nathan9826 I've seen all 3 seasons of transformers prime and the beast hunters movie at least 5 times. I haven't gotten bored yet of watching them. Every time is always enjoyable. The show is suitable for both young and adult fans. The kids will certainly be entertained. I mean, it's a cartoon of transforming robots fighting each other! For the adults, there's some innuendo that you might understand, like when Bulkhead says "big bearings." Transformers prime is enjoyable overall. There's a good amount of comedy, drama, and action in the show. The cartoon contains similar content from G1 and the live-action movies. The transformers designs are amazing and detailed. On the other hand, the humans look okay. In fact, that's a major advantage over the Michael Bay movies; here, the transformers are the main characters and not the humans.
LadyMiraculous For those who don't know, I'm a genuine Transformers fan, but I didn't start out that way. A good friend of mine got me into the franchise when I was 12. Then at age 15, I saw the first live-action "Transformers" movie in theaters. It wasn't perfect, but it was a commendable effort on Michael Bay's part, but then he ruined it with "Revenge of the Fallen"! Although, the more I got into the shows, the less I cared about the movies. So, I decided to watch the original G1 cartoon on YouTube, I found the 1986 movie and really enjoyed it. Lots of action, cheesy 80's humor, a KILLER soundtrack, and it even made me cry! A couple years later, I've almost forgotten about Transformers, until one day I found the G1 series on The Hub. It didn't really give me that same "intrigued" feel I had with "Animated", but it was WAY less frustrating to sit through than the Michael Bay sequels.Finally, I saw a commercial for "Transformers Prime". I was a bit skeptical, then I thought, "Why not? It might be even better than Animated". I was wrong. First time I started watching it, all I got were flat characters, a sloppy story, and a boring soundtrack.Optimus is now a deadpan, stick in the mud with no emotion whatsoever; Ratchet, who really loves shouting out most of his dialog; Bumblebee who (like Bay's version) is a mute puppy dog; Arcee, who's basically Prowl with boobs; and finally Bulkhead. Remember that clumsy, lovable gentle giant who started out as an Energon farmer, but learned how to become a Space-Bridge technician? Well, that character is tossed aside in favor of an obnoxious slob whose dialog consists of "YEAH!!!" and "COWABUNGA!". If that wasn't bad enough, Sari, the spunky, resourceful daughter of Professor Sumdac, is now replaced by these 3 little turds: Jack Darby, the moody teenager with a hidden agenda; Rafael Esqiuvez, the stereotypical computer geek; and finally, Miko Nadakai, who is the most annoying human kid since Daniel from G1. The Decepticons aren't any better either. They're completely underpowered and lose almost every battle. Megatron is the same old clichéd comic book villain as he was in G1, and Starscream is even more pathetic than he was in G1 and "Animated". This series, as a whole, is dull and soulless. Every time a character dies, I don't feel sorry for them, and every time they try to inject humor into certain episodes, it comes off as forced and contrived. The fight scenes aren't really that exciting either, because they look like they were taken straight out of the Michael Bay trilogy.The only merits I can point out are: Soundwave's design, the animation, Knockout (the only character that's close to being funny), and of course, Peter Cullen. My Overall Rating-- 5/10
racraman I know what i'm talking about when I say, THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!! I used to watch this show every night at 6:00pm after school, but sadly, the series ended, oh well, guess i'll just have to wait till series 3 comes out. It's actually something to look forward to after a tiring day at work, school etc.I love how they've made the transformations all complex like the live action movie trilogy. It makes a great evening show for those between 10 and dead. It has cutting edge technology designs and an good choice of characters.This show follows a good and basic story. I recommend watching.
Shameek Quite admittedly I had never been a Transformers fan until recently. I often tried the original series when I was a kid but I always found it too childish, even as a kid. I preferred G I JOE. The concept of transformers always interested me but I never actually found a cartoon that did justice to the franchise. The movies rekindled my interest but they were far from great. Too much emphasis was given to the human characters to go with other problems. In Transformers: Prime I have finally found something that I had always wished Transformers to be.The basic mood of this series perfectly suits Transformers. It's serious but has enough humor. It has a dark feel to it which seems to be a missing ingredient of all previous Transformers series.The picture quality is amazing. The robots look fantastic and the humans look fairly good too. The background quality does vary a bit from episode to episode but even the minimum level is very good. The camera work is excellent.The writing is generally very good as well although there are times when it feels a little stretched out. The dialog is impressive.The musical score is excellent and that really helps the mood and tension of any scene. Transformers is meant to be epic. That is exactly what the music reflects. At times the power of the music is such that if you get involved enough it will take you places.But the true strength of this series is the characters. Every single character has incredible depth and development, and you can really feel that every character is unique. The bad guys are always more interesting but here you'll also come to love the good guys because you'll feel that you really know them and get to ride along in their emotional journey. The writers did not throw cheap characters by the hundreds but instead carefully chose a few and decided to make them complete. I would go as far as to say that the quality of the show is wasted on young viewers who would probably struggle to realize just how good it is, but enjoy it all the same. This is art, not just entertainment for kids.If you will ever love Transformers then this is it. Even if you never liked it before give it a try. You might just fall in love with it.
