I'm struggling to find things I like, and I wanted to like this.
I'm just left feeling confused. It feels like when you get a cone from the ice cream truck, only to have the icecream fall off as you move in for your first bite, leaving you sullen and holding an empty, dripping cone in your hand.
Is this it's entire own microcontinuity separate from IDW and the Toy Bios?
It's not. It's its own universe merely based on IDW's.MemphisR56 wrote:>Cybertron has 2 visible moons (despite the whole missing moon thing) which is impossible if we're to believe this is IDW universe

I dont know where you go that Memphis, Sabreblade and Jelze repeatedly corrected us that this was not the same universe.

Yes, totally.

No reason, I am watching it right now on youtube, we embeded the video at the end of the review.Optimizzy wrote:ok, so I just watched it...
man...I'm not going to spoil anything (How could I anyway? Its barely loner than a movie trailer), but this was weak. The characters seemed way off to me. It seems like they watched a bad anime and was like "Oh, that, that is what we should do."
I am disappoint.
Me too, it ends with a shot of Optimus and we dont hear the awesome John Bailey
But aside from that, yeah its dissapointing. I do not like the animation at all. It is very repetitive, like older anime. The scene where Menasor and Windblade are having a back and forth and Menasor's mouth is just moving up and down randomly reminded me of Speed Racer.
I am also not fond of the direction for Menasor, he sounds unintimidating. Also, and this is more because I am aware of he business behind this, I am kind of ticked at how that is the Superion redeco we see as Computron. We already bought the combner wars toys guys, you dont have to sell them anymore!
