I have to agree with this since there hasn't been any details about the type of animation, whether they've hired any voice actors yet or how long the series will be.

 

But she already was though.

 

you by the time they finish CW will be gone, am i mistaken? sorry for being negative

 

It doesnt matter cause any good transformers toon is fine by me

 

I'm sure the reason this wasn't worked on ahead of time is that they weren't expecting CW to be successful as it has been.

This isn't going to be a show trying to sell toys to kids, it won't have the reach to do that. It's a show to build the toy universe and brand among more mature collectors.

 

It was just a quick and cheap cop-out to getting them in the game.

Don't even get me started on how the Stunticons(other than Motormaster) were pretty much reduced to drones.

 

I still hate the sound of an "adult" and "mature" TF series. They might overdo it in all the wrong ways like G.I. Joe Resolute and AHM did and try to overcompensating the "adult" stuff to "make up" for it being based on a toyline. Of course, they could do "adult" right and balance out the serious stuff with humor (like MTMTE or even BW), but I'm still not thrilled at they way they're wording it. I'm hoping it'll be good, but I'm still wary of it.

 

Whoa man Resolute didnt overdo it. Bazooka got it bad and that stormshadow vs snake eyes fight yeah that was overdone huh. Shit was awesomeness

 

I seriously keep forgetting this is even a thing. Maybe I'll stop forgetting when some preview footage is shown...

 

Resolute was G.I. Joe meets Anime. That was the best iteration of GI Joe we got. There was actually a story, along with better actors, and Anime-influenced Animation, compared to the live action films.
Plus, Charlie Adler as Cobra Commander was beautiful.

 

Renegades had a better story and characters IMO (I might be biased since Marty Isenberg was a showrunner after what he did with TFA, though), AND we still got Charlie Adler as Cobra Commander. It's the first incarnation of Joe I really cared about, so OF COURSE it got canned. Anime-influencing does help a show out at times (Animated was influenced by Gainax, for example) and I still have a pipe dream of working for Hasbro and being a showrunner on an anime-influenced TF series (with writing on par with TFA or BW, of course), but Resolute kinda tried too hard. Resolute still didn't overdo it as much as AHM and Costa's run on the TF ongoing did, though.

But still, if they manage to pull off a nice balance of dark elements and light elements like MTMTE does, then Machinima might finally end up being the third truly great Transformers show. (the first two chronologically being BW and TFA, of course)

 

Well said bro.

 

It's a Transformers series, of course I'm gonna give it a chance. If Devastation is supposed to be an example of what the quality of the series will be like, I think we're in store for something good. One does have to wonder if non-combining characters like Megatron, Ultra Magnus, and the Seekers, or franchise staples like Grimlock, Ratchet, and Bumblebee will turn up. Since Windblade's destined to appear, I wouldn't count them out.

 

Combiner wars will be off the shelves by the time the series airs, however.... however, if its popular it will go on and will give birth to many more toylines.

 

If they are not going to use Transformers: Devastation 's graphics and models, there is no use to even start creating this show. Waste of screen pixels.

 

Ok, so they practically haven't started yet. They have a script to episode one and I guess an outline for the entire show?

Great.  

 

i understand that its all about timing.
and that there are other shows I guess aimed at a younger audience. I tried watching rescue bots when it started, it gave me migraines. I'll geek out on gobots any day over that shit.
I saw quite a few episodes of "rid" , I like the blue colors, windblade or is it wing I forget, Jazz etc, pretty cool, not up on the whole story yet.

What I dont get....why doesnt hasbro just make it happen?
they have video games, comics, toys, of all our old characters?
why no cartoon/anime?

am I missing something?

 

This thing's going to turn out like that Prime Universe game --- games, isn't it? Stuck in development hell missing all the boats it could possibly get on...

 

Static images with only mouths moving?

That would be awersome!

WHAT story?! Characters getting randomly killed cuz... badass?

 

Why not ask HAsbro to sell replacement parts? They do that for board games and Elmo toys, so seems easy enough. Plus, they're selling head-sets/vehicle combos, giving you extra heads. In addition, we're not 7 yrs old anymore, and those of us with 7 yr olds still know how to watch for lost heads or weapons. I can imagine a ton of toy accessories getting tossed in the garbage or vacuumed up by a thoughtless caretaker/maid... but times have changed, haven't they? (Plus, I really don't see the HM toys taking off with the mainstream, as none of the current TF toy lines really have, so it's a bit moot to talk about clueless adults or kids losing pieces). A lot of TF purchases are inspired by older TF purchases (or purchasers), so it makes sense to bring back a toy concept like HM.

HMs are a good thing!!!! No nay-saying.  

And agree with the bunch of you who say this cartoon may be released too late for it to matter to toy sales... which, we've been told is the sole purpose of a cartoon...   BUT WHAT IF... WHAT IF THIS CARTOON COULD BE GOOD IRRESPECTIVE OF TOY AISLES?!?
