1) Are you looking forward to the new Transformers series? If so, what draws you most to the newest incarnation?

Yeah, I am looking forward to it. I'm already a huge fan of the Teen Titans show, so its kinda neat seein TFs done like this. The humor, characterization, and action are certainly in the same vein as Teen Titans.

 

2) The series is receiving almost universal praise for its voice cast. Which voice actors are you most looking forward to hearing?

Starscream!!! It was awesome hear Ultra Magnus's voice, he sounds like an aged version of the G1 Ultra Magnus. Also I'm glad the didn't over- do Bulkhead's voice. They got it just right. The last thing I wanted to hear was another Crumplezone.

 

3) The series is being written in the United States by "Beast Machines" scribe Marty Isenberg. How does this strike you, and do you think having the series created by Cartoon Network in the U.S. will be a nice change from the past few series?

Doesn't bother me at all. I thought the first season of Beast Machines was well written. BM was really good and making Megatron and the Vehicons real threats for the Maximals and seeing how many Autobots it took to nail one Decepticon in Animated, I think he's headed in a good direction. So as long as he doesn't start growing plants on Cybertron, I got no problems.

 

The show is awesome! I admit it is weird watching a TF show like this because of the style, but it is good. The voices are great, the characters have heart, plus the story and action are enjoyable.

Some one please PM me with something seedy and illicit....

 

 

Agreed! Please, please please somebody send me a link. I need to see this!

Naysayers be damned, this was awesome.

 

And Starscream's no longer inept...hell, he's downright ept. He accomplished more in this premiere than G1 SS pulled off in all of the 80s combined.

I guess I'll spoil all my comments...

 

 

ZOMG! Chibi animated movements in vehicle form! Constantly! ^_^

 

I like what they did with the Allspark- it's Moviecube-looking, BUT it's yellow-orange with handles, Matrix fans.

 

Blitzwing is FABULOUS

 

And I ruvs Spongescream Starpants.

 

 

The whole story is set up well, and I love it. Ratchet may be my favorite character.

Gotta say, I was really blown away by how solid the whole show was. It truly fely intesne watching those action scenes.

 

Some Negatives:

 

The Optimus Grapling hook might get a little over used. He's not Batman

 

I don't mind the way the bots are drawn, but some of the humans look a little too funky for me, especially the kids with the Orphan Annie eyes

 

 

These are both little quibbles though. As I stated earlier, this entire show was outstanding.

 

I sooo can not wait to see some Dinobots! :tfevil

If someone PMs me with a link to something... I would appreciate it.

 

... that is all.

1) Are you looking forward to the new Transformers series? If so, what draws you most to the newest incarnation?

I am not sure at this moment. The storyline and how it is developed is what I would like to see.

 

2) The series is receiving almost universal praise for its voice cast. Which voice actors are you most looking forward to hearing?

Frankly I couldn't care less. All I want is a show that satisfy my demanding needs.

 

3) The series is being written in the United States by "Beast Machines" scribe Marty Isenberg. How does this strike you, and do you think having the series created by Cartoon Network in the U.S. will be a nice change from the past few series?

I was not aware of this. :eek I will have to wait and see. I am not a big fan of BM or change in general, but if it is done well, I'm fine with it. As for CN, I'm a bit biased on them because of the way they threat the few robot shows they have. Couldn't care less about mass appeal and marketing. I just want a show I can enjoy.

 

Old may not be always best, but neither is new. I just hope I didn't sounded too closed minded/purist, though I must admit I'm half that. At least I like the new Starscream and Megatron compared to the ones in the live movie. Those I will NEVER like. :tdown

It starts with Generation One footage! How awesome is that?!?!

Plus the appearance of Spike, Daniel, and Carly in the introduction to Detroit!

Also, the current head of Autobot Military is Ultra Magnus. The G1 clip-show showed Dion at the end of it, with the lines "Inspire those who are yet to come online". More Dion/Ultra Magnus proof! ^_^

 

The story itself was rather good, extremely enjoyable, and well written. It has been ages since I've been so geeked out watching a TF series.

I thought the show was awesome. Starscream was A+. Megatron looks great,Blitzwing seems interesting,all 3 of his personalities that is. My only gripe is that Bumblebee sounds too much like Spongebob :07redface

Naysayers be damned, this was awesome.

 

And Starscream's no longer inept...hell, he's downright ept. He accomplished more in this premiere than G1 SS pulled off in all of the 80s combined.

I noticed how it took all of the Autobots to fight Starscream, and even then they weren't able to defeat him. It makes you wonder "well, how the hell is Prime ever going to beat Megatron?" Thats why the final scene was so powerful. You really thought "oh sh*t" at the end of the movie / episode / thingy. Well done, CN -- the Decepticons are actually threatening for the first time ever.

 

I liked the story a lot more than the 2007 movie FWIW.

 

oh and lol, Autobot bureaucracy. I guess this Ultra Magnus *can* deal with that right now.
