This, is looking good!  I don't care what anyone says, even if they do have goofy designs, things are looking good storywise & characterwise!  So far, I'm happy!  I can't tell you how much better this 3 minute clip is, then Armada, Energon, Cybertron, & RID.  Those cartoons, maybe from time to time, had their moments, but, they really did nothing for me.  But this, really does look to be a like combination of G1 & Beast Wars, which, IMHO, is a wonderful combination.  And I'm digging the new younger Prime(by David Kaye, aka Beast Wars Megatron), & the new Megs(by Corey Burton aka G1 Shockwave...among others).  I'm happy.  This is really looking like it's not going to suck in the long run!  Hoorayyy!

That's stupid, why do they require Flash AND Windows Media?  That's kind of like requiring Quicktime AND MPEG to view something.  Since they are this retarded, I can only assume their retardedness transfers over in to the cartoon as well.

I don't really like Bumblebee's voice (or Prime's for that matter).   I hope they grow on me.  I love the combo of BW, and GI to  Bw is still one of the best TF series to date (and I grew up on G1).

Somebody recorded it onto youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glpS72FXT0k  Doesn't look as good on youtube, but, still gives you a good idea.

I grew up on G1 as well, I love both G1 & BW, I like different aspects of both.

[nectarsis]

G1 is about nostalgia, and great character design....BW was/is one (if not THE) best writing ina cartoonever (may even beat some regular shows...lol).

[Joe Redifer]

Ug.  The Transformers look far too human.  Why do they go to the effort of imitating G1 Starscream's voice, but nobody else?  Hell, it probably only sounded like Starscream and was instead Brawl (who now happens to be a Decepticon) or some shit like that knowing how Transformers usually plays out these days.  And what is this all spark nonsense?  I thought that was super lame in the Michael Bay movie, and now they continue that shitty story line here?

G1 Transformers are the best (though still geared a bit too much towards little f*cktards known as children).  The rest is crap, clearly.  Enough with the friggin' reboots.

[ParanoiaDragon]

As much as I would love for G1 to continue, rather then a reboot.....it just ain't gonna happen.  My only prayer is for a reboot, that will be good.

I want Starscream to sound like Starscream.  I don't mind the others being new sounding, I especially dig Megs.  Some other characters will sound the same as their original counterparts though.  Like Arcee, who's being voiced by the original actress, & Corey Burton is going to be redoing his role as Shockwave, can't wait to here that!

Oh, & Brawl was always a Decepticon, infact, he's a Combaticon in G1, he's the tank of the group.  You're probably thinking of Brawn, who's an Autobot.

Here's G1 Brawl http://www.tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Brawl/brawl.htm
G1 Brawn http://www.tfu.info/1984/Autobot/Brawn/brawn.htm

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah, Brawn.

What does Bumblebee say the first time he's knocked over?  Doesn't sound like English.  And since the English colonized Cybertron over 4 million years ago, I think that they should all be speaking that language.

Storywise it could be good, but I've had way too much of the "minimalist" art style in pop culture for awhile now.

[nectarsis]

I'll give it a shot...I can promise no more..lol

The only thing that bothers me BAD so far (not shown in this video)...is the human girl.........

[ParanoiaDragon]

That's true, I think her name is Sari.  Still not sure how she'll be handled.

[SignOfZeta]

But this, really does look to be a like combination of G1 & Beast Wars, which, IMHO, is a wonderful combination.

What? G1 is totally f*cking rad, and Beat Wars is soulless plastic puppet pretense. The difference is like chocolate and shit.

[nectarsis]

G1 is GREAT, but BW had a story arc that pretty much ran the whole series.  Writing was mature, and well written.

[Joe Redifer]

Here's G1 Brawl http://www.tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Brawl/brawl.htm
G1 Brawn http://www.tfu.info/1984/Autobot/Brawn/brawn.htm

I was looking at this site and there are quite a few Transformers that aren't even transformed properly in the photos!

[nectarsis]

I was reading on another baord that visited the Hasbro headquarters for work, and a few of the robots in the display case in their lobby were mis transformed...lmao
