But Armada had a decent show, and shitty toys.
It's succesor, Energon, had great toys, but a shitty show. Energon has a likable toyline that gave us some awesome molds, but like everyone else, I think the TV series is ASS. |

Animated was a good show with okay toy line not the best. LOST Season 6: Destiny is Found 2/2/2010. |

Animated was a good show with okay toy line not the best. | I think both had a good show, and good toyline, only in different ways.
Cybertron toys were great with their amount of detail, and breadth of designs (All the different planets had their own designs, very cool choice).The molds were great and had a good aesthetic that translated well into all the re-decos they did in Universe. A very "efficient" line.
Animated succeeds at pumping a lot of personality into the toys, each mold just shouts what that character's role is. Animated isn't as broad as Cybertron, but it does encompass a lot of archetypes of TFs. However, Animated lacks a lot of "useful" molds. The toys were designed specifically for one aesthetic, that without tweaking, don't translate well into other lines.
This isn't a BAD thing, as ROTF Lockdown has shown us, because it's really the characters that post-Animated lines will want to remember, not molds.
In closing, both lines had a great run, and added a lot of awesomness to TF history.  |

Personally I've never seen Cybertron myself, but I used it here to represent how we've gotten nothing but TF anime for the last 8(?) years, and the last really GOOD show was in the US (Beast era shows).
Overall don't take the "statement" in the video too seriously, all in good fun.

The Nostalgia Critic is spot on with this, even if itīs fake. |

I think the Unicron Trilogy sucked mostly due to Energon and Cybertron, Armada was 50/50.
Animated is the best to me, alongside the BayFormers tie-in stories post TF1, and the toys for Animated and ROTF are spectacular. Animated had basically everything Beast Wars had - good voice-acting, strong plot, and new, but fun characters. The tie-ins for BayFormers had what I wanted - actual characterization for the robots, particularly the Decepticons.
But, this is turning into a discussion thread, so... |
