Animated not reflecting the style of the Movie?

[Kyle]

I would have preferred a TV cartoon series that ties in with the Movie. But I'm now perfectly happy with Animated.

Move these last 11 posts from the Universe comments thread because they had nothing to do with Universe toys at all.

The Movie did influence Animated that's why Animated has characters named Bumblebee and Ratchet and a macguffin called the AllSpark.

I prefer the difference in styles, since I dislike the Movie designs quite a bit.

Also, it gives us greater variety to choose from. Movie toys for people who like 'real' robots, Animated for cartoony styles, and Universe for nostalgia.

I would preferred a cartoon based on the Classics toys (as a G1 reboot, which is what Animated is) over Cartoon-Network stylisation - and without the goofy human villains. Invisible-Pink-Unicorns know I hate those human villains. (-_-)

YES. A Classics/Universe cartoon would be great-I've been kicking around ideas for a fiction regarding it for a while. The only problem is that the only 'cartoon' for Classics/Universe is that So Bad It's Horrible short.

Classics comics ftw! (too bad most of them are exclusives I wish IDW would/could do a regular release Classics comic series - although we do have some Classics-Universe characters appearing in All Hail Megatron)

I'm the oppisite, I like the Movie designs and dislike the Animated ones for the most part, G1 is toony enough for me. I agree with you though that diversity is a good thing though. I recall when Armada was out it was a choice of unispiring TF's ore more uninspiring TF's!

What Hasbro does with there toons doesn't really bother me as I haven't really got much from a TFcartoon since Beast Wars. Though I will agree with Roller to some exent Car Robots was amusing, in it's native tounge at least.

I personally dont mind the cartoony styling of Animated its different and i like cartoony looking stuff hell i have Daffy Duck tattood to my arm. btw i like cartoons.

I like cartoons to, though toy cartoons get a bit sameish after a while. Daffy Duck rocks! I wrote and essay about Daffy Duck, Buggs Buny and the Transformers at Uni once, I really love the old Tex Avery cartoons where Daffy Duck is straight jacket insane! Although Chuck Jones's ones are awesome to.
