I should hope not. This is the
War for Cybertron. The lame comic relief humour of certain TF series of old would be horribly out of place, tonally speaking. There shouldn't be any guffaws at this stage in their history.
"Levity" does not automatically equal "comic relief".
Historically, in Transformers in general we
know it does. Typically every TF series is at it's best when it acknowledges that war
isn't funny. The Movie being the first time G1 lived upto that idea. MTMTE/LL or the Japanaes dub of Beast Wars, being where the very idea was completely bastardised. The fact that this show is going to be on Netflix only lends credence to the idea this won't have to go down that road, just to please TV standards groups.
What would you rather see more focus on? Five Faces of Darkness or B.O.T.? Code of Hero or The Low Road? Animated Season Three or Car Robots? Last Stand of The Wreckers or IDWverse 2.0?
In other words, you don't want this show have any positive emotions or uplifting bright spots at all. No optimism, no hope, no happiness, no charm, no likability, no reassurance, no inspiration, no friendliness, no nothing. Just nothing but misery, depression, anger, hatred, sullenness, sorrow, angst, vengeance, pain, suffering, mourning, death, distress, grief, agony, anxiety, tortture, psychosis, loathing, etc.
Hope you enjoy your sad, depressing show. I'd rather go watch Wonder Woman again, a movie that treats WWI with respect and also serves to inspire hope and the betterment of humanity.
