Is anyone else a TF:Prime convert?

So even back six weeks ago, I was a fence sitter on this series and was flat cynical about the toy line. I'm not exactly sure how or what happened but the toy line grew on me (I'm loving all the new designs) and with the cartoon screening on cartoon network I find myself really enjoying this new chapter of the transformers universe. A few things have yet to make sense to me (like why do all of the robots blink?) and I was shocked about cliffjumper, but all this serves to compel me to park in front of the tv every Sunday night! It's like a weekly slice of 80s experience all over, especially hearing Peter Cullen's hypnotically courageous voice behind the best red and blue truck ever :)

I know a lot of people here were fans from the start, but is anyone like me, a convert?

Hey Mickymac, glad to hear you're enjoying the show. :)

It took me quite a while to warm to the series too, but now I love it! Before Airachnid entered the fray I was about ready to write off the series as a yawn-inducing snooze fest. Thankfully things started picking up, the characters, action and story became interesting to me and then so to did the toys! :D Like you I now eagerly await every new episode, me mate Terry Torrent can't hook me up fast enough!

Wow didn't realise it was on Fox now. Last time I checked it hadn't started.

I'm starting to get into the show, after a previous false start. I've already watched up to and including ep6, having difficulty viewing 7 onwards, and looks like CN is showing eps 12 & 13 tonight.

Do I miss much in 7 - 11 if I don't see them?

Keeping an eye out for a decent priced Prime toy that interests me, but would like to get at least one to see what they are like.

I didn't mind the show at first, but it didn't "rope" me in, and soon my interest in it dwindled because quite frankly... there was no toy line. Transformers is, to me, first and foremost a toy franchise and I found it difficult to get into a toyless show and I stopped watching after about midway through Season 1. After I ordered my first batch of First Edition toys in November (received in December) that resparked my interest in the show and made me bother to catch up and watch the rest of Season 1. Since then I've been collecting the toys, which in turn has sustained my interest in the show. Having said that... the toyline has been rather ordinary. (-_-)

I'm still really not a fan of a Transformers show being developed before the toys -- I much prefer the traditional way where the toys are developed first, then the show is based on the toys. :/ Season 2 is more enjoyable then Season 1... but IMHO Beast Wars remains the best Transformers TV series.

Gonna be bold and go out guns blazing and say nope, I found the show to be boring in both the visuals and the writing. I've only really seen maybe the first 10 episodes of Prime and just couldn't get hooked onto it. That's just me though.

i liked it from the opening scene of the cartoon and have liked all i have seen and purchased of the toys, it fills the void left by the ending of animated

I was never going to but any of the Prime stuff as I am a G1/classicverse man through & through. Then I watched the Darkness Rising episodes & am becoming a big fan of TF Prime. The toys are great & I don't care about them being smaller or anything like that.

I do not play with my toys but I enjoy the transformation process & maybe posing them sometimes. The engineering impresses me & out of all the figures I have including the First Editions I find Wheeljack floats my boat in every way.

Also on that note, I do enjoy the majority of the TF:Prime toys despite not being a fan of watching the show.

Keep going mate! You're so close to when Transformers Prime begins to shine, and then it only gets better from there. :)

I've been a fan since I first heard about it and watched its preview on the Hub thanks to a viewing by webcam from a friend over in the US. It's definitely filled in the void since TFC ended, my faith in Transformers had been shattered shortly after ROTF came to theatres and I thought I would never watch Transformers again, especially Animated because I didn't like it for its cartoony style, but was restored when TFP and DOTM came to being.

So, all and all, I'm VERY faithful towards Transformers: Prime. In fact, you could call me a Prymer if you'd like, I don't mind honestly. I love it very much, and I'm hoping there will never be another series like it again.
