Transformers Prime

Post » Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:31 pm

Having had played the Transformers Fall of Cybertron demo, it grabbed me back into the Transformers universe. I fondly recall the old animated series that used to be on Cartoon Network, and while I was too young to remember many specifics I at least recalled that I liked it. It was good, for it's time. I had hoped there was a more recent Transformers show but I didn't know, so the thought escaped my mind for a bit.



But then the other day I caught myself watching The Hub for one reason or another and I stumbled upon Transformers Prime! I didn't like to start watching shows mid season so I found episodes online and watched from there.



It's quite possibly the most compelling show rated TV-Y7. Not sure whether to call it a cartoon or a CGI cartoon or what, but it's great. The only downfall of the show is some of the gimmicky things they have to put in to maintain the TV-Y7 rating but those things are, for the most part majorly off set by compelling characters and plot.



There is also some really good famous cast for the show as well. The writers being the ones for the first two Transformers films and the writers from The Fringe and Star Trek. Peter Cullen of course returning as Optimus, Steve Blum voicing StarScream and Frank Welker who voiced Megatron from the original series is back as well. Other notable people being Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres (both from Firefly), and John Noble (Fringe) and Brian Tyler scoring the music. Lastly, it has won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards in 2011 and 2012.





So, anyone else seen Transformers Prime? I'm surprised no one talks about it here, and if you haven't seen it, you know it's good, so watch it.

Seen a bunch of episodes here and there, and it's pretty good.

Thought this was about the tablet

Seriously disappointed

OP impossible to read anyway due to poor text color choice (Note in the future that not everyone uses the Warrior theme).

I don't know what series it was, but it was the one where Megatron looked like http://www.unicron.us/tf2005/toypix/megatron1a.jpg

It was such a good show, but then they started making different versions where the cartoons were "simplified" and weren't as detailed as the one above. Looking more like http://blogzarro.com/images/transformers_animated.jpg

I haven't seen Transformers Prime. Well, outside of a pony crossover parody.

I like Adam Baldwin. I might have to check it out now.

Nothing beats Beast Wars though. That show was the [censored].

I am a huge Trasformers fan and when I first seen the previews for Prime I thought it looked stupid, but now that I have watched it its amazing and its one of the non anime or Family Guy cartoons I actually watch its amazing.

The OP is impossible to read in any board theme besides the original. In my theme it blends completely into the background and I have to highlight the text to read it.

Maybe it was intentional. Maybe he's a Decepticon in disguise.

Sorry, I copy and pasted it from where I posted that on another forum, and it messed up the format.
