Eeeeey.

Still doesn't mean this series won't be shite, but eeeeey. Nice to hear his voice again after all this time. Shame they bring in such talented folks for something so half-assed and lazily put together.

Imagine if they pooled all their resources and instead of wasting legit talent on this crap web series, why not put that into Cyberverse? Mark Hamill, Ron perlman, Gregg Berger, Judd Nelson, Peter Cullen, Patrick Seitz, Samoa Joe, Jaime King and so forth.

I'd be totally fine if Wheaton fucked off, though.

 

this one on facebook is actually longer than the tumler one, by almost 2 minutes because it combines the recap for combiner wars with the recap for Titans return!

 

That's a yuge Primal.

 

Hearing Victor Caroli\'s voice narrating Transformers takes me back!  While the show is admittedly a mixed bag, the decision to bring in classic, beloved voice talent like Victor, Berger, Cullen, and Judd Nelson ties the cartoon to the rich G1 backdrop and makes the series resonate with loyal fans.  I cannot say thanks enough for this decision!! 

New additions are impressive as well, with some big names (Mark Hamill, Ron Perlman, Wil Wheaton) and solid talent on board... including, Frank Todaro, who is an all around great guy and hella talented voice actor.  Always glad to see him on the roster.  

And while you can tell Machinma wrestles with a limited animation budget and various challenges, I can tell they have been listening to fans critiques of the past series.  This episode is arguably the best to date.  Many of the problems I\'ve had with past episodes (including the \"Sean Connery\" voice slapped on Megatron) are gone.  I\'m actually a bit optimistic for the rest of this series.  

(That said, I still disagree with many of the choices for the past two series, incuding killing Prime (again).  It\'s really odd to have such mixed feelings about the most \"G1\" cartoon we\'ve had since G1.)

Either way, a hearty \"Welcome Back!\" to old friends and familiar faces... er.... voices!  Looking forward to the next episode. 

 

I really want to know if machinima and hasbro think this show is good. Or if they don’t and evil corporate assholes. I genuinely hope it’s the latter, becuase if they think this is good and then they’re bloody mad.

 

That was more entertaining than the two series\' combined.

 

Oh, Power of the Primes Episode 1 is out. I didn't know that. Nice.

edit:
Cool, Unicron in the title card  

edit2:
that was actually not bad. I just wish they did the Prime Wars Trilogy professionally. Nice how Grims swiped away Megs  

 

That's because they're not their BW sizes. They're new iterations of themselves in PotP, so they're the average Cybertronian size. Good choice IMO.

 

Always a breath of fresh air to hear Victor Carolli doing his narrations that never gets old. Thought that first episode was surprisingly solid considering the usual standard of the series.
Highlights  1. Mark Hamill as Megatronus 
                  2. megatron is still the best character in the series
                  3. Me Grimlock King !
 

 

Hearing Caroli again is a welcomed surprise.

Hearing Caroli say (toward the end), "in search of yet another ancient artifact" is everything that's been wrong with Transformers motion picture media for a long time. Find the McGuffin, beat the bad guy, find a new McGuffin to beat another bad guy, and on and on.

Is that really all they think of their own characters? Their own world? That's the best story they can come up with?

 

I still can't believe they got Victor Caroli back for this  .

That's a mismatched Megatron/Optimus pairing...

It's not a Transformers cartoon if it doesn't devolve into a fetch quest  .

 

Still salty about Primal winning, but at least Star Saber doesn't have to be subjected this abomination.

 

I love beast wars, for me beast wars and g1 is all the same continuity, so I love it. With that said, I keep on saying to myself, man If star saber had won was in this in the role of primal, wow that would have been preferred . What a wasted opportunity .

 

Yeah, but on the other hand, his first exposure to many fans isn't this dreck. Poor Primal.

 

Why only now?
But better late than never.

Caroli is epic

 

So for all the things they managed to get Victor Caroli for, it had to be this garbage? Ugh. Use the guy in something actually worth a damn.

I'm pretty sure all they think is that it gets views so it makes money and therefore, that is good. I doubt they care about the quality. I know people will say "BUT THEN WHY DID THEY GET BETTER VOICE ACTORS, HMMMM?" but the answer to that is simple: it's to make the fans happy. I'm sure Hasbro knows that most people don't seem to like these shows, but by adding some big-name voice actors, they appease some of the fans (enough to get people still watching, at least) and quell some of the discontent. They've done it again with POTP to further appease fans. All it takes is a little fan service and people who are complaining will keep watching.

Plus, think of it this way: they could put their resources into making a full-on cartoon with all these good voice actors and better animation and proper plots and all of that, and end up making a really good show... or they could continue pumping out this crap but just shell out a fraction of the budget they'd need for a good show to hire some old voice actors to appease the fans. The latter is cheaper and ultimately works just as effectively as making a good show on a higher budget.

My guess is that's part of the reason Cyberverse will have 11-minute episodes instead of full-length episodes - because at the end of the day, it's cheaper to do it that way and it should theoretically have a minimal impact on the perceived quality (i.e. how many people view it and how much money it generates for Hasbro).
