Transformers Prime cartoon reviews/comments (spoilers)

[Bartrim]

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".

+1

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

I am enjoying this series. It isn't really in tune with Hasbro's reboot though is it? While it does take elements from WfC... its not really in-sync with it.

Watched the 3rd ep... and have to say, I liked it. Sure people talk about the annoying humans and for some part, they are but it also gives a chance to show the differences between humans and their visitors, the Autobots.

I agree that this show doesn't seem to be aimed towards kids too much but really, in Japan, the kids watch death happen to characters in their anime too and its usually in the same time slot. Kudos to the writers to not being afraid to push the envelope for American cartoons.

I eagerly await ep 4.

It is quite in sync with the Exodus book though.

Just watched ep 3. Noice! Megatron in his little bits so far has been pretty creepy and leading on tot he crazy part I think when he started hearing the voices of Unicron. I dig the way the drones are just as tough as your usual Decepticon. How long was Bulkhead wailing on that one? No single hero charging in to save the day.

Starscream , I am beginning to like more and more. Torturing humans for a start is something that hasn't happend for a while!

Aside from the death, it has some interesting themes going on. I think it was ep 2 when Ratchet expressed his concern about protecting the humans to the detriment of the (possibly last as far as they know) 5 Autobots. Some possible dis-satisfction withing ranks.

Now I am beginning to find the music a bit much, especially in the helicopter bit with Fowler when he was gettin attacked. It is in theme with the movie, but seems excessive for the cartoon.

Just wish there were some better quality torrents about for it. I can handle larger than 180 meg. Give me good quality please.... I think that has been the most annoying thing so far....

Agreed. Apparently they are all SD rips and the only person putting them out is Cartoon Palace (C_P). They created the Animated torrents which were also poor quality. I don't think we'll see a good quality version until the DVD is released.

Haven't read the Exodus Book so not sure... thanx for the info.

Why are people saying that they are the last 5 Autobots? Prime has said that they are the last 5 on Earth. So there are probably more Autobots out in space.
