His quote about Lugnut being a big, huge Megatron kissup, well, I assume the big one is Lugnut.
Damn, I love that line-up.
I'm still a bit iffy about these designs, but I was iffy about Movie Frenzy, and he's my new favorite.

Starscream looks bloody great. Reminds me of Venger's little shadow buddy from the D&D cartoon. Megatron looks utterly nails...
Agreed.
Blitzwing also makes me think of either Mechanicles (SP?) from the tv show of "Aladdin" or the one "smart"/snobby mummy from "Mummies Alive".

Black Arachnia: Not bad.
Blitzwing: Liking the design. Looks a a soldier, which is quite fitting.
Lugnut(?): Not too found on it but quite acceptable.
Megatron: As hideos as the last time.

I agree. All I needed to see was the presentation at BotCon and I was completely sold.

I thought Clone Wars was the worst animation you could legally get away with but this looks even worse - why cant they look...'realistic'?

At first look I didn't like the looks of any of this, but that lasted about 5 minutes and I decided that the toys could certainly be interesting (looks like they could be poseable), and heck, more TF stuff to stir into the universe pot just makes it all better.

It's for the kids I think, not us really. This might be the style of art/cartoon kids go for these days.

No, but that makes me think of the Simpsons' episode where Homer sees him as a illusion/guide.

Firstly, this type of animation sells shows to kids (and perhaps more importantly, teens seem to like it too).
Secondly, cartoons aren't supposed to be realistic. A cartoon is an exaggeration, a caricature. Yes, there's a place for hyper-realistic animation, but a mainstream cartoon targeted towards a young market isn't it - if they're following the Teen Titans model, which they seem to be, I'd estimate a primary target audience not much older than 9. The trick is in making it 'cool' enough to also appeal to teens and yes, maybe even to older fans as well.

It's not that I don't like the movie look, it's that everybody else in the damned show has a human look to it. But Megatron, seems to be wearing a wreath of metal spikes around his head.

I hear that Megs is in his Cybertronian design there, which he'll keep for the first season and then switch for an Earth design. Maybe ol' bucket head will be back?
