    The writers and show runners bring it down I think, but what with it being on a platfrom people actually have and like, the quality control on the whole thing might have standards.

    "Transformers Veteran FJ DeSanto"......veteran of what exactly? Going three for three for worst Transformers animated content ever? Jesus. Prime Wars was an unwatchable clusterfuck of epic proportions. How the fuck do people like this keep getting rehired? I seriously do not understand it.

    No, I know this is a double post, but seriously, this pisses me off so fucking much. Was there *anyone* who watched CW, TR or POTP and thought "wow, this is incredible! I sure hope whoever put this together keeps working on this franchise going forward!"? What the fucking fuck?! It makes me question the sanity of the Hasbro executive team.

    This is the exact same situation that the Star Trek franchise is in with Alex Kurtzman as the show runner, who seems to be doing his damndest to provide an abysmal product.

    This just baffles the fuck out of me.

    Except the last season of Machinima’s stuff was actually pretty damn good. Netflix won’t let that visual quality and writing of the first two seasons get by. People just need to calm the hell down.

    Well, when you have the same creative force behind it, yes, yes it can.

    The problem with the Machinima series wasn't related to budget - it was just a disaster of storytelling and characterization on all levels.

    Yes. I did. When I watched the last season. It could have used some polish but each season got better than the previous.

    I don\'t really waste time on Netfilx but it looks as though that I\'ll have to make an account just for this new Transformers show.

    Anyone can make a bad movie. And with animation projects, it can be a lot harder to change the script on the fly. Could be the guy just got saddled with a less than stellar project.

    Here’s hoping he can score some sweet, sweet redemption with WFC.

    Natural evolution is probably the opposite of space magic. A fictional version of natural evolution makes far more sense than anything else. But, yes, G1 had quite a bit ideas that could be improved, or even scrapped altogether. I just hope they don't replace the smart stuff with some of the dumb from later iterations. In other words, I hope they trust their audience's intelligence and they come up with a smart show. Now it's a chance.

    If Wheeljack is in this series, who knows if that means we will get a figure of him in the future.

    well the fact that it’s on Netflix hopefully means it will be a more legitimate and higher-standard show than the past Machinima efforts.

    The io9 article for this got me real excited with the Animated header image :/

    Gavin Free better voice someone or I’m out.

    ...But seriously though I have more faith in the people who made the “Tower of Pimps” than Machinima to make a good Transformers thing.

    gears, levers and pulleys arent naturally occuring though, so they cant naturally evolve, so space magic

    Hearing that they said they with Rooster Teeth, it makes me feel happy and excited for the show. Though its released on next year but all will be worth it.
