I am not a big fan either but I always try and experience all official TF cartoons/general fiction. It gives you something to talk about during fan meets and the like.

There is also the odd chance that something that starts out crummy may have some worthwhile moments. For example, I hated Armada overall but very much enjoyed the last Unicron battles part.

Animated seems to be the most childish TF cartoon since Japanese Beast Wars but it does have a couple of good things going for it and its not too late for a turn around. All they have to do is keep the stupidity/childishness down and produce more episodes which concetrate on interesting character development (eg Prowl) and less 'gag characters' such as Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Having less of Sari and the TFs in childish circumstances/behaviour would also help.

Some people like to defend these concepts with 'its a kid's show' argument but remember that some Sunbow executives had the same view to G1 Season 3 and the result was Wheelie and Daniel as well as a severely dumbed down Grimlock. I don't recall many kids liking these characters and new changes.

With a bit of Energon and a LOT of luck, Animated may hopefully rise to being worthwhile series in my book.
