In fact, Energon and ROTF have the same amount of story, the only difference is Energon spreads it out for 52 22-minute episodes, wheras ROTF puts in a stable 2-hour-ish time slot.
I do like the toys. If you consider a look into anything Energon just look at the toys. I recommend them.
And Animated has well-developed characters, a strong story, good voice Acting and good pacing. As well as consistently decent animation. Just... throwing that out there for the point of discussion that seems to have been quickly dropped...  XBL GT: SPLITTLIP

The same would probably be true for SuperLink. But I realize most people don't have the means or flat out can't afford(I gave up because of this) Japanese DVDs.
So my answer is hell no.

My opinion, of course. | I personally found Animated to be all of the things you described Energon as. The points I'll award to Animated are that it had fun characters and character interactions, and occasional moments of good story. Energon had that too, although most of it was lost in the dub.  | |

And it was kinda funny to watch.  | |

If you're bored to tears, don't give a care about the stupidity that is Energon, then feel free to watch it as many times as you want until you either start liking it or finding that you truly do hate it. |
