The Energon Pub

Well,

I first saw the trailer for it... and my first three words..

WHAT.... THE.... HELL?

But now, i watch it again... Same 3 words. I look at the toys.... "Hey! Those are cool!" Then i see Soundwave... "WOW! Soundwave! No way!" then i notice the new clip.... "HEY! They landed in Lake eerie!" Wow, Bumblebee looks kinda cool!" I think i like TF animated now! Has this happened to anyone else?

Same happened here When first I saw that walpaper I said to my self "Awful!" but when I saw those clips I said to my self "Incredible! Amazing!"

Yep, I saw the pics of the charicters and went; Noooooo!

But after I watched the actual clip I went; Yaaaaaay!

I was appalled by the first images of Optimus Prime and Blitzwing. They were truly horrific, and I'm still not fussed on the way they look. But after seeing the trailers I'm very impressed by what I've seen of Megatron and Starscream. I'll be watching the show just for them, as I normally do with Transformers shows actually.

Despite what people say about his chin, I think Starscream looks particularly great, I love the design. I can't wait to see him in action, despite the fact I think the voice sounds more like Gollum than Starscream. =x

Same here, at first I had to puke but now I can't wait to see it!

I budged a little the other day after reading the David Kaye interview in the latest club magazine. The stuff he said made me real interested.

Then I saw that new clip the other day and I was reminded of those god awful proportions I hate so much.

Just watch a bit of Dany Phantom, Dexter's Laboratory and you'll get used to it.

I too was dead-set against it when I first saw the pics, for obvious reasons. The more I watch the trailers, the more interested in it I become. I am, however, not very thrilled to hear that the Autobots will not be dealing as much as the Decepticons as most other series'. Why the heck not? I will still reserve judgement until I actually see at least 3 episodes.

i didnt want the series to be made when i saw the images of the robots until i saw the cilps then that changed my mind completly

ANIMATED SUCKS. that is my opinion. i never liked it, never will. i only like the megatron toy

Yes, well "That it sucks" is your personal opinion. Plenty of us think it looks alright. Sure, the animation isn't the best, but hey. Neither was the animation in G1.

I actully just watched that preview on YouTube of TFAnimated and heard Optimus Prime's voice...

Don't like him at all. First off I have nothing agenst Optimus haveing a mouth. I like both Primal and Cybertron Prime but this guy does not look right without a mouth plate. Second his voice, he reminds me more of Orian Pax than Optimus Prime.

Well it is soposed to be a younger version of Prime for the new toon so your not that far off in your thoughts.
What I dont like is that Ultra Magnus is going to be Prime's boss.
All I can say is that the stories better be great because the look of the show is shot IMO.

Peter Cullen, Gary Chalk, and guy who's name I can't think of right now who voiced Prime in R.I.D. have all sounded fairly simular. Deep, heroic, and slightly robotic. David sounds like... well someone not Optimus. Allthough at least he doesn't sound like Megatron. (he is the same voice actor who did Megatron for BW/BW and A/E/C)

Animated Prime doesn't even have that slightly robotic tone to his voice.

Animation styal I'm sure no one likes.

Still none of this is preventing me from all out hating the series. I'd have to watch it first before I make any final judgments I just don't like what I've seen so far.

Unfortunatly though sence I don't get Cartoon Network I'll have to wait for DVD or for someone to post it on youtube. Maybe Hasbro will have episodes on their site I can download when it comes out.

I do.

You know, I kinda felt like WTF as well.

But then I heard the opening theme song. For me, its not so much the animation that sells me on a series, but the music is a larger factor.
