    Awesome.

    Just, awesome.

    I think that's my favorite art style i've seen in a LOOONG time, it reminds me of those old Japanese Mecha like Mazinger.

    I hold no expectations till I see the final product. *still holds microscopic resentment that there was no S4 of Animated and no truely tied up loose ends*

    At first I wondered did I have Hub from my cable company and then I found out it used to be Discovery Kids.

    Well it's pretty good for a WIP. Bee's transformation was CRAP but, then again, WIP. I hated The animation in Beast Wars but this is way better.

    I don't like the fact that these "Troopers" are kind of like Transformers "Red Shirts" but oh well, if the use them like Masterforce used the Seacons I'll be alright with it.

    Everyone who says the designs from G1 look more "mature" clearly has no grasp of the meaning of "mature". I guess a cardboard box looks more mature than a hydraulic arm.

    One thing no one can complain about is the inevitability of hot girls cosplaying as Miko Tezuka.

    I just showed the clip to my 2 sons, aged 5 and 7, and they both loved it. I just didn't like BB's transformation sequence. It seemed kinda boring, can be more dynamic.

    Hasbro is sticking with the Bay's movie designs because thats how most of the new generation of TF fans know them to be. So better get used to it 'cause looks like Hasbro is sticking with this aesthetic for the long haul.

    I guess "Raf" Esquivel will herald the return of the Holy Frijoles!

    I'd watch it.

    Three fingers? Eh, they are Aliens. It looks like they are using the same software or technique that Hasbro used in Star Wars The Clone War series.
    I'd watch it.

    The quality of the character models was quite good in that video, but the transformation sequence itself reminded me of a marginally more intricate Cyber Missions clip. Hopefully it'll be improved.

    Looks pretty cool to me.

    I have no problem with Decepticon redshirts or drones. It's just this time they are clones of a single car-bot, rather than a jet-bot or a camera-bot.

    There will be more 'cons, obviously.

    Also, gotta say: I feel like the hardest major Transformer to get right in any reinvention is Megatron. They like to give Megatron a flying altmode, but IMO it's got to have a huge gun in altmode or it's not Megatron. It never would have occurred to me to put the gun on top of a spaceship mode, but they did and somehow they NAILED it.

    It's also about time that Arcee was a major character, that Hasbro realizes that pink =/= girl, and that Cliffjumper stopped being Red Bumblebee.

    Like the designs; good stylisation of the movie look, strong colour palette & consistent forms, nice work. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

    The clip was underwhelming tho, surprisingly unremarkable & unpolished for a public reveal. They must be up against it turning the show round on time at the moment. I expect they'll be aiming to follow that up with a polished clip fairly quickly.

    The Decepticon drone troopers thing is just killing any hopes I had for this series. Drones just aren't a very good story telling tool and they always end as the most boring part of any series. They were boring in Beast Machines, they were boring in GI Joe Sigma Six, and they are boring in Star Wars the Clone Wars, so hey lets do more drones. I don't know I guess when they kept name dropping Beast Wars I got my hopes up for something where the bad guys win some times not good guys always win because they slaughtered a ton of drones with no personality.

    I'm kind of digging the designs like Arcee and Ratchet who don't seem anything like their movie designs, but some of the other characters have so many movie elements that I'm feeling rather blah about them. Like someone else said I think I'd have liked something that felt new instead of already been there done that.

    I don't know maybe the show will be better than I'm expecting but until they start showing some Decepticons that aren't drones or say something like don't worry guys the Decepticons are going to be kicking butts some weeks it's just hard to get excited.

    Well, I don't like the concept of having a trio of possibly annoying kids to add to your point. The fact that there could be episodes where there's at least one of or two of them will still along with another possibly adult human. Uggh!!:mad 

    But then what? I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope that they will somehow make it work or write some realy awesome episodes that will at least keep me watching . After all, didn't they promise us humans will not be the focus? Animated would have shown them that their lead humans don't have to be in every episode as Sari was and even then, she still manages to be interesting.

    I think Animated has already taught us not to judge a series based on first impressions. This was a very short clip. Besides, I don't think this is an official trailer or even part of it. More likely, there are some cut scenes there as it's just a WIP.
