Are you Going to See Transformers: Prime

Ash from Carolina · 07-23-2010, 09:55 AM

Are there things I don't like? Yes, yes there are. I'm so damn tired of the movie designs but Hasbro just keeps up this plan of lets shove 'em down your throat, heavens forbid we should have something not movie related that we can't just give the ax to make room for more movie stuff. I also think that robot drones are the very worst thing in writing as they never work out into anything more than boring cannon fodder no matter how innovative the hero gets with killing them in massive numbers.

But if I gave Revenge of the Fallen a chance then you can't make something Transformers related so bad that I will not give it a chance. It's on cable and I already have cable so at least this time it's free so why would I not give something free a chance. There is always a chance the show could be far greater than very very limited little glimpse we've gotten so far. Heck for all I know there could even be a Decepticon fan on the production team to push that the Cons need to be great villains again.

There have been Transformers things that looked great only to not be great when I saw the finished product and things that looked bad but turned out fantastic in finished product so the finial judgment is still a longs way off on Transformers Prime. I have a bad feeling but I'll admit my initial feeling could be wrong.

Okay that and I'd really love a toy of that Arcee figure since it's one of those rare times a female Transformer looks female in robot mode.

If the Drones talk and have "Storm Trooper"ish personalities, I won't mind them so much. If they are like Cartoon TMNT foot soldiers, I won't like that so much.

I'll give it a try. I did even like Animated, although the style of animated sucks. So maybe this might entertain as well, although I don't like the style. I would even prefer the Animated style over the style of Prime.

Let us see what this show will bring us.

I'm going to give it a fair chance. I'm not convinced at the moment, but I'm not going to dismiss it before seeing some actual episodes.

Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Jeffrey Combs, I'd be a fool to not watch it! I just hope that one of the storylines has Ratchet bringing back dead TFs with horrible - and yet amusing - results.

Only if there was a episode that have Dinobots in it now the Drones with be scared.

Hopefully the models are not stiff like the CGI ones of Energon/Cybertron. They always moved awkwardly due to this. Let's hope they are more flexible like the BW models.

Switchblade · 07-23-2010, 10:40 AM

Yeah, I'll watch it. I haven't missed a TF show yet and see no reason to start now. I don't like the movie-esque designs one little bit, but if the story and characters are good I can get past it. Just don't expect to see me add a Prime shelf to my collection.

Sprocket · 07-23-2010, 11:36 AM

I'm not exactly enthused by what I've seen so far, but I'd be a huge hypocrite if I didn't at least watch a bit of it.

Whether I'll stick around for the long haul? That remains to be seen.

I'll watch it, if I even can. I hope it shows on YTV, because I don't want to order a whole digital cable box just to get the Hub so I can watch one or two shows.
