    I'm warming up to Arcee, Ratchet, and Optimus and even Megatron to a point but I REALLY don't like BB or Cliffjumper. I'm not really a Geewunner but to me Bumblebee and Cj should be some small compact car not sports/muscle cars that many other characters already transform in to.

    Yeah, I really wish they'd go back to that. There's no shortage of other characters with sportscar altmodes. Leave some room for Jazz, Smokescreen, Tracks, Wheeljack, etc.


    No worries. If they did WFC toys, I'm pretty sure we'll get TFP toys.

    Where's Bulkhead? I was frickin' THERE at BotCon when they announced he'd be part of the main cast.

    Miko... Oh lord, I KNEW she was going to be a Sari rip-off but I'd hoped they'd have more common sense than to actually go through with it.

    Jack... He is the offspring of the emo swarm spawned by Kicker and Sam. DIE DIE DIE.

    The other kid... PLEASE be better than Bud. PLEASE.

    That's what I'm thinking too. I hope we do get a toyline eventually. I'd be surprised if we didn't.

    I'm loving everything about these designs and animation... except for maybe the humans. :lol

    Man, I'm having difficulty swallowing the fact that TFP is in WFC continuity. Too much aesthetic/character design clash.

    Definitely want a Ratchet toy.

    Not liking the human characters so far.

    The Transformers, on the other hand, look great. I especially like Cliffjumper; for the first time ever he's not a Bumblebee repaint! Looks like he'd make for a great toy, too.
    I hope Lockdown is in this series...

    I like 'em better than most of the bots. They're definitely better than I was expecting.

    So far, visually, I love it. Haters can eat slag, this is the show I wanted back after I saw the 2007 film. I can't wait.

    I actually really like Cliff's redneck alt-mode with the horns on the hood. That's hilarious, but awesome.

    I'm actually getting a Verity vibe off of Miko. but maybe that's just me.

    Ratchet is the best thing to come out of this year's SDCC.

    Wait What?!! Three human kids?!!! Why can't we have some interesting adult humans like they had in Animated for a change?:mad 
    If there's anything I didn't like about Armada, it was the trio of annoying kids!!The comic's power trio, though, was just a little less annoying.

    Sigh.

    :lol  I agree.
    But I'm loving the cgi so far!!! Them shiiinnny bots!!:D

    Yeah, I was kind of hoping we'd get to see Bulky's new design, as well as Screamer. Eh well. All in do time.

    I really like Megatron though.
    Glad to hear about Welker mixing up the voice a bit. I'm eager to hear it.

    Also glad to hear that they're actually doing the whole "robots in disguise" thing, in where they actually are trying to keep a low profile. That was one of the very few things that bugged me about TFA. They just kind of threw that concept to the wayside. "Yeah, they're robots in disguise...Kinda...Sorta...Whatever."

    Just because Armada got it wrong doesn't mean they will. Armada got most things wrong.

    Seen through the eyes of kids, alien robots should be all the more exciting. I'm sure there'll be adult characters as well.

    Must say I am dissapointed with how much Movie-like it is. I PRAY Megs will look like WFC, except he turns into a jet of course.

    Is this just me or is anyone else getting a RID Prime vibe off this guy? Especially in the chest and thighs? It just reminds me of the shiny chrome alien detail on Prime's (stomach?).Personally I like everything except the arms, I don't know whats going on with the shoulders or the Megaman cannon arm look, the windows look good for being giant TV screens which would actually be kind of cool..I can't really say much until the statue is completed

    If I'm not mistaken, it was said during the TF-Prime panel. Though I'm not sure specifically who said it. It was also stated that TFP is in the WFC continuity.

    I get a RID Prime vibe from him too. It's probably the reason he's one of my favorite of the designs. I'm a big fan of RID, though I'm actually glad to see a Transformers TV show that doesn't have Prime transform into a firetruck (which hasn't happened since Energon).

    I don't see how all the curved surfaces on these new designs are going to work on the toys... one mode or the other is really going to suffer.
