Well, the show did make Beast Machines watchable...so the answer's no.

Been watching it recently. Some of the episodes are pretty good. Like the whole reprograming Inferno saga I really enjoyed. I hated the way it ended, but that episode called "Inferno Imprisoned," or something like that, is still one of my favorite episodes of the series. I think that some episodes are worth going back to watch but for the most part, no. Just watch the first 26 episodes and move onto Cybertron. <--That was a good tip.

If you can get past the awkward CGI and the bad dubbing, I don't see how it's any worse than Animated. Can't say it's any better than Animated either though. If you're going to give it a second look, I'd recommend trying the fansubbed Super Link instead of the US Energon version.

Well I consider Animated to be the best TF series since Beast Wars.

Wha. . . what? There's no way. Animated was so much fun and the entire TF community actively followed every episode all the way to the very end. Energon was boring, mind numbing, and barely anyone was talking about it by the time it got to its last episode. They couldn't be more different. My opinion, of course.

No. In fact, I would put all your spare time into creating a time machine so that you could go back and stop yourself from giving it a first look.

To this day I haven't been able to watch the series all the way through.
The Omnicons, Landmine, and Bulkhead are pretty good, too.
