You misunderstand. No one is saying that 1990s animation like Beast Wars or Beast Machines is crappy. It was excellent and ground breaking for it's day but given progression in the industry since, it has become dated.

CGI animation has gone a long way since and by contemporary standards of 'for TV' CGI animation, TF: Prime should look a lot better than a cartoon that was made in the 1990s.

To me when you look at the TF:Prime character models, environments and backgrounds, it's very 'compromised' like a 1990s CGI cartoons used to be. The difference is that back then they had limitation with the technology available for creating such rendering so one even in hindsight can forgive such limitations. However those same 'compromises' should not apply in a modern cartoon using current computers and processing power to create.

To me it looks as if someone made it in the 1990s. In-gameplay animation of several games from 3 years ago look far better
