i think getting cut in half and left in the massive energon explosion is the end for cliffjumper and would be very suprised if he make another appearence.

It was just a flesh wound

As someone who has worked in animation skill plays an enormous part in animation. Skill and planning. It's not like an animation studio scans in a storyboard and a computer does the rest. There's still an animator at that workstation acting their guts out.

No, I'm not confusing mocap with animation. Animators are actors too.

You are too right. I studied Animation and sometimes still do it on the side (I work in a TV station for goodness sake) and I know, its the work of the animators that anything gets done.
Sure, have the latest 3D program, a great server for rendering and a great workstation helps but its always the animator that has to get it done.

It was just a flesh wound

That's basically the excuse they used in Beast Wars when they 'permanently' killed off a character at the end of a season only to have fans or Hasbro demand that they make him come back the next.

This resulted in 'It was only a flesh wound' brush offs after the character was blown up, disintegrated or quartered suggesting a permanent dismissal the season before.

Naturally the above doesn't apply to Waspinator.

Liked today's episode. Atmosphere in the Decepticon ship and that canyon was great.

Yep, would have to agree with you there dude.
My concerns though?
1. Soundwave = Mute.
2. Waves and Waves of undead drones that all look the same.
3. Not being able to wait until February to see the 6th and subsequent episodes!

Oh and for those who were frightened by Cliffjumper's death scene, you're not going to like how a Decepticon drone dies in this one.

Just watched episode 3. Humans are starting to annoy me and Bulkhead has some animated traits but overall I am still enjoying it alot more then I thought I would.

Ratchet is gold. (but not in an actual metal or colour sense).
Turns out he is purely a technician in this series too, not a soldier, a nice trait to steal from Animated.

The drones are anything but cannon fodder, Starscream is nice and Saturday morning cartoon evil, while Megatron looks to be a much more solid and wholesome evil.

Soundwave is mute.

Prime is looking up, nice and dark to begin the series, wonder where they can move to from here for the rest of the season?

Miko's annoying but amusing at the same time. I liked "HOLD HIM STILL".

Hmmm... this show isn't really for kiddies is it?!
