    The animation is fine IMO, RiD was better. Also, faces look weird as Hell here.

    I just watched both the first episodes. I like the animation style and the premise of the story, but IMO the way they dumbed down the plot, when we just had shows like Prime and even RID2015, feels insulting. The fights don’t feel like they have any weight behind their punches; they’re also where the animation shows it’s limitations.

    I feel that Hasbro wants Cyberverse to be a very generic crash-course in Transformers as a whole for brand-new and very young fans. And having it as Bumblebee patching his memories together is the perfect format for this.

    Thanks to the youtube links i was finally able to watch this ( still no sign of it on UK television ) .

    I am actually impressed .
    The animation looks nice , Bee is a lot less boring than his RID15 version and the show has a good pace .

    animation was fine, but man the jokes fall flat and bee's "voice" doesnt work.

    I'm gonna give it another chance, but its falling flat so far. It just has no heart or soul to it at all.

    ...i've been rating these episodes three/fine, but really they're more like two-five/weak, not weak enough to call poor, but definitely on the downside of fine...

    ...visually, the best part is the opening credits; i wish the actual episodes held to that same fluid, expressive standard of animation...

    It was...ok...ish? Not too keen on the style, but apparently kids shows are that way now or something, I don't know. I think Bumblebee's "radio voice" would have worked a bit better if the VA would have altered his voice to sound different, or they would have had the different VAs record individual lines or words and put them together.

    On a funny side note, my girlfriend's first words when watching were "Why is Windblade's ass glowing?"

    Completely agree. If they keep up the ongoing storyline thing, 11 isn't bad. Bee was super annoying and I'm hoping that goes away.
    Definitely potential. I enjoyed ep 2 a lot more and like where it's going.

    It was ok. It did hold my three-year old's attention though.
