so yeah G1 footage gave me a whole load of Geek wank material also SS ruled and could have won easy if the all spark hadn't fired up

also the humans i like them all so far. the doctors huge secrete about all his robots being made from Megatron's technology is a cool idea plus looking at the size of Megatrons head he will be massive even next to prime. Sari is what i want to see in a human kid, plucky, fun loving not the type we get most of the time that seem to be rather emo.

as for the jokes i really liked them, the ones that stuck out as quite cleaver was when BB and sari first meet and exchange names and when sari tells to prime how humans reproduce and you just see that shocked look on primes face

It was well fun to watch, however the whole Ultra Magnus the supreme commander of the Autobots made me wonder and give a big WTGS is this...

However I did like the Kup/Ratchet blending for ratchet.

attention people who missed it
the movie will be on again saturday
get those dvrs ready

Soo.....Did anyone else spot Spike, Carly and Daniel? I skimmed through the post and didn't see them mentioned yet. They were in the opening Detroit's future scene. The camera was on them for at least like 6 seconds

what time I missed the first 30 mins

I deserve to my fan license removed. I'm just now realizing the significance of the New Prime having an Axe.

Don't be too hasty there, sir. I'm laying down bets that Sari, the ten year old daughter of a mate-less, and old robot developer, isn't as human as we think she is.

Think about it - her dad was an adult when he found Megatron's head, and now fifty later he's got a daughter? How old was he when she was born? Seventy? Eighty? Plus, she "interfaced" with the Allspark, and isn't allowed to hang out with other kids. I think these are intentional clues.


Ya hear that, Tramp!? Cybertronians don't know about sex. They don't do it.

Something else to chew on: The time jump? Yeah. 50 years without knowing what's going on with Cybertron, and we know some of the other decepticons jumped away and left Starscream to die...

There's a very good chance that Cybertron won't be ruled by Ultra Magnus when they find their way home -- which, incidentally, is something only Starscream knows how to do at this point.

interesting idea about sari but she still fills the role of the child character for now

The only 5 Decepticons anyone's seen in forever are scattered through the universe, Megatron's head is in a factory in Detroit and the Autobots that went into stasis were just a lowly repair crew - I think Cybertron's just fine, personally.

And I'm not sure Starscream knows the way back.

Um...I'm pretty sure that shot of him finding Meg's head is Sumdac as a kid. He looked very kidly to me.


I loved that gag as well.


BTW...did anyone notice that Sari's robo-dog is named Sparkplug?

I was astounded at the number of G1 references (and there were even a few Beast Wars references, too)! You can tell the writers and animators are going out of their way to appease the fanboys. It really makes the show special for the fans.The premiere itself was simply incredible. I already had high hopes for the show, and this still managed to impress me. Cool, stylized animation (I didn't even notice the radical design changes after a few minutes), FANTASTIC voice acting (Tom Kenney really stole the show, though, as Starscream), and clever writing. The perfect blend of humor, action, and good storytelling. Sari didn't even get on my nerves, which surprised me as she is the first human character in a Transformers series not to- there's still time for that, though.I can already tell that this is going to be the best Transformers series since Beast Wars/Beast Machines.Not to completely throw out your theory, but the series preview disc received by several Transformers websites stated that Sari was adopted.

I don't think that her status as "Adopted" invalidates my theory that she's an android built by her "father" - if he never married/mated, and wanted to keep her true nature secret, he'd have to explain her presence somehow.

As for Sumdac's age when he found the head - I'll need to rewatch it, but I thought he was an adult when I saw it last night.

could sari be a robot? What kind of dad would let her kind go into battle with robots.

*& in steps the voice of reason* Romper stomper bomper boo, tell me tell me, tell me true. magic mirror tell me today, did all my TF friends have fun MIND WARPING THEMSELVES ABOUT HOW LAME THIS POS SHOW IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TF animated, how do I hate thee. let me count the ways.
1). the animation is eve worse than ben 10. like what's up w/thoes strero sypical animé mouths??? its lame enough when its done in Jap animé, but even lamer when Americans try to dub it.
2). the bots transformation! some one already said one moment you see parts moving & the next its like a magic trick. well IMO even when the parts do "so called move", its still not good enough!
3). plot & storyline. ok, so let me get this straight UM & Ratchet are still old as dirt, but some how OP sounds like he still needs a booster seat when going to the movies! ok maby that's to harsh, but dude deffinatly sounds like he's not old enough to sit at a bar & order a drink.
why-O-why does Hollywood constantly feel the lame ass need to make the star young so stupid kids can feel they relate to the chacter??? when I was a child I NEVER NEEDED ANY SUCH THING!
TFs 80ies still became an icon hit w/out the dumbing down effect.
3). the way the humans look! ok, so we see the Witwicly family in the background & there for get a sence of what humans look like, right!
so what in the hell happened to the human race that now all of a sudden every one has football & basketball size heads & feet that are TOTALY disporportionate to their bodies!
4). what's the deal w/the suspended animation chambers??? think about it people! why the hell would a robot need a refigerated sleep chamber? & the hell did the have need of useing them if OP directed the ship in to a water landing! we later see (like in G1), that water doesn't affect them, & that they are indeed submersable.
so why not just blast a hole in the ship & get out???
5). the fact that this future is over ran & well populated w/robots of all kinds only serves to up-stage the TFs.

ok, I don't know what that was


anyway. Yikes!


I have seaspray in my pants.

this is good stuff, Beastwars good...maybe not Beastwars season 2 yet, but close. G1 Fan service is always good, actually showing G1 Footage is even better.

Did anyone else think that the motorcycle cop on the show looked like the one from the C.O.P.S. animated series?


I like the whole near-future Detroit idea. It's very Robocop. Heck, the city used on the show could almost be Delta City.

I think SQ forgot to take off his 80s glasses.

Sari's father with his latest creation.

so when is the next episode?

He was a child, because he didn;t have his moustachio yet.

And, I liked this show, despite it obviously being aimed at kids. If you cannot appreciate this show for what it is, you need to move out of your parents' basement.

so what time on saturday is it going to repeat?

I liked it but I have to agree with sq on op's voice. insecurity and self loathing do not fit with a leader. that's why rodimus always sucked. I liked the show but the op repeating how he wasn't a leader or a hero in a kids voice just got old. he sounded like e ironhide with all that.

In case you guys weren't paying attention, he's not supposed to be "Optimus Prime the Awesome Leader of Awesomeness"

Yet

honestly,i thought when the allspark opened he was gonna grow 3 sizes and get a polo collar with a deep voice to boot.

PROTIP: a dvdrip is available on TPB

that is all

or maby you forgot to take off your rose colored glasses *wink*.
nonsence! its not that I wanted it to be 80ies in nature, the show is simply poor in content & quality.
someone already asked why Hasbro is delaying the release of the toy line. well if you ask me I think I just answered your question. deep down in there harts Hasbro know this show is "wanting" in soooooooooo many ways, I've lost count.
there scared once the fan-hype has faded, they'll be left w/a bunch of animated TFs that are on the fast track too the clearance bin. & speaking of that very point, I'm soooooooooooooooo glad I'm finding out now that this show sucks a fat one. this way it helps me to save money toward Botcon. like what's up w/that lame background FX when they were about to go in to battle. you know when they try to make it look like their flying thru the air.
this FX didn't work or help TF energon .
its a cheap trick that only works on the weak minded. its done when the transformation is limited & poorly articulated. so they give it that "fast action" back drop behind the TFs to create the illiution of a lot going on, when in fact its not.
put it like this. I know know what TFs would look like if Fisher Price or maby Play Skool got their hands on the product.
HAY! I know, i'll call this the "GO-BOTS" triumphant return to the small screen! LAMO!

something something SHUT THE FACK UP something something


I enjoyed this premier I am curious to see how megs gets re-assembled

they been doin that backdrop gimmick since g2. on and off.

This cartoon sure had it's G1 connections, but one that I haven't seen mentioned is that the Autobots, once again, meet the main human characters in their place of work.

ah i missed the first half. curses! but with it coming back saturday, i'll have it on TIVO this time!

i got the end. and Starscream in all his glory

best Starscream ever!

I know you are bent on hate so much that this won't matter, but...
3. - It's been stated MANY MANY times over that Optimus Prime is NOT supreme commander. He is just a field commander for a group of repair bots. That is all. He isn't part of the giant chain of command yet. He is young and more Optimus Primal than anything else.
4. - Those were Stasis Pods. Stated by Optimus as such. You know, the things from Beast Wars that protect Protoforms/TFs.
5. - Or it could used by, say, Megatron to create a massive Decepticon Army. Also, the bots in the city didn't seem to do a damned thing compared to the Autobots.

Me, I loved it. Enjoyed it immensely. Took a bit to get used to the human design here and there, but overall I really enjoyed it. Ratchet is easily my favorite character thus far - I loved his character so much and I loved his grumpy and smartass attitude. I liked all the Autobots and what little bit of the Decepticons were got to see. Blitzwing is gonna rule, I can see it. Starscream was great and for the first time actually effective and not a total dumbass.

I can't wait to see more of it, and I really wanna see Lockdown and Soundwave now.

Wow, you are one bitter angry person. Was this the greatest cartoon ever? No. Does it seem dumbed down? Maybe a little, but the G1 episodes were not exactly Shakespeare in their content.

Your biggest point of outrage seems to be how they transform. This is just way too big of a stickler point.

I really hope these are tongue in cheak posts, because if they are not, you really strike me as a sad lonely individual who can't take much happiness out of life.

Who is this person you are quoting?

Oh, I see. Someone I've already long since Ignored.

What about those who don't have cable? Are we to codle them too? Whatever happened to "You snooze, you lose"? BTW I snoozed and missed out. Oh well tivo is set for saturday morning for this kids cartoon as judging by its air time only kiddies will be up watching that early on a saturday morning.

And those overseas, who will have to wait months for the show to appear on TV, if at all.

I can understand the need for spoiler-prevention in general, but in a thread like this, I believe it's rather obvious that there will be spoilers.

Up on YouTube y'all.

Go watch it!

So for Ratchet...I thought he died, you know in the movie.

Different Ratchet.

Who was he, did they say?

Dude, he's just Ratchet. The movie (either one) doesn't connect to this.

And for the record, Ratchet didn't die in the movie either.

I really don't think he was a child. Just a young adult. That explains why his animation model is almost the same 50 years later, just with a streak of white hair and a moustache.

And I didn't mean to say that her adopted status throws out your theory at all. I just wanted to throw that into the conversation. I think my opening line with that statement made me sound a bit rude, but I wasn't trying to sound mean about it.

Yay! I'm not the only one.


No offense taken.

Just to point something out something interesting. Sari does not refer to herself as a human, but as a "she." She also keeps explaining the way humans do things, not "we." She also seems to be sheltered, doesn't go to school. I'd say she'll probably turn out to be a robot... which would kinda make Megatron her Mommy.

Which will lead to the inevitable Megatron taking control of her and turning her against the Autobots! Maybe.

Yeah.

And FWIW, just because they used G1 animation in the beginning of the episode and there was mention of "the great war" doesn't mean that this show ties into G1.

Well, the fact that the allspark interacted with her.. Might be a good giveaway.

I do like the out of control nanites. It gives Megs a place to get his decepticon army from, that works out better than the "drones" of Beast Machines.

I loved BB's comment about how there was something in the sky that wasn't a decepticon.

Well if that explanation couldn't get any lamer... Maybe you just didn't listen to the conversation between Optimus and Ratchet then. Then again I wouldn't want to throw a wrench into anyones new childhood memories.

Go back watch/listen again...Prime tells Ratchet that he was there (for the Great War). The G1 history videos are directly linked. Who knows maybe it ties into Animorphs then.

The producers have said the opening animation is fanwank only...besides the timeline of a lot of story elements in this show couldn't possibly coincide with what happened in G1: For instance why would the Autobots be ignorant about humans if Ratchet and Ultra Magnus were surviving characters from G1 carried over?

So, there was a Great War, just not the same Great War as happened in G1. Total reboot. Try and keep up instead of calling people lame.

Haven't started calling anyone names...yet.
