I'm torn on the new series. In a way I love that there's new transformers series to watch. However, the animation is so terrible I find it hard to watch at some points. The stories are ok, but a little campy.
All in all I guess I'm just to old but when I watch the show from the 80's, you can tell it's not made for boys age 5-11. I think the reason the first shows were so good is the fact that there was little thought put into it, just get the show out to sell toys.
Now not that this show really has any other agenda than to sell toys, but thanks to marketing scum etc etc, we have a show that's been manufactured to apply to boys age 5-11. The reason the first show was so good was all the continuity errors and plot holes. It was just 30 min of non stop action every day at 4:30. Something to just lose yourself in after school.
So whatever, the show is what it is and I'll watch it. Just wish there wasn't so much thought put into cartoons these days. The cartoons of old were far superior.
Guess I am getting old.....
