Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I've been a die-hard since getting Prime for Christmas way back in the day. I adored Beast Wars, and was very satisfied with Beast Machines.
This "show", takes ideas from all previous series, chews them up and mashes them together to present a piece of recycled tripe that is just jaw-dropping, and in this show's case, pun intended.
Could there not have been a more original way to start a new Transformers series? All they did was watch episode 1 of G1 & BW, and the Movie, and mushed them together. Pathetic.
Do the writers even care? Why is Prime even called Prime? Previous Primes earned it. Megatron? The feared demon who eats Protoforms for breakfast? Who is not even smart enough to figure out that letting your evil underling pat you on the back before you leave is a bad idea? Not that he could have missed the large hand-sized bomb that was left in a spot that also didn't impair his transformation, oh no. (God, I despise the writing of this show.)
And why, WHY, do people think a show about ROBOTS needs people? G1 was fine, since it was the first and it took place in "present day" The others were great without a single sapien. Watching this shows human characters made me appreciate the Movie a heck of a lot more. Could we at least have proper proportions?
All together, it is just a big disappointment.
COULD WE NOT HAVE HAD A FRESH START? NEW ROBOTS? COULD WE NOT HAVE THE GREAT PRIME AND MEGATRON BE HONORED BY HISTORY AND HAVE NEW CHARACTERS TO LOVE? I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE SAME THING. EVERY TIME.
My rating of one was given for the design of the bots. It would have been two if not for the huge chins. This trend started with Godzilla '98 and is getting rather old, very fast.
