    Designs and Ratchet before he turned boring after Orion Pax part 3. Knockout's still great though.

    Acting and Writing. The best for any SF/Fantasy show on American TV at this time. Crossfire and Flying Mind were both very well done. Peter Cullen & Frank Welker are outstanding, Steve Blum & Darran Norris are both really good as well

    I like the characterisation and dialogue. But the plot is risking becoming duller than Beast Wars or Beast Machines Season 1 ever was if it carries on like it is.

    Rescue Bots is better written "A lot better written".
    But each character has had a stand out moment or more (aside from the two newest ones).
    And overall it's a perfectly OK show - it's just a boring one.

    I'm going to nominate Miko for the Hall of Fame next year :D 

    She's my favorite kid if only because she exemplifies the sheer joy and excitement of living the dream - being around REAL transforming robits!!

    I hate the plot, dialog, most of the one sided fight scenes and the character designs. But the CGI is fine...

    It's so far an okay show. I can't say its the best that I've seen so far. But its still good. The advantage of TF Prime for me is that it is available when its hard to catch anything else with my schedule.

    Also, I like the aspects of Animated they incorporated into the series. I can't say its nostalgia. But I think some of appreciation of Animated characters ended up fueling my appreciaton for some of Prime's characters. These would be Bulkhead and Ratchet. They're different, but close enough.

    It also has some pretty good animation and voice acting. I am hoping the animators improve their world building capabilities. But with what they did so far, it was great. The same goes for the voice acting. Frank Welker is doing a remarkable job.

    Also, I keep watching because I can't help but hope that the series would become even better with time. This in part helped by the cross advertising of WFC, FOC and other parts of the aligned continuity.

    Whenever I see the additional details from the other parts of the aligned continuity added to the Prime universe, I can't helped but anticipate the time when these reveal themselves in the Prime cartoon.

    So when I saw Trypticon appear in WFC, I became excited to see his appearance in Transformers Prime. When I saw the Dinobots appear in FOC, I couldn't help but await for their appearance in Prime. When I read about the history of the 13 from the botcon news, I couldn't help but wait for their appearance in the Prime cartoon.

    All the Arcee fights. They're wonderfully animated.

    I love the robot designs. I love the voice acting (not Miko). The action is pretty good.

    How they are interacting, and what they are actually saying sometimes and doing to accomplish goals, that is another thing, haha ;)

    Because in my opinion, it combines the best portions of the franchise and whips up an awesome omelette of goodness.

    We've got the fan-service of G1.
    The stellar voice-cast/voice-acting, on par with Animated.
    The action, excitement and spectacle of Bayformers.
    The entertaining stories and concepts, on par with Beast Wars.

    Combine the above-mentioned things with what I consider to be my favourite aesthetic (to quote Split, "slick as f**k"), great figures and enough of its own thing to differentiate it from other series and you've got something that tickles me in a way that if Loretta tickled me in that way I'd say "Oh yeah, that's nice. That's the spot."

    I guess it does make a good little mini movie every week. Just something with heavy action to watch. Not sure if I'd support it by buying the DVDs though.

    no, I think it's a case of "you don't know what you had until it's gone."
    I say we let the writers run their show. at least they're not killing off literally everyone. we've still got all of the main autobots, and most of the decepticons, plus some new ones.
