I'd watch it, and it'd flesh out some characters. Nevertheless, it'd probably get completely ignored once the next movie is written, and people would be up in arms about how the cartoon wasn't considered when the movie was being written.

 

I would have liked it after the first movie but now I wouldn't. I loved ROTF but for a cartoon, I want my robots more humanoid. Wheel bots, bug bots, kitchen bots, etc would be annoying in cartoon form.

 

Five episodes-worth of running time can do a lot to develop characters and story.
Besides, most other movies do it perfectly well, sometimes with even shorter running times than two and a half hours.

 

a normal tv show's season can do more characterization than any movie can. i.e. a 25 minute episode that's a spotlight on one character, 13 episodes=total characterization

 

I'm not entirely sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. Regardless, many movies have done more development with less time than Bay's movies.

 

that's because Bay's #1 priority is entertainment, and I'm fine with that. that's why I'm in support of this bayverse cartoon in discussion so that people who complained about characterization can get the characterization they wanted.

 

this, the first movie bots would have been less cartoony than the new ones, and now i'm sick of movie movie movie already, something new would be nice, a change

 

you could wait for this new discover-hasbro channel to come out

 

Sounds like when you say "cartoony" you mean "silly". I'm sure they could have made a cartoon version of the first movie. But the direction of the robot designs in ROTF make me not want to see that in a cartoon. They would probably go over do non-humanoid robots.

They could have done a cartoon version of the movie two years ago but instead, they did Animated. To me, that was like loving the Ghostbusters movies but getting the Ghostbusters filmation cartoon.

As for a change, I say a G1 Transformers: Resolute. And Peter Cullen has to be Prime.

 

After reading Shattered Glass and hearing Cullen voice KARR last year on that new Knight Rider horror, I say make a Shattered Glass toon.

I say that, because it's one of those awesome things that will never happen.

But back to the topic; I still have to say Bayformers have had two films, extended toylines for each, and its fingers in every other merchandise bit you can think of from undies to little Hot Wheels-like cars, from coloring books to Lunchables. Let it have its third film and all the associated merchandise there-in, then give it a rest. It's had its turn and I don't care to give the next big Transformers television slot to it as well.

 

shattered glass, i don't know. the whole decepticons being good and autobots being bad just doesn't seem right. I'm not sure I would even want to watch a tv show based on it.

 

No.
The new designs just wouldn't work.

 

Well, the Godzilla cartoon basically ditched just about everything but a single monster design from the movie and started almost wholly from scratch.

Tells you something, doesn't it?

If they did that with Bayformers, I might be interested.

Maybe a Shattered Glass-style reverse universe would work as a one-off or multipart storyline within whatever new series they have, like Star Trek's "Mirror, Mirror" episode or Justice League's "Justice Lords", rather than as the main series itself.

Besides, Nemesis Prime/Scourge somewhat fills out the need for an Evil Prime character.

 

I think a Bayformers cartoon would be interesting. So I'd be all for it if there was one.

As far as the animation goes I don't think it'd have to be another TF: Cybertron scenario. It doesn't have to be cell shaded CGI it could be a symplified "cartoon-y" style of the pre-existing Movieverse character models.

 

YES! id love it! I want to see a TF series with a story as good as Animateds, but with action as hard core as the movies!

 

A anime studio could handle the animation but it be terrible if they had any control over it.

I'd prefer Matrix Studios do it. They could just go on and retell the 2 movie stories while adding there own touch and more depth.

 

If this actually happened a lot of the designs would need to be changed due to copyrighted materials, so why not just make a new show.

 

More traditional style of Transformers cartoon for me, please.

There's something strangely satisfying to see that claim turned around and used against Bay's robots for once.
