Oh my goodness, that was the most badass opening in TF history.. There's **** that never happened in Animated before.... wow.

If the entire show had been animated like this I would have had a much higher opinion of it. Really wish it could have looked more like this opening.

Also: I love JAM Project.

Holy crap that was really a surprise! Completely new animation and it highlights some hardly seen characters like the true Ironhide and others. I don't Magnus can really jump like that! haha

Wow just wow.. looks real aweseome.. looks like they made Arcee and Blackarachnia have some sort of rivalry going on.. makes me think that they are redoing the whole series..

This one opening has completly revived animated for me, as well as making me want to own every toy in the line now. American openings just aren't epic enough.

And also, my soul died a second time, as I am again reminded that the series will never be finished... *sigh*

That sh*t was awesome!.... Damnit! Japan always gets it better... How badass was that! So are they gonna have a totally different cartoon than us? I never noticed Magnus had a battle mask. I bet they get a Omega toy over there!

And when Optimus turns all sparkly, who's the giant he flies into at the end?

Wow Slipstream looks kinda hot.

Who the hell is that guy with a cape at the beginning? It can't be Lockdown as it's not his head or hands.

This wasn't too bad.

It is amazing that Ironhide is on the intro even though he only appears in cameos.

The word 'hyped' doesn't even come close to describing this. Screw the idea about a Seibertron forum feud cartoon, I wanna see the opening to this show made INTO AN ENTIRELY NEW ANIME!

God, I love this.

Feels like false advertising though. The rest of the show was good, but it wasn't on this kind of level.

Kukuku. If it weren't for that one thing...

Isnt tha the way with a lot of japanese tv though? look at Yu Gi Oh or Pokemon Digimon and amny others, the starting and ending animation is top notch stuff from people like Toei and then the actual shows sub par compared to the awesomeness you saw open the show.

The same with comics, Joe Scott Campbell cover art, Jode Delbose interior :roll:

I was speaking more along the lines of the emotional feel of the opening rather than the quality of the animation. The battle scenes, the rousing, fast paced music, and the complete absence of Sari. All of which combine to give the impression of the show being a lot more action packed than it actually is.

Wow! That was a LOT more impressive than I was expecting. I figured I'd watch it to laugh at it. I was wrong! I WISH they had had an opening like that here in the states! Maybe it would have helped hook enough viewers to keep it going another season or two.

WOW. This makes me want to learn Japanese.

i'm a huge fan of "awesomelyanimatedmecha/robotsuperopeningsforanimewithkickasssongs"
especially if you throw in hironubu kageyama in there somewhere (i love that guy!

)

still doesnt beat the super voyager opening from beast wars II (thats like one of my top 3 favorite songs!)

(god the japanese kids who are gonna be disappointed when they see the horrible animation of the show compared to the opening)
