The official Transformers YouTube channel has uploaded a series of fun little How to Train Your Dragon spoofs titled How to Ride Your Dinobot, which tie into this summer's Transformers: Age of Extinction. Check out the embedded videos below:

Better cartoon than the Cyber Missions.

Can it beat the real movie? Let's see...

Looks like Chapters 2 and 3 are both already up as well:

Why does the animation style remind me of the upcoming show!?

Transformers looney tunes anyone? Make series out of this

Okay, this needs to be it's own series. I hope the new show is taking a notes from this one

My poor eyes!

Is it just me, or is the animation reminiscent to that of the concept art of Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers cartoon series... Ok maybe not THIS stylized, but in a similar fashion.

No, you're not the only one.

Personally, I don't see it. This is clearly more like the style of Looney Tunes while the Bumblebee design for the new show has me thinking more of something like the style of Ben 10 (er, pre-Omniverse, that is).

Now that you mention Ben 10, the new show does seem to be in a similar style, then again we haven't seen it in action but it shouldn't be too different

Honestly, the new show's style reminds me more of the pre-Omniverse series than it does of Omniverse, which uses the same art style as Transformers Animated used (being done by Derrick J. Wyatt and all). But the 2015 cartoon certainly doesn't use Animated's art style, as it seems to lean more towards the traditional animation style of today's American action cartoons.

Another show's style that the 2015 cartoon reminds of would be Young Justice.

Ahhh, I see where your coming from, thanks for the insight
