Armada wasn't CGI either. Energon and Cybertron were, though, and their CGI (or at least Energon's) was terrible (Cybertron's wasn't too bad).Bouncy X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But it didn't have any companion series.

there were a few one season series that came out around that time all from japan....so one of those had the terrible cel shaded animation. maybe it wasn't RID but its one of those. i think one was called Armada...not sure if thats the one but its one of that little gang.

Bouncy X wrote:digging the animation, it looks to be cel shaded CGI for the bots themselves. if so, it shows how much time is kind to technology because i remember seeing just a few minutes of the original RID (or one of the other two companion series) and the animatime was atrocious and blocky in its movement.
these guys here are smooth as butter. and if its just regular old cel animation then even more kudos to the animators!!

Is it because of how bright and colorful the show seems compared to Prime? Family Guy is even more bright and colorful than both, but that's the last thing to be called "aimed at a very young audience".YRQRM0 wrote:This show seems like it's aimed at a very young audience, but maybe I'm just getting old.

And what does "kid-friendly" have to do with how enjoyable something is for adults?YRQRM0 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Is it because of how bright and colorful the show seems compared to Prime?

That, and the facial expressions, designs of the cons, the fact that the cons seem to all be goofy looking and acting and not actually very evil or dark. Prime was on the darker side for sure, but this seems more kid-friendly than say, Cybertron or Armada.

Batman: The Animated Series was more kid-friendly than Prime was, yet many adults enjoy that.

I don't recall BTAS having gore in many of its episodes, like Prime did.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Batman: The Animated Series was more kid-friendly than Prime was, yet many adults enjoy that.
Unless you're mistaking that with Brave and the Bold, it was most certainly not more "kid friendly."

And now you're confusing Transformers Prime with Attack on Titan. When in the hell did they have gore on Transformers Prime? Note that broken robots don't count as gore, which is why it was allowed on the show.

Broken robots don't count.
Aliens having their intestines pulled out of their navels count, though.![]()

They're still living biological lifeforms with minds, wills, and souls of their own, who can think, feel, emote, and suffer pain and fatigue like we can. Even if theirs is a silicon-based physicality rather than a carbon-based one, their existence (in the show) is no less artificial than that of humanity.Shadowman wrote:Yeah, I knew ahead of time that's what you'd show me. And when I made my previous post, I also plotted out my rebuttal: Please explain to me how that isn't a picture of two robots fighting. And keep in mind one of them is an Autobot.

And I've never condoned Bulkhead's brutality in that scene. It's bad enough to see the "heroes" be so savage in the movies.

Optimus's exact words were "We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as Autobots."Shadowman wrote:They're still robots and nothing in your post actually claims otherwise. Hell, the term Autobot means "Autonomous Robot" according to Optimus.
"Now, a T-Cog isn't technology. It is biology. Which means it will reject any power source, other than energon. Energon is the fuel, the ammunition, and the life-blood of all Cybertronians, whatever their affiliation." (Starscream, episode 30, "Operation Bumblebee, Part 1")Shadowman wrote:Being biological is never stated outright in any media. (In the movies, even, recall that Megatron is specifically referred to as "Non-biological Extraterrestrial")
I never said that they weren't robots. But they aren't robots in the same sense that, say, ASIMO is a robot.So please, if you have any actual argument that the Robots in Disguise are not actually Robots, then by all means, share it.

They're still people having their innards graphically torn out of their bodies, which still counts as a form of gore, regardless of what the narrow-minded Cable TV execs think.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:They are robots
Which is why that "gore" was allowed on TV; if it's robots, it's not really gore, just broken machinery. You can argue the semantics all you like, it won't change that.

Sabrblade wrote:The folks at the CW likewise felt that it was too graphic to show onscreen, and so cut that whole sequence out during that episode's airing on that channel.
