i feel ya. but as long as it gets us some cool decepticon combiners im down. i will never watch the show but might get the toys.

It looks to me like the cartoon will be very poor and the robots will look way cooler on screen than in toy form.

i mean... i know what this is... its just like zone, scramble city, headmasters, masterforce, victory, beast wars neo and beast wars second. its just made to advertise and sell these few figures that will not be in the prime line.

i don't like them either but they can't be ****** as they're very popular with kids today (pokemon in particular)

Should a toyline and 'kids' cartoon really be aimed at adults?! if the formula (pokemon style) works with other franchises and sells BIG then why not for transformers too.

So this

Anyway, why are some saying it will be like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakugan or even B-Daman and the like (coincidentally, the only kind that gets adapted for the US. Odd...). If anything, I expect it to be like Brave, Eldoran or even Machine Robo Rescue, as I'm not seeing "Gotta collect'em/catch'em all" anywhere. There are more animes than that, people

Forgot to mention. This will probably be like Cybertron. Stock footage spam!

I know this seems strange since Transformers are from Japan but...has anyone ever thought mow much Japanese original characters look nothing like other Transformers? Dai Atlas, Deathsaurus, Star Convoy...and these. They look more like Gundam than transformers. They are too ornate and there are far too many colors. It's not like there are rules for making a transformer but these seem like built machines rather than "living" things. As Gundam they look cool. As Transformers, I'd pass as they look like some closeout-store knockoff.

as for the series: Sigh, more of the same old cliched crap I bet. I really hope they don't import this as a new series like they did with Car Robots.

That's with any anime with transformations and named attacks

I loved cybertron!

*Huge ass key flies down from the sky*
cyber key activate
*Jumps into the air with blue background.
chink!
*A weapon they never knew they had appears!*

All while playing the Cybertron theme.

Lol! Yeah he has that dumb metal headband thing too.

I really don't know what to think of this at the moment. I suppose I'm just hoping that they make good Transformers figures out of this.

This is the first Japanese only anime since what, BWII? Of course maybe Hasbro will dub over it and air it on The Hub (dubbed on The Hub) and this'll be the next TF Series that has been teased.
