    Amazing how people can try to compare this to G1 when there was no such thing as an Allspark.
    On another note, bland is a great word to describe this series. I enjoyed the "Kicker" series better than this. I didn't like the Autobots running why rolling could be a better alternative. The Autobot counterattack seems lazy with the exception of Windblade. They need to do better.

    i know i expressed interest in a TF series from this studio as well, and while there are plenty of studios that could absolutly make a quality TF series, possibly better, the idea of a TF series from the cookie cutter mold of Avatar/Korra/Voltron also sounds very enticing for its own reasons. Yes, their three shows so far are basically identical and a Transformers from them wouldn't be much different, but is that a bad thing? if Voltron is anything to go by it would still be GOOD and definitely better than the last few shows depending on who you ask. That might actually be one of the draws, as we would know exactly what kind of series we would be getting if it was done by Studio Mir rather than someone else where tone and things can vary widely.

    Sigh, I just wish they would just bring back Transformers Prime.

    If it's more than wishful thinking, yes. It's unoriginal and panders solely to that group of people rather than an entire audience who can enjoy it for what it is.

    Believe or not, there are adults (and kids!) who enjoy shows like Cyberverse. People have different tastes. Is that a bad thing? :p

    The whole "it's just a show made for kids" thing does t work when in my original comment I mentions shows such as adventure time and gravity falls which are also kids shows but I can happily say I watched adventure time regularly from it's early series and can happily say I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy shows Like; game of thrones, altered carbon, the x files, doctor who and other quality programs. Whereas these recent transormers shows are literally created to the tune of "kids are stupid and they'll enjoy anything"

    So far this is the worst voice for Optimus and Megatron I agree when somebody said it sounds like they are overdoing it. Hopefully the actors can later Adjust to the roles, I am extremely disappointed that it will likely be a few years until the show gets its next proper reboot. 

    I did not think I would enjoy rescue bots but I did, I hope it will be the same with this series as well. But the opening has not given me a high hopes this is not my attempt to bash the show I want to like the show. And I think people should try to fight less on this issue it is OK to state your opinion without putting down somebody else’s that happens too much on this site.

    This is off topic, but I feel like I'm an authority on this for no particular reason. I don't like Prime. It's one of my least-favorite series. I don't like the things they did with some of the characters (particularly Bulkhead and Starscream) and I don't like the same-y narratives the episodes tended to fall into, and I don't like all of the people that worship the show like it's the second coming of Christ, when it shares a lot of the same problems that earlier shows had.

    HOWEVER.

    I can't say that Prime is a bad show. I really didn't like it, but I don't think it's somehow worse than some other shows. There are a lot of ways that Prime is better than Cybertron, a show I really really like. Prime did a lot of things well, and that's enough to put it ahead of a lot of Transformers shows (because, if we're being honest, quite a few of them aren't that good). Of the shows I've seen, I'd rank Prime somewhere in the middle.

    TL;DR: I don't like Prime, but I wouldn't call it bad, just divisive.

    To the people who think Animated was the last legit good TF show and the others that came after it are beyond horrible or at least flawed beyond belief, Animated itself didn't always get everything right either. Same goes for Beast Wars. They're well written shows true but they weren't also above criticisms and had their share of flaws so putting them that high on the pedestal I feel is doing more harm then good because it's going to lead into people getting their expectations so high to the point of being let down every time it does something people don't like. I feel it's both unfair to both the new shows who are trying to do their own thing and to the people who just want to enjoy the series without needless drama.

    Which is why that even though there are things I'm not a fan of in Cyberverse I'm not gonna be that guy that mindlessly rips it a new one for not being what I think needs to be a quality series like how I didn't want to be that guy that ripped RID15 a new one because it didn't carry on the things that I dig about TFP especially since Prime itself got ripped a new one beyond belief when it was airing for the flaws it has. I'm willing to see where Cyberverse will go because for all I know it could end up like Animated when it comes to god surprises.

    Here's your middle ground: it was a watchable, competently written show which was ultimately too earnest and unoriginal to really shine.

    In terms of comparing these shows, the order matters. Part of the reason Prime was a bit bland and Cyberverse is super, super bland is because these are all story beats we've seen before at this stage. If Prime had preceded Animated and the movies, though, it would probably be credited with a lot of great ideas.

    Honestly, at this stage I never want to hear about the Allspark ever again, Megatron is about as convincingly threatening as a lamp post, and I can barely remember why Bumblebee was my favourite character growing up.

    The only issue I have with Cyberverse so far is that it hasn't really done anything unique. Just kinda reiterated stuff and lore that's already been established; but then this is Ep 3. It still has a lot of time to do something unique with its' plot.

    Here's a better consideration, make the next Transformers cartoon ran by people that worked on a Number of DC Cartoons instead.

    Eh, I've been watching and loving Netflix's Voltron, and especially with the latest season, I was thinking, this could totally work for Transformers.
