I suffered through the unicron trilogy. I kept hoping that that things would get better. For me, the unicron trilogy is everything that is wrong with anime. I'm old enough to remember when Robotech was on TV. That was good anime.
TF animated had the horrific (to me) Teen-titan thing going on. I couldn't get past the look of it. But the show was MUCH better than the previous - for a show aimed at selling kids toys.
For me, Prime is better than the previous cartoons.
I'll disagree that because the episodes in Prime don't all move the overall story forward that they are "slice of life" or "throwaway" episodes.
The show has serious flaws. It is, after all, a cartoon made to sell toys to kids.
The episodes are supposed to be cool enough to get kids/parents to buy the toys, and for me, they have done that better than any TF show in the last 15 years.
