    I just wish the toys that are in the line were in the damn show. We got the Ark…and maybe scorponok. I can’t recall right off my head if “they” were based on the scorponok toy. And yes yes the characters form kingdom are in it but much like Earthrise they’re not based on the toys that are out. I would have personally liked that especially considering how accurate the autobots and decepticons are but I knew that would be the case after Earthrise that they weren’t going to do it.

    In the moment, Kingdom is entirely enjoyable fluff, po-faced cheese not meant for a second thought. Walk away and deconstruct it and you - and it - are fucked. I don't ever mark stuff out of 10 but if I did this is definitely a

    naysayers woulda blown the budget before it was even animated with hiring the entire cast of G1 still around and beast wars and then sent cease and desists for stealing other writers stories


    I liked it just fine. It’s the best part for sure. Certainly not the worst transformers series or even second. Energon and victory still hold those titles

    Enjoyed it all - although without spoiling anything, the words "unfinished business" definitely spring to mind.

    Just finished Kingdom.

    I actually think that was pretty good.

    Not perfect, but still pretty good. Probably the best of the trilogy (although it does suck that they didn't get more episodes like they wanted).

    lol it’s more that it’s anime and I just can’t do anime almost at all. I didn’t like the story of victory at all. It took me 8 years and 5 attempts to get through it

    its it’s not bad at all and I’ll say it, beast megatrons really isn’t that bad. It’s a 180 for sure but I got used to it fast. If he was more prominent maybe but he’s just there really. He has a role yes but he’s not the mastermind or even remotely close to it. The voice acting isn’t as bad as the first two parts but it’s still not great and I was telling fenrys this because he hasn’t watch it yet but there’s a lot of beast wars references in this which means they watched beast wars but I have to ask “in what language?” Because the choices of voices arnt exactly the best haha

    Done. It's fine. Doesn't set the world alight but isn't the worst thing that the Transformers label has been attached to. Didn't get the end though but I wasn't paying that much attention.

    Just finished Kingdom. A solid 6/10. Much, much better than I though it was going to be. Hands-freaking-down the best part of the trilogy.

    Thoughts:

    • Voice acting improved from everyone. This wasn't stellar, mind you, but significantly better than Siege and Earthrise. I did not have to watch the show at 1.25x speed.
    • Rattrap, Airrazor, and Blackarachnia were surprisingly well-cast. I know this will invoke the ire of 10,000 demons (and even more angry BW fans), but they were passable. I liked them. Sue me.
    • Wheeljack - probably the best cast out of all the G1 Autobots
    • Dinobot - not amazing like his BW self, but a better-than-expected performance here
    • Teletraan/Ark - I liked what I saw, just wish there was much more of it, especially in Episode 6
    • Nemesis Prime - weak pay-off
    • BW Megatron - though not god awful as I thought, his personality basically felt like "What if Starscream was a T-Rex."
    • Sound mixing - WHAT THE FUCK WAS WITH THE SOUND MIXING? Either loud music and fronting a metal band is taking its toll on my hearing, my TV surround sound (or my less-than-1-year-old Macbook) is screwed up, or there were parts where the dialogue was almost impossible to hear.
    • Unicron - utter and total disappointment *mumble mumble mumble incoherent mumbling*
    • Elita-1, Jetfire, et al - absolutely no payoff here, one of my biggest gripes with the plot of the entire trilogy
    • Cliffhanger at the end of Episode 6 - maybe there will be more? I would like to see more set in this universe, but my god, fire the voice director.
    All in all, not at all the best thing to come from Transformers. Certainly, though, not the complete and total catastrophe that many people are exaggerating it to be. There will be butthurt fanboys no matter what series is produced. Were there problems with the series? Plenty, but there were redeemable things about it.

    Also, constantly hearing them refer to Nemesis as a name of a character rather than the Decepticon ship (like how Optimus had that confusion) confirms to me that Scourge should still be Nemesis Prime's new permanent name.

    biggest take away is: maybe go back to producing these things yourselves hasbro. Though I like others have concluded this is the product of rooster teeth taking over machinema’s partnership with the acquisition and it needed fulfilled. Hopefully this was the last of that partnership

    with all the other ones. Just like Earthrise(aside from skylynx) none of the G1 toys show up. Not even rodimus.

    I was prepared for none or very few of the toys being in this and I got what I expected

    Pretty sad when we don't even expect the characters who appeared in the toyline to appear in the show promoting the toyline.

    It feels like they swapped Dinobot and Tigatron voice actors by mistake or something lol.
