    I loved it know alot of people think the CGI isnt up to par but give it time. If you remember Beast Wars got better as it went along if you watch the first couple of episodes it wasnt that great. Even with Beast Machines after beast wars the animation wasnt incredible but got better in the run. I like that it is darker. I just rewatched beast machines and that was a little darker then the normal Transformers and i loved it. Its nice to have the kiddy stuff but for us old fans its nice to have something we can watch and feel it is really good. Unlike A/E/C

    Ha ha, I loved that part as well. Plus it's a nice little way to say we heard what people didn't like and our egos aren't so big that we can't try to make something better.

    My excitement continues to build, and this video clip was great fun. I hope that continues to spill over into the series and the rest of the franchise :)

    i cant wait! Prime's bulkhead is so different from tfa. I wonder how takara will translate them to toy form.
    how long did it take for tfa toys to hit shelves after the premiere?

    YES! Bulkhead not only kicks ass, he rips them off!

    But another good thing about this is that he kept his gentleness from TFA. This is cool.

    Speaking of which. I'd they not go the route of turning Decepticons into cannon fodder, so the autobots taking out drones(eradicons) doesn't really bother me. I'd rather the autobots take out a few dozen Eradicons than have Strika or Shockwave appear only to die in an episode or two. I'd rather have them take out a few dozen Eradicons than have lasers continue to veer off target or have the main Decepticon characters continue to retreat battle after battle, episode after episode. They have to keep the main Decepticons as effective threats.

    Yeah, still not really getting hyped for TF-Prime yet. The first couple of episodes really need to kick some ass to sell me on it. Just hope someone can Yoo-Toob em...

    "I got it! Megatron barfs!"
    "Megatron barfs?
    "Yeah, it'll be awesome."

    "Save it for the movies; this actually has to be good! ... Think classy."
    ...
    "Megatron vomits!"
    ...
    "You're magical." *fist bump*
    :lol 
    Not gonna' lie, I geek-laughed at that. A lot.

    It's nice to see the writers poke fun at themselves/their work and it's always awesome to see them take time out of their schedule to do a little fun not-so-serious project like this.

    And as for the actual Prime footage: :bay 

    I like this incarnation of Bulkhead. Although he resembles his Animated counterpart physically, the contrast with him being the "big, tough bruiser" as opposed to the "simple, clumsy 'bot" is nice. Richardson's voice is a perfect fit with this version.

    I'm liking the variety in camera angles and filming techniques that they put in there. The ramping/slow-motion is a great touch (reminds me of the epicness of Bay's movies), and showing things from both the Transformers' and the humans POV. But I will nitpick about the scale. If Bulkhead's supposed to be this sort of off-roadish-jeep-thing, than why is he upwards of 35 feet tall? I mean, if he had a different, bigger alternate mode than sure, or unless that jeep alternate mode of his is monstrously oversized... Not that I care that much: giant robots, man! And it's interesting to see that Bulkhead cared enough to try and have Miko(?) avoid the sight of him ripping out the Eradicon's intestines. Though, Miko didn't really seem to look away, and Bulkhead was probably like: "Miko, look away! Turn your head away!" *thinking*Darn it, she's not turning away. Oh well.*thinking* RRRIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!! Well, he tried, she didn't listen, if she's traumatized, it's her own fault. ;) 

    And I'm kind of torn (not unlike that Eradicon in the clip. Ha! Nerd jokes...) on the concept of these expendable drones. From what we've seen, they're the ones doing most of the fighting. Now, I understand that you've got to have some replaceable Decepticons in here, whether it be drones in Beast Machines, protoforms in Bayformers, Stormtroopers in Star Wars, etc., but I sure hope that the main Decepticons like Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave get an adequate amount of fighting and screentime. Either way, I am very excited about this. I expect good things. :)

    These Autobots just don't seem to know much about human culture. Bulkhead tells Miko to look away? Have they seen our movies and the level of blood and gore featured in them? I could see Miko bringing the Autobots a DVD of "Machete" in January when it comes out. She'd be like, "Machete, coolest movie ever!" And Jack would be like, "Yeah, Machete is awesome! Of course I had to sneek into the movie theatre to see it because I wasn't old enough." After the first five minutes into it, all the Autobots, except maybe Cliffjumper (assuming he comes back) would either run for their lives from it or smash the DVD into a million pieces and demand that the human kids never show them that or anything like it again! And Miko would make some sarcastic remark like, "Would you rather watch 'My Little Pony' instead?"

    If I'm not mistaken, these guys are also involved in the Hawaii 5-0 remake.

    If you haven't seen it yet, or dismiss it as Grace Park fan service, you're missing out.
    Action TV hasn't been this much fun since the A-Team, they've really got something going with it.

    (now if only they'd flesh out Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park's characters a little bit more.)

    Also since EVERYONE noticed the "save it for the movies" line, and one person noticed "she didn't wash her hands (in the MEN'S room no less)" and another person noticed "can you guys do the robot?" I'm only going to add,,,

    ",,,we're getting paid for this, right?"

    That is some pretty awful and generic CGI. Not feeling the need to watch this show at all.
