Why are they determined to make tfs look like crap? It looks like Teen Titans, right down to the logo. But machines shouldn't looke like that, especially if they can transform...
Such crap unknown. We basically get Cybertron Prime, Classics Bumblebee, Cybertron Ransack and two colourful lumps.
Why not just recolour them and remold them slightly, and make em into Defensor?

My initial gut reaction is to vomit, but I'm still holding out.

I guess I could learn to live with the animation IF the writing was good, but the fact that they all have emergency sirens looks like a bad omen to me.
EDIT: after reading the other thread with the plot synopsis It seems the bad omen was right. I probably won't watch this.

I myself am an animator, and speaking from that standpoint, I gotta tell ya. These designs are actually pretty f*cking cool. I so kinda wish Prowl was a police-cruiser still but hey, whatever. Bring it on.

But what about people that like watching kids cartoons and still think it will be bad?

Am i really missing something here, from promo artwork on which the toys are based just how can one then assume that these will somehow be difficult to get to transform as toys. I mean these are pictures of the cartoon, not the toys, its would be as illogical (in hindsite) to look at gen 1 animation and say 'so just how does megatron become a tiny gun, how they gonna make a toy like that??' After seeing movie bonecrusher one could be forgiven for asking how does that become a jeep type vehicle, but of course by the miracle of modern toy engineering its a commonplace $9.99 item. It doesnt take a huge leap of imagination to picture how bumblebee might transform from the pictures.

I've seen Samurai Champloo and isn't wasn't THAT well animated. It's incredibly limited with only a couple scenes that they blow their entire budget on. But besides that you have a good point.
Also, the style on this new transformers cartoon is very much like Sean "Cheeks" Galloway, who designed Hellboy:Animated as well as the new Spider-Man cartoon that's coming out on the WB soon. This style is ALL the rage right now because it has a lot of emphasis on dynamic curves and it really catches the kids attention.
I guess you could say that if you like the Hellboy cartoons they've put out then you'll probably like this.
Other than that, it's just a matter of opinion. I'm honestly not seeing the problem though.

That does not give me any hope. "Kid Friendly"
Not a good sign.
There is no hope, no hope, no hope at all.
Bumblebee looks pretty good though.
