I really like what I see so far. The only bad points are the ugly little girl and Bumblebee's voice.

Oh, and the animated Soundwave toy looks awesome.

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowow

Apart from the creepy little girl that was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soundwave, swoop, arcee, g1 coloured megs and screamer AND prime

I dont care if it doesnt look like the original transformers at first glance, it looks like they have really really listened to the fans o this one!

Looking good so far, although I'm sure that little girl will become the bane of our existence before long... But where's Soundwave? I've watched the whole thing a few times now and still cant spot him!

I love the bit between Bumblebee and Prime:
"We're Autobots, we're not programmed for this kind of action!"
"Think of it as an upgrade."

Has anyone worked out how to download the FLV file of that clip yet? I'm having trouble getting it to stream properly through their website.

Soundwave is a pimped out SUV with huge shiny wheels. You know the sort I mean right?
I've never much liked the idea of those sort of cars, but soundwave makes it work.

I can't remember the exact name but it's the Archer. As in Aaron Archer.

This cartoon keeps looking better and better...

Starscream is absolutely awesome! Cool look and EXCELLENT voice work from Tom Kenny. I'd love to see all the Tom Kenny naysayers faces when they see what an great screamer voice he pulled off. MUAHAHAHA!!!!

The toys look like they may leave something to be desired, but even then, they still look pretty show accurate.

...could this be the best tf toon since BW? We'll have to wait and see but for me, it already is shaping up to be!

I liked it when the audience cheered to see the dinobots. And Starscream sounds just like G1 screamer! Is it the same voice actor?

I must say these designs look alot better when animated. I will definateley have to get cartoon network now to watch this series.

Its Tom Kenny, providing Screamers voice now... of SpongeBob Squarepants fame.

If it was, I'd invest into bunkers and ammo right now.

Hey! It's nice to see you coming around!

Wow! That was pretty neat! A definite nod to G1! Grimlock and Arcee look the same as they did in '86! And Starscream sounds and looks awesome!
I don't know what to say about the toys though—not until I see the complexity of the transformations.
