The good thing is that this series brings Hasbro one step closer to the realization that only a G1 reboot can bring this franchise back to it's former glory.

I agree with part of this assessment. the episode was ok. The animation seemed a bit better on this one, but Windblade seems more like a frustrated child just lashing out at everyone and everything until Prime talks her down. "Only one can help us"--Victorion?

Unfortunately Hasbro will never "reboot G1" they have the classics toy line (which includes CW & TR), and the IDW comics, they feel that's enough G1 to satisfy older fans, and for most, sadly it is. Although fans of the original Marvel comic were treated with Regeneration One , getting the proper ending they always wanted. Fans of the Original Animated series, will never get the proper ending we desire. Hasbro is all about moving forward. Oddly enough though, there is this channel on Youtube that has made a couple of short episodes, purely with pasted together footage from original series episodes, and Japanese episodes. Better voice talent than on CW, and it is getting more positive feedback than CW.

It is pretty insane just how G1 it is. Pretty much the original cartoon with a new style and actual characterisation and story.

I don't think I've read a more incorrect comment in a long...long time....and its scarier that others believe that.

I guess you're right I mean after all animated wasnt filled with animation, voice and continuity errors like the original g1 cartoon did. It also didn't kill characters to clean the toy selfs so yeah I guess it was nothing like the original cartoon.

My bad. Sorry guys! My bad!

Animated was an error in its entirety. When the look of the show is based on a 8 year olds drawing in crayon, I'd call that one big error. Also...silly fan thinks Animated wasn't designed to sell toys. Well perhaps it didn't sell toys...perhaps that's why it got cancelled.

See you can bash the original all you want, and I can retort. This will get us nowhere. I was just simply stating it would be nice to have a return of the original series. I know its not going to happen, but I can have my opinion.

Not Animated. Not G1. Not trade insults.


Thank you.

I dont understand that part. Japan kept the G1 cartoon going, why cant that be what you watch if you want more G1?

Sorry I'll remember for the future only to insult and be critical towards stuff that can't defend itself on a message board wity the metality of "we can insult stuff that has no presence here but the second you do it to me, that won't be tolerated"

1. No personal attacks/threats
This includes, but is not limited to, personal attacks/threats on a person for their race, religious beliefs, sexual preferences, cultural background, upbringing, personal appearance etc posted publicly on forums and sent via private messages.

This NOT limited solely to members of Seibertron.com. Personal attacks/threats against non-members (e.g. Comic book Writers/Artists, Movie Producers/Stars/Directors, Toy Designers etc) will also not be tolerated.

Remember, your opinion is just that, your opinion. It is NOT necessarily right.

watched episode 3 and finished it and Optimus pretty much says windblade is right on what they need to do,
who wrote this crap?
sorry for swearing, i cant wait till she gets her head crushed in after her spine is ripped out used to whip her than strangle the glitch and her legs torn off shoved through her abdomen as her wings are wielded to a wall, keeping her from escaping like a butterfly in museum. So we can watch as blades slowly carve off the metal off her body before she is finished off ONCE AND FOR ALL using her sword to carve her spark out of her Chest with one final slash up to slice her head in half.

Kurona wrote:We finally hear Optimus speak lol. It's a pretty good voice for the most part; the grunting against Windblade's... wind notwithstanding.

But my the animation is just not good. When Windblade is forcing Optimus back with her sword slashing it looks less like he's being backed into a corner and more like he's pulling off some funky dance moves. Where's Jazz and Blaster when you need a posse?

Yeah. I didn't mind Optimus' voice in this. It was better than I imagined it was going to be. The animation has and did feel a bit choppy, but I'm wondering if that is a stylistic choice rather than budget maybe?

It feels a bit more like they were going with a new and unique style, but it didn't really agree with the budget. I can see potential, but it's just not quite there. If the animation was smoother and faster I'd be inclined to say it's pretty good, but as is you can practically see every frame.

I was referring to both of you, which is why I quote both your posts. I will make that clearer should it happen again. [EDIT: I did not quote, I just commented on the thread to bring it back on track.]

As I said, it is perfectly fine to criticise things you do not like, or even despise, but as our board rules state:

1. No personal attacks/threats
This includes, but is not limited to, personal attacks/threats on a person for their race, religious beliefs, sexual preferences, cultural background, upbringing, personal appearance etc posted publicly on forums and sent via private messages.

This NOT limited solely to members of Seibertron.com. Personal attacks/threats against non-members (e.g. Comic book Writers/Artists, Movie Producers/Stars/Directors, Toy Designers etc) will also not be tolerated.

Remember, your opinion is just that, your opinion. It is NOT necessarily right.

Now please, EVERYONE, back on topic.

I am in Japan and the video is Geo-Blocked. As I have stated before, in order to view these videos outside the USA/in geo-blocked countries, you need to copy and paste the url of the geolocked youtube video into the text entry box of any good "online youtube download" site (Google is your friend), and then download the video.

PLEASE check your facts, Seibertron.

I was thinking more the likes of Megatron, actually. Maybe because of the trailer?

As did I actually. My mind went to Megatron and not Victorion here. Guess we won't know for a week though otherwise.

Only because there are no confirmed dinosaurs in this show.
