    Awesome, from what I know they do decent work when it comes to animation.

    Just... please be good. You have a good studio and a good premise, don't mess it up.

    The animation they make is good. I'm just dissapointed it's 3D and not 2D.... I miss 2D so much...

    I’ll admit this is inspiring a little more confidence in this show, I expected it to be 3D and honestly their work looks good

    Isn't this the same studio doing the new MLP show? Looks very similar to that.
    You will never ever ever get another 2D transformers cartoon. Like, ever. Even Japan is struggling to keep 2d robots in shows that are 90% people talking and walking with robots being only there for the action. A show like Transformers that will recquire robots transforming all the time and being the vast majority of the screentime is a project no one would take, and if they did, it would recquire a very long and expensive production schedule.

    I hope it would be 2D because the team behind Rise of TMNT is behind this new show. Oh well.

    The team behind Rise of TMTN is not behind this show. Some of the people that worked on it are working here too, but the actual staff is not remotely close to being a significant number.
    And, again, Rise of TMNT was not a show that would have to deal with massive screentime for robots and vehicles.

    can't say any of their shows look like they'd make good TF animation. All of them look samey and bland.

    It is?? I think i saw some were that one was going to be on Line. And Not TV. Hmmm? Well lets hope hasbro makes a TF Series that fans want & not something only for 2 year olds.

    I am glad they are going away from Boulder Media, as I was not a fan of RBA or Cyberverse. However Icon\'s resume is a mixed bag. I\'ve seen the Kong series on netflix. It is Garbage. I\'ve not seen Elena or Monsters at Work, but Disney tends to not let just anyone mess with their properties, those seem fairly decent just based on the visuals alone. I guess it depends on how much Hasbro is willing to pay. Same with Polygon. They can make something Amazing such as Transformers Prime, or you can pay them 1/100th, and get a turd like Machinima\'s Prime Wars,or maybe a bit more and get a polished turd like Netflix WFC.

    2D or 3D, it would be hard to have an art “style” worse than that one. It drove my daughter right out of her fandom of the IP, which is both frustrating and completely understandable.

    I hate rise of tmnt, especially when you compare it to the 2012 show and style (which I love). Hopefully it’s not as dumb as the writing of the rise show.

    Nah, that BotBots show is going on Netflix. The Nick show is completely different.
