  • This show was terrific but why did the transformers have teeth. Aren't they supposed to look artificial? Ah who gives a shit!

  • @ibrahimwalker If you believe what Optimus Prime says in his "Career Day" short, as well as looking at characters like Shockwave, they technically don't need eyes either. They're also not "artificial" exactly, just robotic, which doesn't preclude the need for teeth for some reason, including speech.

    It's also a cartoon liberty taken to help convey the intended facial expression. Consider a human kid with a cheesy, toothy smile. Now imagine the teeth are gone.

  • @AeonMagnus I mean all the shows before the 3 CGI movies.

  • @il2sturmovikfb So, then, everything from as little as 4 years ago, to as much as 27 years ago is an "old one"? That seems even more arbitrary.

    Transformers: Prime might only be a 12 months old, but what's wrong with that show?

  • @AeonMagnus yep.

  • @il2sturmovikfb I look forward to you lauding both Prime and Animated in four years time when they too become "old ones".

  • @AeonMagnus what do you mean by 'lauding'?

  • @il2sturmovikfb

    laud |lôd|

    verb [ trans. ] formal

    praise (a person or their achievements) highly, esp. in a public context

  • @AeonMagnus I mean this is a bit TOO animated for transformers.

  • @il2sturmovikfb So they're capable of _too_ much motion? That's an odd complaint. Particularly considering you mentioned Energon, whose characters were as about as dynamic as finger puppets.

  • @AeonMagnus look @ the energon opening. I think it is better.they're a bit too flexible in this.

  • @AeonMagnus it's just that robots aren't as rounded in energon and cybertron.

  • I prefer the old ones such as energon.

  • @il2sturmovikfb Interesting definition of "old ones"... Energon co-incided with Transformers' 20th anniversary.

  • Qual é o nome da musica ?

    E transformers é D+ michael bay porfavor fais logo o TF 4

  • I love this song.

  • I diddent like the series very much but it was ok.

  • @thegreatexplosion175

    Why didn't you like this series?

  • I was surprised because America had still been singing

    the same song for 30 years.

    "Transformers more than meets the eyes"

  • @momihog Well, at least the entire series has a theme song pretty much every American knows. Seriously, I could walk out into the streets of New York City, shout/sing "Transformers!" and probably get quite a few responses of "Robots in disguise!"

    Actually, I should try that sometime. >:)

  • @Sorida777

    Not every american know Transformers. Some people don't have TVs or even they have TV, they have better things to do.

  • @RagaRBM Yeah, I know. A good amount of people can recognize it though, so that's all I was getting at. :)

  • Ich liebe Transformer obwohl ich ein MÄDCHEN bin!

    :D

  • i prefer the japanese opening a lot better

  • @TTHPascuagon

    I do not think that "prefer" is the right word for the matter.

  • @rgda3rd So, you have no actual idea, because you've never watched it, have no information about what it's about, and are unable spell correctly. That's... really... yeah.

    P.S. I removed your homophobic slur. Don't do it again.

  • I love the idea of this show making the decepticons massive war machines that took multiple autobots to beat, and I like how they added to that by making the autobots overall smaller. I however hate all of the super human villains that show up throughout the series, I know they wanted something different from decepticons to make them seem like a bigger threat, but really? did we need a little girl on a flying pony, a green arrow ripoff, creepy looking fast guy, and a robot stopping watch?

  • @ricemazter

    Well, throughout the series, ALL of the human villain characters have at least only 4 appearances each throughout the series. And besides, most of their appearances are short (only 1 or 2 minutes, with the exception of the episode "S.U.V."). So really, there is nothing to be complain about.

    Well, if the human villains actually have a big role in the plot then THAT's a valid complaint.

    Meltdown is kinda badass.

  • Animated. Too good to last.

  • I have for a couple of years to whom ever sang and made this version :/. I wonder if there's a full version

  • Thumbs up if you noticed that in Transformers Animated mostly every decepticon is bigger than Optimus,for example,Lugnut,Blitzwing,Megat­ron,and many more,please tell me I am not the only one who noticed this.

  • @UrgedCRUSHER Your not the only one!!!!! I to think some of the decepticons are bigger than Optimus!

  • @SoulSilverGirl1 They need to get the height right,they should redo transformers animated bu tthis time make optimus and megatron the same size

  • @UrgedCRUSHER Yeah they should do that!!! :D I'm glad someone agrees

  • I bet if the Transformers Movie never existed BumbleBee wouldn't be in Transformers Prime or Transformers Animated, because I don't think when the movie came out they BumbleBee suddenly appears in the series. Kids like Bumblebee because he was the first Autobot they saw in the movie and Transformers Prime or Transformers Animated copied BumbleBee because they thought BumbleBee would be very popular so BumbleBee was added to got more ratings. After G1 BumbleBee was forgotten until the movie came.

  • This just copied Robots in disguise series theme song

  • @CruzPokemonFan123 Umm.... you do realize where the RID theme came from?

  • @AeonMagnus I'm not sure

    cause japan made Robots in disguise cartoon but in japan it was called Car Robots

    But the theme song are both the same

  • @CruzPokemonFan123 The RID and Animated (and Energon and Cybertron) themes all derive from the original G1 theme.

  • @AeonMagnus thats why they have kinda the same theme well thanks for the information

  • @CruzPokemonFan123 The theme isn't really even the same, since RID replaced the "robots in disguise" line with "change before your eyes". They didn't like the show title in the theme song, I guess.

  • @doubleaction0080 They still have "Robots in Disguise!" line in the theme, they just switched it around with "More than meets the Eye!" and changed that into "Change before your eyes!".

  • This show was awsome why cant they put it back on the air

  • I wish they could have explained the mystery of Sari before the show ended.

    I dont think they ever explained where she came from and what exactly she is.

    Her father just found her in his lab one day and she did not know that she was a machine for all her life.

    She did not seem to be the same kind of robot as the Transformers.

  • the song is great and the plot was good, but the animation just hasn't done well when compared the other animated transformer series...

  • 21 people dislike a good Transformers series.

  • sigh, as much as i really don't like animated, the song they used for the intro isn't half bad :/

  • The animators are so lazy now...it's kinda sad

  • @0eulogra0 It's a good thing we have shows like Transformers Animated then, with their high level of detail, few animation errors, and background easter eggs.

  • @AeonMagnus It was sarcasm, wasn't it?

    I think Transformers: Animated is an insult to all Transformers series..

  • @RinLoller Now _that_ has got to be sarcasm, because if you'd watched a single episode, you'd know it was the biggest fan-wank they've ever produced.

  • @RinLoller i think your confusing transformers animated with transformers robots in disguise.

  • @DecepticonMegatron1 Not really, it must be my tastes but the drawings look like any of the CN's cartoons.

    Maybe it's because i have grown up with Energon and Cybertron, and i love em and their style.

  • @RinLoller Let me ask you something. I grew up on G1. It's still my favorite continuity (and the fact it's still going today in various forms says it has something worthwhile), but I'm under no illusions about the problems with the animation production. Hell, we were aware of it when it was airing in its first run.

    Have you gone actually gone back and re-watched Energon with a fond-memories-of-childhood-asi­de, objective eye? I didn't grow up on Energon but I watched it again recently for my

  • channel. While the art style isn't bad and is toy-accurate, the animation of the TFs is barely up to South Park level, barely able to walk (seriously, have you seen Ironhide run?), and limited to open mouth-closed mouth expressions. They had to "resort" to hand-drawn animation when the CG finger-puppets couldn't emote.

    Which is simply to say that Animated is not its art style. There's more to it than just skinny characters. And the animation _quality_ is not the same as the animation _style_.

  • Or perhaps more bluntly, it is exceedingly ironic for a fan of a pot such as an Energon, to be criticizing a kettle such as Animated, based on its animation. Style, quality or otherwise.

  • @AeonMagnus You're probably right, I apologize.

  • I wonder if CN has the balls to kill off Optimus

  • @LovelyBlueJin actualyy they did killed him off in the debut movie transform and roll out but he was dead for like what 1 minute soo yeah shortest death ever

  • Oh Cartoon Network ,HOW COULD YOU JUST GET RID OF THIS???

  • @Gizmo21312 Well the series finale was pretty good, Prowl died, they captured Megatron, and Sari was still a teen...

  • Megatron is in this spin-off bad-ass, he's my favorite character

  • @muslymier yeah dude he is easily my favourite megatron why ? cod he killed off starscream as soon as he got his new body back ! true starscream did'nt officially die but still ! i luv this series overall my only major complaint is sentinel prime ! god i could punch his lights out if i was a giant robot !

  • haters who have never watched the full series: GIVE IT A CHANCE. i did and i like G1, but i watched the whole series and it was like G1 with a different art style and a different story line

  • wow wtf

    

  • THIS SHOW SUCKS BUT I LOVE THE THEME ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VERSIONS OF IT BESIDE THE ALTERNATE ORIGINAL MOVIE THEME, IRONICALLY I THINK THE G1 INTRO SUCKS

  • the only good thing about this serie is that the G1 intro music was used.

  • @jiofreed13131 And did you actually watch it, or are you just hocking a loogie on something simply because it's different?

  • transformers animated is retarded

  • @brandon17998 Would you care to articulate a more considered rationale for this perception? Or do you just want to leave it at a "cooties" standard?

  • well optimus prime had a lot of guys under his command. In this show he has like 4 guys under his command. Optimus Prime was this confident machismo bot. This prime is all whiny.

  • @MrHoppers002 Exactly when was he "whiny"? Aside from getting frustrated during "Megatron Rising", his whole schtick was that nothing was insurmountable if they worked together as a team, they were all cogs in the great Autobot machine. He yelled at Sentinel Prime, however Sentinel was specifically designed to be an antagonist and all around douche.

  • yeah original prime didn't give long winded speeches. lol

  • @MrHoppers002 _That's_ your idea of "whiny"?

    Man... wait till you get a job...

  • i have a job. i hate long winded speeches

  • @MrHoppers002 Good. Cos Animated Prime made one speech, once.

  • G1 was silly at first but later without it no other Transformers series would be possible.And it did have some good storylines later on, especially when it came to the comics.

    That said, screw the TFA haters, I fucking loved this cartoon and it was a fresh spin to the franchise.

  • i still don't know about this series (in general)

  • this show is alot better than what some people say

  • TFA seemed more like a family show due to its non chessiness, deep plotting and story arcs. couple that with great characters, action, humour, storiies and design.

    It is one of my favourites. (its better than g1)!

  • Animated was 200 million times better than Michael Bay's movies.

  • i like it how they recycled the g1 theme abit

  • transformers are robots, these are fuckin furries...

  • @iluvcynder If you're seeing hair, fur or a zipper, you need to get your eyes checked.

  • @iluvcynder Nothing beats Transformers Cybertron :D!!!

  • very bad animation and character design ... :´(

  • This series isn't bad, but the transformers look like shit.

    They should be bulky, not these skinny bodies.

    The best remake was armada tbh, good story, and they had a proper look and a great remix of the original theme.

    Beast wars was an awesome series aswell.

  • i didn't like this show very much, but I can't deny the epicness of that intro.

  • does anyone see a similar design of Bumblebee and an actual bumble bee.

  • I'm only going to say this once:

    I loved this show, to me, this is as close to perfection for a transformer TV series can get. It has everything, action, humor, character development, and even drama. What other cartoon has that nowadays? Also, G-Whiners, f**k off, okay? I know that you're transformers fans, but that doesn't mean u have to say every tf series that isn't your precious G1 is awful.

  • Eh, why argue? All the Transformers series are great, other than the Movie and the dubbed anime, IMHO. This was an awesome show; it really did a good job at updating G1 for modern times. I especially liked the fact that Optimus wasn't technically the leader or was always the one with the best plan. Seriously I think there was a bit too much focus on him in the old days. I did have problems with the plotholes at the end, though. =/

  • i luv transformers

  • I might get some negative comments for this, but I absolutely LOVED this show, especially it's third season.

  • I tried watching this and turned it off,so crappy!

  • @SlitMouthWoman

    if u dont like it why did u click the link? O_O

  • @bethXcooper I mean the TV show,of this.

  • It's funny when you think how in the classic series, the only one in this group who survives is Bumblebee. Sure Optimus is brought back but I hated that episode cause it ruined the whole him being dead. Death scenes are no good if the character comes back. It ruins the mood.

  • This is the unike habe Bubblebee !!!

  • G1 is classic and retro, this isnt better then G1, but it has a certain charm and appeal...I like both :)

  • Awesome!

  • They should have included Blurr in this sequence. I know he's not a very prominent character, but still...

  • for your information, this show in my opinion is better than G1(even though G1 started it all, i'll give it credit for that). It had better storylines, humor, more character development and showed optimus' struggle to become a better leader. I still like G1 though and Beast Wars as well.

  • u_u tranformers animited = noob. transformers G1,amarda,énergon,etc = the best

  • Begining with the girl was utter crap. But she begins to have a actual meaning in the story and the series overall gets better as you watch it.

    Wish I knew this when me and my dad watched it.

  • I love this show (no i didn't grow up with G1 but i'm not a little child either) it makes me die a little inside when i see people hate on this show, and for what? G1 wasn't a holy grail of western animation, it was paper thin and only served to sell toys (true Animated is as well but i don't consider a masterpiece of television, it's just damn entertaining) PEOPLE, it's called nostalgia, it taints your opinions on things, think before you type.

    p.s. awesome theme btw

  • Everyone is so picky these days. I, for one, happen to be thrilled about this newer, more modern series. In some ways, I like it better than the G1 version. For one thing, the characters are dreamier! (Especially Blurr; he's my all-time favorite!) Plus, Sari's awesome! The only bad thing I have to say about the series is that it ended far too soon, with far too many loose ends.

  • I also enjoyed the Decepticon with the split personality thing.

  • Despite the fact that the show sucked. This actually isn't that bad a version of the theme song.

  • I'd watch G1 in my youth on VHS,but TFA,I passed on DVD.

    I now have all seasons of G1 on DVD

  • During Animated's run, you see Optimus Prime evolve from an idealistic but diffident leader of a bunch of "glitch-detail flunkies" to self-assured commander and hero to both Cybertron and Earth who, along with his team, saved both planets and took down the most ruthless Decepticon who ever lived.

    This is called character development. You've possibly not run into it before.

  • @AeonMagnus Kudos to that man. Animated takes classic characters and turns them into surprisingly well-developed characters who start out as incompetent to fairly formidable by the end of the series.

  • @AeonMagnus umm.. have you seen armada, cybertron, and energon? try character. giving up your life to save the universe.

  • @WaystedAges Which is what TFA Prowl did. If you check my channel, you'll see I just finished the Unicron Trilogy. It had some character development but undid or discarded most of it; Starscream, Megatron, Scorponok, Inferno, Demolishor...

    However, I was speaking in a more general sense about deciding what is good based on the pretty pictures and not the content.

  • @AeonMagnus animated literally had no story line its go find energon do some shit done, armada, energon, cybertron complete opposite you watched as they ventured around the world looking for planet cyberkeys or minicrons, in my opnion on top of looking better it was also, better.

  • @WaystedAges Name a single episode of TFA where they found Energon.

    This confirms to me that you have no idea what you're talking about, since Energon is not even a plot-point of Transformers Animated.

    Next time, you might want to watch it so you don't embarrass yourself.

  • @AeonMagnus i was giving an example, i have seen a few shows from TFA none of them i liked to add, there is nothing good about the show. like i said before all they do is run around kill decepticons and then tv series is over.

  • @WaystedAges Again, practical demonstration of zero knowledge. Otherwise not only would you know that they didn't "kill decepticons", but you'd know that many episodes had no Decepticons at all. You would also know about the season-wide arcs.

  • this kinda sounds like prowl singing. like he's ever gonna!

  • I like the way this version looks, and I grew up watching the original cartoon.

    The song sounds like Lost horizon.

  • Transformers Animated didn't really waver from its initial greatness to its closing greatness.

    Clearly you watched it all the way through in order to be an expert in the areas in which it was butchered. So perhaps you can provide specifics.

  • I grew up with G1 as well. I'm not saying you have to like Animated, because you don't. Just keep in mind that the franchise has to evolve to engage children in 2008-09.

    The first pictures spawned an outcry of almost universal hatred from fan sites. But once people watched it, many found storylines, humor, continuity, G1 homages and character development to enjoy.

    Can I just suggest before you dismiss it, watch a full episode, eg: the pilot. Then hate it for what it is, not just the art style.

  • @AeonMagnus eh, alright ill give it view.

  • Knowledge > Perception

  • who's to say they aren't made from a flexible or malleible smart metal?

  • Epic song, shame about the programme.

    It is alright i suppose.

  • Good music, too bad they seem to have desecrated the original art style. Oh well.

  • wil everyone stfu about the art style yeah i knoe is not very godd but not everything has to be g1 u know so shut it and lets other people enjoy the show just give it a shot and u might like it yeah i didnt like it at first but at least i didnt bitch and wine

  • i found the art style a bit iffy, but by the end of the first season it grew on me. shame it ended. a DVD movie is needed.

  • The drawings look terrible. They should be way more boxy or they can't turn into cars.

  • Have you seen the toys? They look exactly like the cartoon and they tun into cars (and such).

  • The english version of the intro is so much better than the german!

  • i need a lyrics from this song of german plz send me :D

  • this is english

  • Nich Dein Ernst, oder?

  • isses auch nicht haha

  • Oh puhlease, the dramatics...

  • Another "artsy" view.

  • Did you actually watch it or are you just basing your opinion on stupid 30-second clips like this one?

  • this song is cool

  • yes i watch it and don't like it

    the original it's better than that even transformers victory it's better than that but if you like it i undertand. it's only my opinion

  • That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, particularly since you gave it a shot but still didn't like it.

    It's my feeling that a large proportion of the other people talking about hating the series have never watched even one episode and base their "opinion" on a stupid 15-30 second clip, for which I have no respect at all.

  • In 2009(present date),I started to watch Transformers Armada.

  • Did you even actually watch it?

  • These series are pretty good but needs more action and better draw

  • I like the song ^^ but i think it's animation SUCKSS !!

  • they took a good thing and fucked it up

  • i know this a cartoon but the Transformers live a little too...human-like

    i never really could watch it for some reason it doesn't have the feel of the old ones

  • Transformers

    More than meets the eye

    Transformers

    Robots in disguise

    Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces on

    to the deceptions

    Transformers

    Transformers

  • A great show that shouldn't have ended so soon.

  • i didn't mind this show... to me.. transformers is transformers... the only thing they did wrong was make primes voice diffrent but it has all the things that shows thease days are lacking.. action story some good jokes alot of shows now.. well.. lets just say i feel bad for everyone 12 and under who has to grow up with some of that crap lol

  • This is one of the better Transformers series. And those who say that G1 is better: This at least has some plots, where G1 only had 1 plot: Decepticons want Energon, steal it from the humans, Autobots stop them or get their asses kicked. That's a lot of G1 episodes in a nutshell.

  • Comment removed

  • @Comodovaran okay let me tell you this. Even though the G1 series of transformers have one plot, but they didn't put in crapy human villains like headmaster, nanosec, and the litte girl who is riding a evil version of my little phony. So asked yourself, is this the better transformers series?

  • They're not any more ridiculous than Dr Archeville, the brain-dead fatso Sean Berger, and Lord Chumley, a British dude whose tactics included a billboard with a giant hand to grab and forcibly transform Blaster. Not to mention the non-human, non-Transformer villains like Torq III, Kremzeek and Deceptitran. All fun, perhaps, but certainly ridiculous. So I'd say they're about even really.

  • @AeonMagnus I could not of said it better myself. Nostalgia goggles impede everyone.

  • @Comodovaran you don't need plots after plot just the one can be the best

  • @bluesabar Maybe, but then it would involve something else than stealing energon all the time. Every time I saw the Decepticons steal stuff, I wanted to do like my little neice does when she watches Dora: Decepticons don't steal, Decepticons don't steal! or something like that.

  • @Comodovaran mmm this version of transformers look´s like "poochie" version of them ok new plots new generation, bla bla bla same of the same another poorly remake (i dont know how can i call this garbage)specially for the animation.

  • @Comodovaran then you were not watching the same show that the rest of us were!

    animated had them fighting my little ponies, and a robin hood wanna be super vilan?

    yeah so much better then G1 gtfo here the plot only got passible in animated near the end and by that time it was too late to save the series.

    transformers prime is promissing, but the writers have a bad habbit of killing off nearly everyone they introduce! That's a bad sign for the series.

  • @ironomega G1 had them fighting taxis, an alligator, a British ponce, a cat, a witch, a disco, an electric discharge, a billboard and a crazy guy with a tin-foil head.

    Powdered Sugar was at least an ironic spoof - "it's My Little Pony... now with mega-destructo-laser ray!" Professor Princess appeared in 2 episodes, the Angry Archer in 3. Their first appearances were brief, and one them they appeared together. Out of 42. So, that's what's wrong with 9% of the episodes. What about the others?

  • @Comodovaran

    The best thing about nostalgia is finding that some things are actually better than you remember, this was my personal experience with Beast Wars, the worst aspect is finding things that aren't as great as you remember, and being neck-deep in denial about it.

  • G1 stories were more well shall we say less kiddie.

  • Ah. You must be a Kiss Players fan.

  • Alguien sabe como se llama la canción? si lo saben por favor, podrian decirmelo? Gracias.

    What is the name the song?

    if you know, could tell?

    Thaks.
