Images of Transformers: Prime characters

More complaints about early promotional pictures.

Did nobody learn the lesson of Animated to wait and watch the show before complaining?

Can't speak for everyone here but I certainly gave Animated a chance. It blew it.

+1

I gave Animated a chance too before it came out.

Anyway, the show might be great - that's not what (some) people are saying they dislike. We can only judge what we're seeing, and so far (personally) I'm not feeling it. I may like the show, but I think I'll will always dislike these character designs no matter what (they're too close to movie designs, which I don't like at all).

Are they really the writers? I was hoping their input as exec producers was going to be limited to the premise and design aesthetic. I don't think they quite 'dig' transformers enough to be good writers for a show.

From what I have heard, they will be co-writers as well as executive producers on the series.... so in other words, they will be writing the series

Yay a new tv show! In a year we'll have toys and after three neat seasons it will cancelled without a word leaving us wanting more. (Oh, a expect them keep showing a prototype of Arcee and end up having it delayed until it turns up as a U.S. exclusive product.)

(Yes I'm still sore about Arcee.)


(And Animated.)

those pictures look like something out of a kids storyboard lol

Funnily enough, I haven't watched anything since Beast Wars. Though I did watch the first episode of Galaxy Wars, and didn't watch more. But I am willing to give this a go. I kinda like the design of them.

Blew our minds, that is!

The only things that really make or break a series are script, characterisation and voice acting, none of which can be discerned from these images. I'll wait and see.

All that long grass sure is creepy, though.

Both the Animated and Movie franchises were quite successful for Hasbro, so I don't blame them for wanting to combine their aesthetics. IMO it looks a lot better than Don Fig's attempt at blending movie-aesthetics with G1. I'm also glad that Cliffjumper is a whole new design and not a simple repaint/retool. The CGI to me looks too cartoonish and isn't as 'groundbreaking' as Beast Wars was (for its time - remember that BW did win an Emmy Award for best visual effects in an animated television series in 1998).

I don't know, Animated = thumbs up (when i came around) Bayverse-Not so good. To early to tell but doesn't look to bad. I wrote animated off at the start and it's ended up being my favourite line. On the other hand i was psyched for the movie and was brutally disappointed.

So i'll just wait and see

We obviously can't judge the show itself yet so let's settle for first impressions. I'm not sure if I was in the minority but I adored Animated as soon as I saw the first artworks for it. This, on the other hand, looks like Animated infected with a bad case of the B(ay)-Virus. Why couldn't they a) expand on WFC (which is still fresh in most peoples minds) or b) create something new and exciting without creating a confused looking mess?
