Maybe the intro shows what the Japanese wanted Animated to be :)
It is very doubtful but one could always hope for a Japanese Exclusive 4th season depicting the scenes seen in the intro.

Too bad it looks like its gonna be a dub. Heard rumours that it was going to pick up where s3 left off, but thats highly doubtful considering what i've read.
Gets you hyped and for some reason there's some hope in me there will be season 4+. I know I'm dreaming. Now that's how to do an exciting and promotional intro. No Wreck Gar in it tho.
I personally don't like how every US Transformers opening theme is some variation of the G1 "More Than Meets The Eye" song. (-_-) Lack of originality much? :/Quote:

I guess it depends on how successful Animated is and whether or not it will justify the Japanese to commission sequels.Quote:

e.g.: Omega Supreme, the Constructicons, Wasp (with retooled head), Perceptor... and I'd personally like to see toys for some of the human characters. A Sari action figure would rock (even if it's just a retooled/repainted Microman figure; hey, they did it for Kicker and Gamede!). Even if they just released some non-poseable PVC figurines of Sari, Isaac, Fanzone etc., I'd totally get them. :) Hell, I'd even consider getting Professor Princess (if it were cheap enough :p)
Yeah, it's not completely implausible that they could continue Animated beyond season 3. They did it for Beast Wars as well. And obviously they've found a studio that can capture Animated's style.
I'm curious to see if they chop out any of the human villains, or change the tone of the show like Beast Wars did. :o
I wouldn't mind that at all. For me, the low point of TFA was the human villain storylines. I guess that's why I liked season 3 so much - there weren't any.Quote:

Might not match up to anything in the series, but that was a nice anime intro.
I love this song... I absolutely love Kageyama Hironobu and Mizuki Ichiro's work (and I also enjoyed Kitadani Hiroshi's opening for Super Link, but I'm not familiar with his work outside of Transformers).
For those who may not know, Kageyama Hironobu also performed the opening and ending themes for The Headmasters:

And Dragonball Z fans would know that he also did a lot of themes for DBZ such as:
Cha La Head Cha La
We Gotta Power
Most of you would know that Mizuki Ichiro did the themes for Transformers Zone:

Gatchaman fans would know that he also did the theme for Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (aka Battle of the Planets/Eagle Riders/G-Force):

As well as the 1995 OVA remix:

I wanna get the Japanese Animated album! :D
It was crazy, typical of giant robot anime intros. Very impressed. They had female Starscream in it too, so I'm praying she finally gets a toy made by Takara down the track. That's all I want, the other unmade characters I could care less!
