Well, this setup to be a faliure.They're gonna make Armada, Cybertron, RiD, and Energon look like great shows! More "Super rather than the "Robot"?! Yeah thats just stupid idea!!mechislander wrote:Bulkhead looks like Crumplezone!
...and Prowl is a MOTORCYCLE?! What the Hell?!
i have a bad feeling that this is gonna be even worse than the Jap series. They're probably gonna focus more on the "Super" rather than the "Robot"

Call me a G1 purist, but the animation level and design of the G1 cartoon is far superior to this.
The sad fact is that transformers are firstly japanese,giant robots and secondly have almost always been anime especially in G1's case.

I may not like the art stlye but I hope the toys are good and even better if HASBRO includes a new combiner team which have not been included recently.microclone wrote:skywarp-2 wrote:microclone wrote:skywarp-2 wrote:microclone wrote:quote: Optimus prime is a rehashed version of Galaxcy prime, just detailed down...

skywarp 2, are these guesses or do you have some inside info on these toys?
Just guessing thats all... they look so similar to toys designs that have comeout before.. don't you guys see it??
skywarp2, well of course there is a theme going on, boxy bots and vehicles but thats TF all over. Prime is a truck cab type vehicle (albeit with a watercannon/gun on top) but so have most primes and theres dozens of versions of him. id be totally suprised if these are repaints, there is zero reason to assume they will be.
uhhh sorry dude, but i wasn't being general about the designs.. if you look at prime he has the same form design as GALAXY CONVOY.. I JUST THINK IT WILL BE A RE-MOLDED LESS DETAILED VERSION.. OR WHO KNOWS SINCE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SPIN LIKE THE TASMANIAN DEVIL TO TRANSFORM, THE TOYS THEMSELVES MAY JUST BE ANIMATED TOYS OF JUST THE BOT MODES!!!
ok think I'm wrong here... then what do you think of this??
they look strikingly similar.. and there is a big difference between looking like this and every other Autobot..
Laughs... they're blocky like the rest...Laughs.. of course there is a theme going on, boxy bots and vehicles but thats TF all over....![]()
this....
does not look like
that.....
Wow!! its like they took G-01 Prime and Cybertron prime and mixed them together!!!
only time will tell. lets hope they are new toys, watch this space........

^You have no idea what you're talking about. Leave this thread, go do some research on the "Transformers", and then come back when you've learned something.

Admittedly this is all Wikipedia, so correct me if I'm wrong:
Marvel, specifically Jim Shooter and Denny O'Neil, did the original storyline and characterization used in the comics (which came first) and adapted/dumbed-down by Sunbow. Sunbow was an American production company related to Marvel only through a license-in-common. The actual G1 animation was done by Toei, a Japanese studio, and AKOM, a South Korean studio.
Basically, TF:Animated is being produced in almost exactly the same fashion, only with Cartoon Network in place of Sunbow, a different (equally qualified) Japanese studio in place of Toei and AKOM, and different writing. Seriously, there's almost no difference in the methods if you cut through all the press-speak.
All these complaints still boil down to people not liking the art style or not and stressing over the "superhero" comments. There's plenty of audience for the look. The writing will make-or-break the show.

Personally, I have NO faith in either the Art style or the Story..but thats just me.. the toy line??? well we shall see if they carry this idiotic and ridiculous Anime style over to the toy line.. but I'm telling you guys right now.. i really don't see this series becoming a hit at all...

Cartoon and Hasbro execs said the new series, "Transformers Animated," will be significantly different than the others, adding humor, never-before-seen characters and a new premise in which the Autobots fight evil humans in Superhero fashion much more frequently than they battle the Decepticons -- the traditional "Transformers" lore since the property launched as a toy in 1984.
"We've used the basic Transformers and characters as a springboard, but then we're pretty much reimagining the whole thing," said Bob Higgins, senior vp programming and development at Cartoon Network. "What we're doing with it is basically turning it into a superheroes story. We're really excited that we're able to take this decades-old property and hopefully turn it into something that kids haven't seen or expected from a Transformers series before."

come on skywarp2, ok, so theres some similariy between animation prime and GF prime BUT if you then look at classics prime cab from the front there isnt really any significant difference there either, so maybe hes going to be a repaint of classics prime with a gun atop instead of the windvane.

See "Viral" works for the studio, and hates Generation one transformers!!!
Swat Kats!! that series was cancelled a long time ago!! Get over it!! move on!!... "how does it feel, to have the same crap thrown back in your face??"
Stinks doesn't it??

Are you daft or something?? Teen Titans was completely cutsie Anime.. and had Giant Eyes/mouths and those weird Tear marks near the head when someone was confused.. Nobody here in America knows what the hell thats all about...Can you really see a transformer with big buldging eyes, and tear drops around his head.. its gonna suck!!!
I'll give you that Teen Titans had some fluid animation... but again, trying to make your intelligence more than it is, you failed to see that the complaints are not about the actual animation itself, but rather the ART STYLE and format that is being used!!!!
Do you really think that Teen Titans would be a good format to place Giant robots?? Super hero Genre is for Super Heroes.. The Transformers are supposed ot be on a level all their own!!! Its like taking the Transformers and making them into SD (Super Deformed) Gundam!! You saw how long that cartoon lasted here in "America"..
The Japanese have gundam, We have Transformers...we share, but we need to be looking seriously at Transformers as Gundam does.. the live action movie will do that, but I still think an Anime Like Gundam or CGI like Beast Wars, for a Generation One Direct to DVD series would be awesome!! Not a continuiation of the original series, rather an updated version of all the G-1 bots in CGI or superior animation..
And while I'm at it, your not the end all be all Guru of Animation, so lay off telling everyone else what to do or Think..!! This is America as you so prominently pointed out in your earlier posts, and if you really understand that, then you must understand that this cartoon, though aimed at childern, offends many a Transfan..regardless of how much you would like to see it succeed!!
I make more sense then you do, and I wager most people here don't like your idiotic comments that much..Viral wrote:Here, have an AMV of the Teen Titans.
I'd rather watch Beast Wars on Youtube:
