Transformers Prime cartoon reviews/comments (spoilers)

[FFN]

I prefer this voice. As Welker said, he brought his Megatron voice down to more of an "acting level". So instead of Megatron being a shouty cartoon dude most of the time, he's much more subtle, until he really explodes, like when he abuses Starscream.

War for Cybertron's Cybertron makes another appearance.

I also like Welker's current Megatron voice. Starscream's voice... meh. Don't love nor hate it.

Okay... the human kids are getting on my nerves now - _especially_ Miko. As frustrating as Raf and Jack's interference with the groundbridge was, at least they had good intentions. Miko's just... spastic. Oh look, a giant robot's off to rescue Fowler from enemy giant robots. Yeah... tag along.

No wonder her family back in Japan shipped her off to the other side of the world.

With all this love for Welker, I still can't understand why Bay chose to go with Hugo Weaving for the movies.

I remember watching the special features on the DVD and they explained why they went with Weaving by showing a clip of movie Megs with Welker's G1 Megatron voice. Sure it didn't suit, but the guys a professional voice actor and could've changed his method as is clearly evident in Prime.

Boy some G1 Prime purists are going to choke on this episode! Awesome stuff

How so?

I just finished watching the latest episode and to reiterate, this is not a show for kids. I am enjoying it though and I look forward to the finale tomorrow night.

It's getting better. I must say the fight choreography is a huge step up over anything we've seen before in both cartoons and possibly films (haven't seen ROTF).

They've toned down on the orchestral score and the suffocating emo-ness which is good. However Starscream is degenerating into a grovelling backstabber & Megatron punching bag caricature instead of a legitimate threat, which is the vibe I got from the first two episodes.

I was just recalling all the comments made about Prime being too violent in ROTF as he blows away Scavenger at the beginning. Which now seems pretty weaksauce compared to slaughtering a whole field of robots!

"Mess with the Bul... oh, wait..."
Personally, I like a Prime, or Primal, that leads by example.

Oh my... the drones are not incredibly intelligent but very resilient. And Prime... pure awesomeness. And I love the build up to Meg's endgame.

Very nice ending to Episode 4. I like this series - it's definitely the best current ongoing Transformers continuity - leagues above IDW and the Bay films. I look forward to watching it progress.

I just watched episodes 3 & 4 and although they were overall good, it felt much more disjointed than the first two.

The most annoying bit were sadly the humans which in this episode seem more in line with the infamous annoying humans of the past, the girl in particular. Another thing which annoyed me was how that kid managed to hack into the FBI database - That was absolutely ridiculous and I wouldn't be surprised if even children feel that their intelligence has been insulted after that scene.

Before that girl was just a nuisance now she is very annoying and disrupting. If I were the Autobots I would simply lock up all the kids in a box like the Furman IDW Autobots did in Infiltration.

It was a very disjointed couple of episodes which is more indicative of Orci and Kurtzman's writing style. One moment it's very cartoony with 'yipee!', 'Awesome!' 'Kid hacks FBI computer' but by the next scene with the same humans, there is this attempt at realism with pain, angst and depression throwing me off as a viewer.

I hope the series improves as I can see myself loosing interest if it continues to be this disjointed with the humans becoming 'super kids'. So far the main plot is good but not that interesting to balance out the now more prevalent annoying bits.

As Sky Shadow mentioned, it is certainly by far the best current TF fiction out there as the IDW comics are horrific but I still feel that it could be better if they tone down the kids, particularly Miko and stop giving them random 'super powers' like Raf's hacking skills.

The nature of that complain was not that Prime was too violent but how he killed Scavenger in cold blood and seemed to enjoy it which was completely against his character.
