Re: so i finally saw animated...
Now, I wasn't around the fandom when RiD, Armada, Energon & Cybertron aired (got back into TFs with Superlink airing then Galaxy Force, didn't care much for their US counterparts), but was there generally a similar reaction when each of those series aired?
Inherently, it comes down to the fandom being grouped into 2 sides:
- the ones who'll take all the new series (all being a new take on the Transformers idea)
- the ones who will go "It's not G1! Just gimme more G1!"
And I'm just throwing thoughts out: now, while TFA is a new take on the Transformers concept, people have to realize that some characters can be considered "alternate universe" versions of the G1 character, while others are not. TFA Prime and Bumblebee can be considered "new takes" to G1 Prime and Bumblebee, but TFA Prowl pretty much has NOTHING to do with G1 Prowl (it's just a name, after all; and we all know what Hasbro does to names).
And off on another tangent: I do think that Kaye's voice works for this incarnation of Prime. Cullen does a good "I'm old and have been through a lot of crap" Prime, Chalk does a good "I'm a younger, efficient, and charismatic leader" Prime, while Kaye's voice works well as a "I'm not sure I can be a leader" Prime...
