You know, I be all right if we had a Transformers comedy series in the format of Robot Chicken written by TeamFourStar & LittleKuriboh.

 

It like that in g1. Jets are bigger then trucks, but yet Starscream is smaller then Optimus Prime. Isn't logic great in g1.

 

Skywarp? I think you mean Thundercracker.

 

I can see why, but it would be nice to have him talk. Also why not slowly show kids the talking Bee? Also RID2015 was for kids, but Bee talk there.

 

"Transformers fans when G1 first began: ...there is nothing for me to judge this against!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The marvel comics

 

I don't dislike this clip but I do dislike the toyline now .
I finally found some cyberverse near me yesterday and spent quite some time deciding what to buy , only to walk out with none .
Starscream and Optimus look so cheap and nasty ( without actually being cheap ) , Windblade had a horrible facemask . The only one that looked OK was Bumblebee and I already have loads of better versions of him .

 

Well... All I can say from the clip is that the visuals are appealing, Windblade has a very appealing voice actress, and Bumblebee is pure awful.

I'm pretty shocked at how bad Bee is.

 

Let's be frank here:

I am an illustration major.

I have worked my entire life to be good at what I do.

I deliberately push alternative aesthetics. Weird angles and colour choices. Anti-realism. Loved what they did with Transformers Animated, love Alex Milne, love anything that pushes out of the box.

But this? This looks like something an elementary child drew and then scrawled on with crayon. And that's an insult to elementary students I know. It's like they had good ideas, but then said 'screw it' midway through and produced an unfinished, blandly-shaded flat version. I would have given it a chance for the writing, but the writing is awful. I already can guess what the toys will be like, and the comments above share the same sentiment.

Separating the audiences for this franchise is possibly the worst thing Hasbro could have done. On one hand, you can't please everybody, and pleasing the majority is hard enough. I understand the struggle to appeal to older fans through 'new' lines, and the rise in production costs.

On the other, there was a time when I bought from every line of Transformers. The show, the classics... I shopped them all. Sometimes in one trip. After two decades of supporting Hasbro, I have been driven almost solely to the Masterpieces and Third Parties, because of the quality of what's being barfed up on the store shelves. It's appalling compared to what it was, and this clip betrays that so clearly. The thing about selling your toys through cartoons is that they must be produced well. It isn't enough to be 'cool' and wave a few stale memes and some bright colours in the children's faces. Kids are smarter than that; they need a plot to invest in too, same as us. And if you feel that everything must be broken down into bite-sized bits and basics, and run at the speed of ADHD?

...Then your lack of knowledge concerning your audience couldn't be more transparent. Kids can handle deep storylines. Kids need good characters to identify with, and toys that can actually be played with.

It's not a commentary against this show, or the people who'll enjoy it. To each their own; by all means, support it if you like it. It's an observation of how far Hasbro has fallen in terms of what it delivers. And that's a shame.

 

First off, multiquote. It works wonders.


Second, mass shifting. Totally a thing, Plus you also look at the fact that the G1 cartoon was written from the viewpoint that petulant neckbeards wouldn't be tearing it apart second by second for 30+ years after it went off the air.

 

We didn't make our kids dumb. Hasbro did.

 

Unfortunately, most 10 years old kids these days are actually stupid. They love watching Teen Titans Go and stupid stuffs like Looney tunes 5 minutes clip and Ben 10 reboot. They want to watch shows that need no digestion. It's easier for them to understand and enjoy the show. Even some 13 years old kids couldn't enjoy Symbionic Titans or Samurai Jack.

Try name me 5 recent cartoon shows that has a good writing, good animation and a decent amount of audiences.

 

Cyberverse is more childish than G1. The fact that puns were included in G1 shows how writers respected the fact that children, during that time, would understand why it was said and would have the sense of humor to appreciate its delivery. If one does not find puns hilarious, that person is most likely devoid of personality

 

why do they transform via fart pattern?

and, they couldn't even make different voices for the "radio?" if this is one guy, why not just have him get fixed as he remembers? lose the radio and keep the guy, so it's not one guy being a radio station.

also, it seems like they over saturated everything.

 

Meh, I have kids and I don't even think they'll want to watch this... I guess I'll go back to re-watching G1, Beast Wars, Animated and Prime...

 

so much negativity

 

The new RB show seem more adult then Cyberverse. And your son is smart ( good job on the parenting) He proofs that kids can know that a show is crap or not. Not all kids will shows like Teen Titian Go. Sadly most kids would watch show like TTG. I was one of them (Primus I would love to slap my younger self).

 

Can we drop the stupid Bay bee doesn't talk crap? It's not cute. It's not endearing. It's just dumb. (pun intended). Talking through the radio and tv was Wreck-Gar's schtick. It worked for him because he was an ancillary character not a central one.

 

Teen Titans Go is better than this particular clip of Cyberverse. TTG can actually be really good when you realize it's a reference-saturated spoof for adults dressed as a kids show. It's almost Aqua Teen Hunger Force without the sex jokes.

 

Yeah, with Bee being the main character, I worry half the dialogues in each episode is gonna be random audio bites... that sh!t is going to be unbearable within two-three episodes at best.

 

Sorry to be negative, I do think this has a good look but I hope Bumblebees dies as fast as Cliffjumper in Prime.
gtfo with the radio gimmick already, it doesn't even make sense with the character voiced by one actor
