Transformers Animated on Free-to-Air Australian TV from Mon 11 August

Craps me to tears that they show all those stupid card game cartoons instead of super hero goodness like they should! I mean aren't Yu-Gi-Oh! and Bakugan the same f****** thing anyway???

Yu-Gi-Oh: uses cards kinda like our olden day super trump game , Bakugan: uses marble like thingies that pop up to reveal a creature head and sorta body for battle - BOTH this has serious crappy overacting and kill-me-now dramas and drivelous lines , talk talk talk about honor in battle and so on and so forth etc etc.
Why these things ever see the light of a cartoon day beats me. Id like to beat the crap out of them! Its just freaking cards and a marble pop up! The heck with battle shouts and power ranger movements, find it utterly useless toons! Watched only a few seconds trailer of each never did so ever again. If it was the toons thats on i just change the channel or turn it off.

Card Games are good, dont get me wrong. I enjoy Magic the Gathering Card games. If that were to be made into toons it would prolly be interesting, but these 2 are in the same boat with those toons with the RC looking racer toys / and those modernized tops/a SD gundam looking thing with a popup ball in its belly - which all fight in a small plastic arenas - toywise - but in the tv they make like a whole stadium is the battleground. Same formula, same drivel lines like " Oh dont give up firelander! Show em what you've got! retaliate now! and so on and so forth". OH pleeeeaze its a toy you throw at your opponent with no brain at all, the heck with all that drivel like its alive or something! Even owner of Chickens in cockfights dont go shouting melodramatic speeches like that - and these are live creatures, totally want smash a 2x4 on these characters...

Oh and back to the topic, nice to see that TF animated finally gets aired on free TV. I find AM shows here so boring and uninteresting except on Saturdays.

Bah!!! Edited! I hate it when Ten does that!!!! They did it with Cybertron too!

[iceburn]

was it edited? very badly or to suit commercials?
i missed the whole thing as my fiance has decided to leave for work early starting today. how sad is that!!

[Tiby]

Stuff cut out, including the importance of the Allspark when they found it (I think) and when Megatron confronts Starscream and bends his wing. There are already spots for commercials! What they did is cut more out at those points.

Disgusting!

I have e-mailed Toasted TV to correct this problem (as I did with Cybertron 2 years ago!)

We'll see how it goes.

Thats disappointing, but not surprising.

I don't know why morning kids shows need to have hosts, Cheez Tv was always better when it was summer and the hosts were off on holidays, and the ABC has had host-less sections for years.

i should do that aswell, they cutt off allot of things!, all because they need o show kids toys commercials and 2 people talkking to other people darn hosts, but yeah if we could get enough emails, maybe we will get them to change it

Nothing new there. They've been doing it for the last ~19 years that they've been running the simpsons, every episode is cut. They have never ever shown a full episode. Ever. It's so refreshing to watch old episodes on Fox8 these days and seeing all of the parts you never knew even existed.

But heck, even channel 10 was cutting even further. For example, they'd cut the scene of scratchtasia in the simpsons, then the next time they showed the same ep, that scene was cut even more.

I don't even put the tv onto ch. 10 anymore, nor have I for the last 6 years or so. Ch 10 can go DIAF. I'd rather pay the $50 or so a month for uncut TV. And hosted shows can be good, Maude & Kyle on Nicklodeon are great. Plus there's a few good channels on TVU.
