A mix of rovot and humans is good. I'm kind of hoping they'll do a DR. ARkeville type character in the future.

 

robot*......I don't know what a "rovot" is

 

Angry Archer count? He has that robotic left hand of his...

The concept of human villains isn't inherently bad, but they're poorly done in Animated. :/

 

Mind you, human villains are typically done badly - there have been a few good human villains in TF history (e.g.: Circuit Breaker) but they're exception. Generally speaking, human villains suck arse. d:

 

Another interesting concept is humans not as villains - but still acting as complications against the protagonists. e.g.: R.A.A.T., Sector Seven etc. - humans who often work against the Autobots, but they're not actually villains and so the Autobots are limited in their capacity to fight against them.

In my opinion, the hole idea of human villians battling the Autobots is possibly the worst idea ever thought of in the entire Transformers Universe. I am mean how do humans fight robots who are like 8 times there size? Why don't the Autobots just grab a gun of sword and shred the evil humans? The only one who I kinda like is the Angry Archer.

 

PS: Professor Princess is the worst of them all.

These human villains work for me but only because they're as colorful as the Decepticons.

 

In a world where one Decepticon can take on a team of Autobots, you need some cannon fodder badguys and the humans serve that role nicely.

 

It's a pity that Marvel Comics owns the Neo-Knights and Circuit Breaker because they'd be nifty human heroes to use for an episode or two.

 

Maybe we could get a team of Headmaster/Actionmaster/Targetmaster types though.

 

Heck, with the Headmaster running around as one of the human badguys, it would be a pretty logical extension of Animated to have Targetmasters -- at least for the toy line.

 

I mean, if we're getting Samurai armor Prowl, why not do a wave of redecos with the human characters as accessories with an action feature?

 

Ie. Bumblebee with Sari, Prowl with his holo driver, Ratchet and Sumdac, Bulkhead and Fanzone. With the humans turning into guns! Or at least simply as drivers.

They could make a character similar to Circuit Breaker but with sufficient differences that she wouldn't infringe on Marvel. ;)

 

Like maybe "Circuit Buster" - and you'd keep her original given or surname, like maybe Josie (surname) or (given name) Beller. Then fans would know that this character is supposed to be Circuit Breaker. Then just make her a scantily-clad hot redhead - a la Witchblade... ooh yeah. :D

It was darn tempting to vote for Professor Princess. ;D But in the end I cast a real vote. I really think the human villains are fine, as long as most of the time it's 'Bot vs 'Con. Having the human villains mixed in does add variety, as well as establish the Autobots as protectors of the people in general and not just from other robots. I'm crossing my fingers for Dr. Archivell to at least make a cameo. Maybe as Headmaster's dad? ;)

Come to grips with it Goki; your dream of Circuit Breaker will likely never come to pass. Actually, who knows- what with all the homage craziness going on.

 

I don't mind the human villains....I enjoy them when they're actually a threat. And Porter C. Powell is cooler than all of you.

I'd be so down with Circuit Breaker making it into animated. Perfect villainous in the spirit of a true DC/Marvel villain.

 

Personally I really really don't care for a lot of the would be super villains. Being a long time fan of Teen Titans none of them have been nearly as cool as even Dr Light and he's an idiot. The supporting cast is possibly one of the best I've seen assembled for an animated series. From the get go I've had nothing but love for Sumdac, Sari, and Fanzone. . Even Porter C. Powell is great as the thieving corporate business man who constantly screws everyone over. Masters (Headmaster) is also a lot of fun because of his connection to Powell and his parody of the headmasters gimmick. Forget cybertron heroes I think these character are cool enough to own as actual action figures like any other Super hero/toy line.

 

Voted they're good but only if they in someway or other contribute to the outcome of the overall episode. PP didn't do a hell of a lot of anything other than give a pretty decent episode a hella quirky start as well as poke fun at another toy franchise. Can't remember if MLP is owned by Hasbro or Mattel.

They may seem annoying or ghey, but they serve a purpose; they act as cannon fodder, which means the :cons get to kick ass when they show up.

So why not? And Powell PWNS all.

Circuit Breaker is the property of marvel comics so the chances of her being in animated are quite low.
