I wonder if it will have cute versions of Megatron and Starscream or will the Autobots be fighting fires, fixing traffic jams and fixing buildings

This looks to be like one of those really childish tv shows that everyone watches but doesn't want to admit it, haha.

I didn't see any sign of Decepticons, so is likely to be Autobots dealing with Human related problems. I think the Playskool Go-Bots were the same, but with some 'naughty' Autobots causing occasional mischief.

Great idea, seeing as how popular the marvel super squad program is with the young (and not so young) audience.

Could easily see myself picking up some of those figures for family members, and for myself.

Fo a series meant to be based around bots not fighting alongside Prime and co in the big battles, these sure look like prime, ratchet, bee and Prowl to me...

Cool... Transformers Animated meets Wonder Pets It's a good excuse to get my son into collecting Transformers.

Both US and AU Toyfair had those toys on display, under the Playskool banner... so we shouldn't expect this to be a cartoon for us grown-ups.
(then again, it might be more colourful and 'fun' than the dark, morbid Prime cartoon)

Along the lines of Marvel's Super Hero Squad Show??? or even younger?

I reckon it'll be like the Transformers Go-Bots cartoon. Some of the characters there appear to be based on pre-existing Play Skool Transformers.
i.e.:
Fire Engine = Rescue Roy
Police Car = Policeman Pete
Helicopter = Charlie Chopper
The other characters look like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Bulkhead.

IMO every other TF cartoon releaseded sucks! Beast Wars and Beast Machines was ok.

Beast Wars wasn't okay - it was freakin' awesome! Beast Machines was disappointing though.

As griffin said, it'll probably be like the Transformers Gobots cartoon where there are simply "naughty" Transformers who misbehave, not because of any malice intent, but because they're careless... and the other Transformers come along to help them learn how to behave properly.

But yeah, adults and even primary school aged kids aren't the target market here... this line would be for pre-school/kindy/infants school aged kids. My 21 month year old daughter loves playing with my PlaySkool Transformers. She won't touch any of the other Transformers in my TF room, but she's really loves playing with the Play Skool TFs. As I'm typing this she's playing with Charlie Chopper.
