Insecticons? Reduced to more cannon fodder. Lame.
MECH? Killed off in one episode after tons of build up. Double lame because it also wasted Breakdown's death.
The Nemesis comes to life? Barely explained and resolved within the same episode. Lame.
Bulkhead is injured and may never be the same again? OH LOOK, he's perfectly back to normal within 3 episodes! Lame.
Dreadwing's character? He barely did shit for the entire season and he got killed off too quickly. Lame.
Plus throw in the two clip shows, and most of the Autobots being as exciting as a sack of potatoes, the relics they wasted the season retrieving getting lost/destroyed, and you've got yourself a pretty bad season.

Yes ! Exactly what I was thinking. Too many speedy resolutions in Season Two ! WTH ?!
Remember how they said that Miko was to become a darker, more mature character ? That didn't even happen !

......................sir please. Just no.
For my own input, I think Season One was an ok beginning, until we hit Unicron. Then everything went downhill, while television sci-fi antics went up.
There are barely any consequences worth noting for the Autobots, see Bulkhead and Tox-En, Optimus regains his memory after three immediate episodes, Arachnid's defeat doesn't prove too much of a problem since Arcee essentially gave Megatron a huge boost in soldiers, Miko doesn't get targeted for killing Hardshell and Raf got moved by Fowler (inconsistencies), etc.
The dialogue is ok, but really can be much better. Everyone most of the time sound like the cast from Star Wars the prequel trilogy. Everyone's pretty dull in character.
Heck, I ended up liking Adventure Time over this !
so yea, I agree that TF Prime is pretty much wasted potential. Sincerely hope they improve in Season Three
