It's a different talent pool of Toronto voice actors and a different voice director. A different team of different people altogether. Expect it to be a voice cast of people who have never been in a Transformers cartoon before, as Transformers has never been voiced in Toronto before.

I'm so glad these never got a major release in Japan. They're not Transformers in any way shape or form.

Really? Not even during the Mainframe shows? Huh, didn't know that.

This means the burger bot is literally made out of edible materials. It would have been funnier if they were all "metal" still, as if the humans tried to eat them, they would break their teeth, etc. Making them "proper" Transformers in this way would have been great. Heck, even Beast Wars/Machines TFs weren't actually organic, but rather a combination of both organic and synthetic components, usually mixed at a molecular level, to various degrees, depending on the show.

I'm not asking for a detailed, serious explanation of that in the show, but there should be some sort of visual/plot explanation in the first ep that gets it out of the way quickly for us to suspend disbelief and enjoy the show. The creators must know TF fans might be watching.

As for the other kiddie TF shows, I loved them. However, they still had some semblance of plot and didn't fart all over established TF lore, even at the most nonsensical of times.
