    Pros-
    Some of the toys - Scorponok, Mirage, Galvatron, and I like Shockblast for all its faults
    The moments of cel shaded animation. They were nice.
    Hot Shot seemed less annoying in this.

    Cons-
    IRONHIDE. I hates him.
    Terrible story...most of it anyway.
    Demolishor dying just to be reformatted.
    Inferno's death....then return.

    Overall I felt the toys were a step up, but the show was a step down from Armada.

    I agree that the cell animated robots were very cool. (though you know you've defeated the purpose of using CGI when you replace it with standard animation because it looks better than the CGI!)

    Well, Energon was when I started buying a lot more Transformers, I bought the toys a lot more than I watched the show (which was the reverse of what I did with most series before that. I was a fan, but didn't have many toys.). I remember the cartoon sucked, and I hardly watched it.

    What I liked though? Here:

    The Silver Powerlinx combiners. Any two Deluxe Autobots could merge, and that was fun.
    The weapons were always fun to attach together and make into uber weapons.
    Rodimus. He was a really awesome toy.
    Scorponok's awesome Triple Changer Toy.
    Demolishor's toy.

    What I didn't like?
    The whole cartoon. I go back and watch it now, and I groan at how cheesy and annoying it was.
    Red Powerlinx. "Combine with yourself!", WTF?

    Well, I was only twelve when Energon first aired, and I only caught a few episodes due to CN's horrible scheduling, so most of what I got was from the toys. Looking back, Kicker is pretty obnoxious... But at least the toys were pretty good.

    I don't have any of the toys, so I can't say anything about that (but the any delux class toy can connect with any other delux class toy sounds neat).

    As for the show, the only thing I really lied about it was all the homages. The only thing that kept me going in the series was the question: who's gonna be re made next? I went in it knowing the story was gonna be lame so I wasn't surprised when the story was confusing.

    For me the good points were:
    All the homages.

    The bad points:
    I hated Kicker.
    I hated Ironhide, coming out of G1, i was expecting something different from the character.
    I hated Snowcat. I didn't mind what the did to Cyclonus, but damn, that yodeling was annoying.
