Style does not denote age. And from the intricacies shown here, the back log of info put into this shows an adherance to all walks of age. A good writer does not need to resort to gritty shock value to be 'adult.'

Titans had a rape episode among other adult nods, Animaniacs was full of adult humor, and even Foster's or JLU had pure adult implied moments.

Which of those is a direct 'adult' toon not aimed at kids?
Yet are still highly entertaining to adults, while having adult stories within the context of what looks like a simplistic 'child's story'.

Titans had a rape episode??? WTF??

....sorry, that just seems a little.....odd.

If you were a real fan it wouldn't bother you.

And if you were a real fan, you'd buy me Music Label Soundwave hehe

Though they look a bit too much like humans dressed as robots, not too bad. And hey, I even like the cute little girl...as long as she's your charming kid sidekick, not some stuck-up, sassy little tramp, heh.

The whole thing really smacks of Mighty Orbots, which I also LOVED back in the 1980s!:)

Define "real fan". Since none of us seem to know, perhaps you can enlighten us as to what it takes to be a "real fan".







*sits back half expecting to get an answer saying that since I have to ask what a real fan is that means I'm not*

A "Real Fan" wouldn't care how the series changes, and would love Transformers and each series unconditionally.

oooooh, am i too late to join in the discussion? did someone try to bait people again with the "real fan" argument? ahahaha.

i'll pass on this one. i'll be good. LOLz.

anyway, to stay on-topic:

true.dat 'nuff said.

Shadowman wrote:A "Real Fan" wouldn't care how the series changes, and would love Transformers and each series unconditionally.

I was almost about to quote for truth, but then reconsidered.

The reason why I say this is if that was the case, we'd be praising anything Hasbro decided to slap an autobot or D-con symbol or the TF brand name on.....including stuff like the Playschool Go-bots & Animorphs.

I consider myself a "real fan" yet I care about how the series changes. I don't want to see 20 years of cybertronian lore to get blasphemously ripped to shreads or even crumpled up & tossed aside for the sake of making a buck.

However, this series is doing neither. They're just drawn funny.

Which is weird, because that's what they do every time they start a new series.

No, each new series has been a new take on an old story, & have incorporated new ideas into the mix, there are some things here & there that they don't mess with. I mean for one thing, Optimus & Megs are still the leaders of their respective factions, they still hail from Cybertron, where they've been having a non-stop civil war for eons. They all still run on energon. & most of the TFs over the years have had vehicle designs similar to their original versions....like Prime being a truck, fire or otherwise... with only a few differences, usually based on style changes such as the problem we've had with Megs being a gun & Soundwave being a walkman where mass shifting wasn't applied. But even then the general spirit of the character stays the same...colorscheme, robot design....

Anyway, like I said, I would consider things like what was done with the Animorphs & the Go-bots, as mentioned earlier, to be the stuff that they just slapped the TF brand name on to make a quick buck.

I have to disagree with that last part. I didn't really care for BM, or Cybertron, but stil considerer myself a fan of TF.

You do realize I was joking don't you?

I'll say this, its look promising. Im not expecting this will set any new standards though story wise. I do like all the little nods to G1 that they threw in there.
