Digitalscape Company Limited, famous for their work on such titles as Soul Caliber III, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive Paradise, look to be the responsible for CG production on the new cartoon. They're looking for 40 new staff members to help with this new project, and they've advertised on their website, as well as their twitter.

The news that TF: Prime will be CG just got a whole lot cooler.

Hopefully the humans don't look like reboot characters. However I imagine them with very short flowing skirts and breasts that take an hour to stop jiggling afer each step so this might be a good series for me. :KREMZEEK:

awww...you beat me to a DOA paradise joke...(or could you be refereing to ninja gaiden?) DOA girls are nice.... =P~

*ahem* I'm sure they will do a good job, but it all depends on what designs they have to work with, I'm not the biggest fan of that 'Bee' image.
Shame 2D animators are either being shot in darkened back alleys or production teams are too lazy to do stuff like back in the old days.

Damn Kasumi is cute.....

sorry.

There is huge difference between producing cut scenes for video games that probably don't add up to a standard 22 minute episode and producing a season's worth of episodes.

Weekly CG shows are incredibly bland and lack detail in comparison to movie CG so excuse if I'm not enthused about a Transformers show that will probably look like Penguins of Madagascar and Back to the Barnyard.

Damn it, someone else already made a jiggle physics joke? (sigh) I always show up late.

...aw, nertz. The Want-ads for the company are in Japanese, which means I'm in the wrong damn hemisphere. Maybe Activision is hiring...

Okay, come on, how old are you guys? 12? I highly doubt Hasbro's going to put that kind of junk in a show meant for kids.

And while we're on the subject, am I the only one that's actually excited for a CG transformers cartoon? It seems like every time there's news on Transformers: Prime, the comments are all negative. Sure, it's not G1. Get over it.

I, also, was being humorous, besides, if I didn't say it some one else would have! I saw my opportunity and took it. THAT'S WHAT A HERO DOES! :KREMZEEK:

Also, given that I loved Beast Wars, I'm really looking forward to the new series being done in CG rather than traditional animation, because they tried that with Animated, and it didn't work out. The only thing I'm not looking forward too (other than possably reboot-esque human characters) is Bumblebee and his Groucho Marx eyebrows. *eyebrow waggle, waggle, cigar flick*

Just because you had bad animation or rather design aesthetic in the last show doesn't mean you go to substandard CG.

I would have done the same, besides it wouldn't be the first time we saw CGI boobs in a TF show:

Lets see if they can actually make an actual CBI series look good.

Is it me or have CGI series actually gone down in quality since 2002?

High Quality CGI is both expensive and time consuming.

That's no excuse to have a new show look worse than a 10 year older one:

It being CGI is pretty cool.

I'm extremely weary of this, but if the do the story right, it could be good.

I remember that show! I had a game of it on my computer I used to play all the time. I remember to this day, in my preeschool class I said "Actian man, F- it up!" Of course I had no idea what it meant, but I still got introuble for it. That seems to be a running problem in my life... :-(

The phrase was "Amp it up!" or rather, "Check it out. Dial it in. Amp it up!"

The best was the episode with those luge things. Remember the scene where Action Man jumps over the guy and overtakes his sled in the air? To this day, my brothers and I refer to aerial overtaking as "Action Manning." :-B
