Never heard of these new animated series of Transformers.
Said to have been around for past few years during its airing on America’s The Cartoon Network, and were based on Transformers G1 toy line.
And here’s the Japanease toy commercial toy for the show, by Takara Tomy.
To be honest, I’m not really impressed with the way the series’ been produced, let alone its artwork. It’s not that because the artwork was anything but “clumsy”, but rather it lacks its unique appeal as compared to the 80’s classics. And because I’m such an avid old school mecha fan, I felt whole plot and content of the show was more……
“Kiddie-like”
Sure the original series was aimed for kids too. But (on a personal note) I just felt this is very wrong for new animated series to have reduced itself to a type of show where people could not fully grasp on the whole picture why Transformers G1 was made as one of the pop culture phenomenon of that decade! I mean that’s what made it special.
But this…. I’m just not too sure. Maybe I’m a bit biased?
What do you think? You’d think the new Transformers animated series live up to its expectations of the original?
