So Transformers Prime is only a 5 part mini series?

So, what you are saying here... is that you want children to perform analingus on you?

no, it premieres with a 5 part mini-series eventually following with the full on series. no different than the 3 part mini-series that kick started GI or the 5 part one for the original G.I. Joe.

I don't like Prime's face.

Thats not what I'm saying at all.

A) It's called humour
B) You should really choose better expressions

hahaha...... anal

The only reason I could not watch Animated was cause of the faces. I just could not get over how odd they looked to me. Now I see that Prime is going to have faces that kind of look like Animated, so that makes me disappointed. I'll give it a try tho, I have to.

CGI doesn't look too bad. I like the closeup on Prime in truck mode with the mud & dirt spray, and the reflections in Cliffjumper's face on his closeup. Lighting and shadows look good too. But I don't really like the faces much (which I don't think look like Animated at all) including the human ones.

Still not liking Starscream's design, even now that we've seen it in motion.

Also, in the other video, the Decepticon troopers already look completely non-threatening & ineffectual, after Arcee runs at them for thirty seconds while they fire ineffectually and then she no doubt proceeds to kick their arse.

Still, hopefully the writing will be good like Animated or Beast Wars. It seems like they're spending some cash in it to get some good talent, so hopefully they hired some good writers too.

It looks good to me. If it comes out in the UK, I'm sure I'll watch it. Starscream looks very strange, though.

Dammit...why must it be CG graphics ??? I hate CG graphics !!! I wanted a cartoon !!!

Looks pretty cool! And I think I've figured out what the series is about. At 0:48, Cliffjumper is seen standing in front of a series of blue crystals....energon anyone? So it looks like they discover Energon on Earth, Megatron finds this out, and suddenly Earth is once again stuck in the middle of a war of giant robots.

I'm sorry, but the more I watch it the more I begin to hate how it looks. I'm usually never dissapinted with Transformers! Its very rare. I cant believe I'm saying this but...they done f*ked them up! They screwed up Transformers! They're ruined for ever! There is no hope! There is no hope!

I really hope this crap isn't rendered to it's fullest. They still have about a month, maybe they can get it all done by then, because the CG looks like turd. I'm sorry, but it does. The sky is the same color in every clip, the backgrounds have no tecture at all, the kids look annoying as all hell, I mean, please for once, can we not have kids in Transformers? Whats the point? Whats the freaking problem with having adults as the main humans? Im 15 and I'm sick of kids getting the spotlight in TF shows! Would it kill your busines to just have one show with the military? Just one series! Fix it, Hasbro! GI joe ain't got no damn kids! Why does Transformers need kids? "Oh, we're trying to appeal to the children" Oh, so thats why you allow a movie with robot balls and masterbation jokes to promote your toyline? I see how it is. Its ok as long as it's not directly made by you.

Really, I wish someone would listen to what we are saying, write this down! Store it somewhere where it won't be destroyed. PLEASE MAKE A TRANSFORMERS SHOW WITH NO CHILDREN CHARACTERS.

Sari in Animated was Ok. I applaud them for that, they sort of had the military at times, they had a police officer as one of the main humans, that is also good, but please stop making these dumbass child characters that appeal to different emotions in children. Please. Kids don't care about emotion, or connections or "more human drama than effar" all they want is for stuff to simply blow up. So stop sending us these dumbass kids all the got damn time!

That was my rant. I am sorry if I offended you, Hasbro. But please...make the **** work! Fix it, Hasbro! FIX IT!

Oh, look, another new franchise extension, another person claiming Transformers are ruined forever. Next we'll be hearing the opinions of the "true fans".

B) Yeah, I wasnt totaly serious.

I'd like to see a Transformers cartoon that does not reuse Optimus, Megatron etc.

Have you ever checked out the later Japanese series?

No, the last series I saw in its entirety was Beast Wars. Are the ones you referred any good?

Headmasters, Masterforce and Victory all avoid rehashing Optimus (Convoy) and Megatron (though Masterforce does use the Powermaster Prime body for Ginrai, he is very much NOT Optimus). They came out before Beast Wars. Also, IMO, most of the Japanese series do a decent job of making the various Convoys not feel like a rehashed exactly the same as before Optimus Prime clone, but you may have different opinions.

To be honest, without a faceplate, Optimus remind's me a bit "Red Tornado" from "Batman: The Brave and The Bold"

"Transformers" isn't right "Transformers" without Optimus and Megatron. It's like an Ice-tea on a cold winter day.

Star Saber, Deathsaurus, Overlord, Ginrai and Dai Atlas would have words with thee
