Transformers Animated ... I Don't Like It.

From Seibertron.com: "The news about the Transformers Animated Series is starting to pour in! ... The poster gives us our first look at Bulkhead, Ratchet, Prowl, and Bumblebee. "

The New Transformers Series, "Transformers Animated" will make its way to the TV tube coming in 2008. There'll be 26 episodes in its first season airing on the Cartoon Network. But the results are already pointing towards the negative, especially from "old-school" Transformer fans, like myself, who have seen a couple of TF cartoons here and there throughout the years. On a Transformers fan site called Seibertron.com, many fans are voicing their displeasure of how the robots appear in this cartoon - oddly shaped and exaggerated, as in most of the other series out there that are produced and animated by the Cartoon Network. The 2-D animation itself is something I do not even find to be satisfying and is SO incomparable to the way they looked in the very first Transformers cartoon launched in 1984 that included Peter Cullen as the voice of iconic hero Autobot leader Optimus Prime (as well as playing the same character that made him famous in the upcoming "Transformers" movie opening July 2nd)... I'm sure there'll definitely be good storylines (in which I hope it will) associated with this new installment to the Transformers mythos, but I think they need to get off of this type of animation since most cartoons at this day and age seem to look like each other. I'm truly disappointed to see how 2-D is looking these days. Very "family-friendly" which is a plus to the kids and their parents, but definitely lacking the quality in the art - awful, just AWFUL! The little "me" is crying right now - waaaah waaaah! (LOL) Even a kid could even possibly beat these artists animating this - and heck if it works, give him or her a job - and even a RAISE! I hope it's not too late to change the look somehow. The show is gonna be excellent for the next generation of Transformers fans (primarily younger kids). Bad for the older ones like me. No matter what, we'll all have a piece of the Transformers legacy.
