florescent light tubes, as part of the effort to make us ditch our old bulbs?

Well...this can't be as bad as the Super Hero Squad cartoon. Get those DVRs ready!

I will check it out

Just noticed: is the police car guy getting ready to kick his human buddy for a field goal? The human looks like he's ready for it, so maybe it's this show's equivalent of the old fastball special?

Or maybe they're bracing to run a race, but the blocking makes it look like the cop's right in front of the Autobot.

This line should be call The Mighty Transforming Orbots instead

New Transformers Ruscue Bots Promo Image

Not sure what a "ruscue" bot is, but it sounds dangerous.

Ruscue Bots?

Maybe...Roscoe?

the animation looks a lot better than i thought it would.

I don't like the hover board. it reminds me of the back to the future hover board & daniels hoverboard from the 1986 TF movie.

I think the hoverboard is cool, least it gets kids into cool things rather than him having an annoying robot friend that turns into a mo-ped *coughMASKcough*

I'm pleasantly surprised by how the characters look. The kid on the hoverboard is giving me a very Chip Chase vibe. I can't explain it, I know Chip isn't a part of the show, but he looks like an updated Chip....
Anyway, I like the bit of human/ TF teamwork by whom I'm guessing would be Blades with the human "pilot". I'm still looking forward to this show, hoping for a fun way to waste some time.

What the...?! Is that Marty McFly?

Will watch. Nothing will change my mind.

That was my first thought too! Though, I will probably going to give this series a try. It has a new main cast of characters that we haven't seen before (and within the last how many years)? So I'm pretty optimistic about it.

That kid in the top left corner is already pissing me off. Anyone else flashing back to Kicker?

Well, I don't hate the way they look, which is surprising to me.

Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:19 pm

Wow, chase is my favorite in terms of looks. Surprising, since I hate his toy and I thought this would rival animated in terms of toys for some reason. Eh, not a big deal. More and more excited for it every day!

Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:20 pm

Wonder why they didn't add a fembot. Shame... Always good to have Transformers become popular with both genders.

Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:21 pm

Isn't one of them voiced by a female? Now I'm compelled to check.

Ok, why did I think that?

Oh ya, and why is Boulder going all hulk-like and pounding the ground in image one? Arn't they supposed to be helpful?

Fri Dec 02, 2011 3:23 pm

3 of em all got the same visor, and it makes their heads look the same :-?

Fri Dec 02, 2011 4:02 pm

This I have to check out. It still looks adorable!

Haven't changed my mind about watching it. I want to give it a fair chance. Plus, the voice cast chosen for this show is just EPIC!

In fact, in preparation for it, I'm gonna re-watch all four episodes of the other Playskool Transformers cartoon, Go-Bots, so as to get used to the atmosphere that this show will likely provide.
