You're forgetting Beast Wars/Machines, which not only featured the best tv cgi of their time but are aslo superior to the CGI and story in E/C.
Plus this show never claimed to be G1 or movie verse, all we knew about it prior to this was that it's CGI, had Cullen and Welker, a couple of character names and what Bumblebee looked like.

Um... it's not claiming to be G1.
They never said that.
They said G1 is their biggest inspiration, but they never said it actually had anything to do with G1...

Are they saying that SOME writers don't research their subject matter thoroughly before writing their stories?Or is that they just don't care about what came before? Or is it a case of wanting to do something different? TF:A was the best yet at explaining all of these different viewpoints, what a success! It just needed a more teenager-focussed artwork style!
Again, they never said that. You're just reading too much into what they said.
I think they're just trying to reassure the fans that this is being made by people who get the franchise, just like mainframe ad the TF:A guys etc.

About 3 seasons. 4 if they go for the shorter length seasons that seem to be popular right now.
About the same as animated and the Beast Era.gigazarak wrote:Well that's a given! Who cares about those international viewers!? Besides, there's only ONE way people from outside of the U.S. of A get their TV. Yeah, I think you know what I mean.![]()
Um, they probably care a great deal since this is where a lot their revenue will come from.
They probably just haven't finalised it legally yet, and as such cannot comment.

On the other hand... Beast Wars![]()

I didn't forget the Beast era, I just didn't mention it.
I don't think I'm wrong for mentioning G1 in the context of someone putting it out there that G1 is being adhered to in some way, I guess that's where all the arguing comes from is in the misinterpretation of "news", I apologise if I went too hard on the G1 topic.
It's always easy to blame the poor old Energon and Cybertron series, but they were re-dubs of Japanese series! They were NEVER intended to be translated into english, as far as I know. I watched the original Japanese series, and never completed watching the American dubs, the originals make sense from a Japanese culture point of view, which means that the translation to english should never have been done. But I agree, the storylines of those series, Japan or otherwise, don't hold a candle to the writing in the Beast Era. CG is arguable, but I won't bang on about it anymore.

I knew most of the info regarding Prime but I didnt know it was going to be 65 episodes I knew that the 1st season was going to be 26 episodes like I previously stated before.
I even said Susan Blu was back as voice-director anfd would be a possible voice for a character however I didnt know that Arcee would be returning in it but since this is bases on the movies I kinda of expected it.
Now since the series is 65 episodes it will be about 3 seasons long.
News Post wrote:Goal is around 65 episodes to offset the cost of creating the CG models
On how they will break up these episodes I have a theory on this. The 1st 13 episodes will air between October to December or Jan. Then the rest of the 13 episodes will air that summer in 2011 sometime cause 13+13= 26. unknown how they will break up seasons 2 & 3 or when they will air my guess for Season 2 is Late Fall 2011.
I also stated that this show would be in complete CGI similar to Beast Wars but better and more sophisticated that that was also the tech has improved since Beast Wars aired so expect considerable changes to the looks in CGI.
There will be humans in Prime but only in certain episodes and not as much thank god for this Transformers is about the bots anyways not Humans although humans have a role in the series at times they could easily make a series without them in it and this has been proven before.
I posted info regarding Prime through the news section on Seibertron.com but since I couldnt post my proof they never posted my findings on Prime.
I got everything regarding Prime correct but I didndt know about
Clffjumper
Bulkhead
Arcee and her being just 1 single Bot
Megatron looking G1inish and being a Jet
And Opitmus transformation & look
I did know
Megs
Starscream
Optimus
BB
Ratchet
Gen.Fowler
Was in the show we knew about Ratchet & Gen.Fowler for months but unknown what role Gen.Fowler will play my guess he will be a NEST Commander or a high ranking military commander who 1st meets the Autobots.
I guess you people should be paying closer attention to what I say cause I am now 2 times right 1st on Animated now with Prime.
Instead of dogging & bashing me you should be thankful I take the time to research these things I spent countless hours reseaching this.
I cant provide proof cause my reseach comes from all over the place from various sites such as my research on Animated did.
I been doing research on TF 3 as well figuring out which Bots will be in the teams and more on the plot of the film.
I have some info regarding TF 3 until i get more info on this I will keep it to my self for right now until I am 100% sure on this I dont wanna get hated on for sending false info on the movie.
But I been right so far on Prime and others I wanna keep my track record good.
I will send more info on Prime if I come across any I am also suprised we didnt get a full trailer for Prime I was sure they would cause Animated debuted at Botcon I was hoping the same on Prime.
I guess we will have the trailer in another month or so I hope it worth the wait.

They where intended to be aired in the US as they where co-produced and ordered by both Takara and Hasbro, Armada was even rushed in terms of animation since Cartoon Network didn't want to wait too long to air it. Studio GONZO the guys that made Cybertron worked closer together with Hasbro's design team than with Takara's. The only Japanese TF shows which where never intended to be translated, dubbed and aired for the US was The Headmasters, MAsterforce, Victory and RID, everything past RID was both Hasbro and Takara making a show for both markets.
AutobotJazz wrote:I am definitely excited about this series. Seeing the developing artwork was nice and hearing that Cullen/Welker are working together again was a joy to hear. Cullen spoke very fondly of him during his panel and it was nice to hear that he enjoys working with him. Good chemistry like that should produce some good voice acting. Can't wait to see more news roll out on this series.
gigazarak wrote:Yeah you'd hope that the voice actors being "in-tune" with one another would help things along, but I'm a skeptic, I'd think the writers doing the dialogue will largely determine the way the characters interact with one another. But at least they will be happy with one another, I guess that's a plus.

Movie set the bar for Autobot - Decepticon action
Crazy awesome action
Amazed at what they have in the show
Level of CG never been attempted for TV
Show picks up on Earth
Bots and Cons have been living on Earth for a while
Group of Autobots stayed behind
Some have left
Cybertron is a bit of a husk
Decepticon activity is at a minimum
Decepticons return
Optimus Prime is leading the Autobots
Megatron returns
Group of Autobots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee (motorcycle), Bulkhead, Ratchet, Cliffjumper
Group of Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave
Exploring the characters in new and different ways
People behind the show really do get it
Currently working on the last few scripts of the first season
26 episodes initially
Everything sounds GREAT!!! EXCEPT for that Decepticon activity is at a minimum!!!
That is the only thing I did not like about TFA. Decepticons are only in 7 episodes first season.
These writers are suppose to get it BUT MOST episodes in TF PRIME, the Autbots will be fighting NON Decepticon villains
