Canadian Transformers News and Discussion Forum

[Sun Swipe Prime]

Just finished it. I went in ready to go all squinty-eyed at everything. But I was pleasantly surprised. It's a quality show with quality writing. You can tell they did their homework on lore and built something up using that.

Is it perfect, no. But it did a heck of a lot right. Easily one of the top TF shows since Beastwars. I can't wait for the next instalment. The story was definitely lean, but I wouldn't have minded a few more episodes.

I really liked how it wasn't just straight Autobot good and Decepticon bad. Nobody's hands are clean and nobody is perfect. That makes for some more interesting characters and drama.

Yeah, they reused a bunch of the CGI models to fill out background characters, but it didn't bother me. For customizers, it'll probably be a goldmine for custom painted bots.

And honestly, I'd rather have this show with a bunch of reused CGI than what we've been getting with a rainbow of unique CGI bots put there just to sell toys. It's easy to ignore penny pinching when the story is good.
