You guys have missed the point....

 

Its hard to get drawn into a character's development when half their lines are...

 

EAR SPLITTING SHRIEKS!!!

 

When hes on the screen 9 times outta 10 my ears are bleeding. I'd rather drive out to the airport and listen to planes take off.

 

The person who said that Energon was anime and geared toward a Japanese audience was exactly right.

 

So why the hell are we seeing it?

 

BW was fun because it appealed to everyone. Even if you didn't like the toys. Humour and likeable characters with a good story. The anoyance factor was very low. BM was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than armada or energon but it was still strange.

 

Hasbro needs to go back to Mainframe to do a TF series for NA. Preferably not too stylized like BM was and with more bots and less wildlife.

I don't think that they need to completely re-do Energon, and only to make some minor adjustments like ditching Kicker and giving Ironhide a less-annoying voice.

I just wish kicker would stop kicking Ironhide! It's dumb. Kicker.... Even the NAME is dumb.

Rad was a losser he kept incesting that the Decepticons painfuly reprogramed the Mini-cons when they were shown to be with the cons by choice.

He kept "incesting" the Decepticons? Is he from Mississippi?

I can tolerate Kicker but lets face a fact here, every line had a relate to the kids character. G1 Spike or Daniel, BW Waspinator and Cheetor, BM Nightscream, RID predacons, Armada kids and Hot Shot, and Energon Kicker and Ironhide. These characters purpose was to lighten the mood or something and most adult TF fans don't care too much for them, at least I see em as a weak point.
