So, just watched the Transformers Prime 5 part mini series online. Thank god for the internet, otherwise i would probably never see this in the UK.

The 1st thought I had after watching it was...HOLY SH*T!!

Now this...mini series, seems to act as the pilot for the 65 ep series that is starting next February. And I can honestly say, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

The design is kind of a cross between movieverse and animated, and the show itself has that...edge, that I can't see in other series. Hell, we actually see some one get KILLED about 4 minutes in!
The human characters were alright, I'm curious as how their roles will go during the actual series.
The graphics are smooth, the fights were awesome (and at times...reminiscent of the G1 era, with the odd vibe of War For Cybertron (you'll see when)) and the overall plot was entertaining.

But for me, the main highlight of the mini series...Peter Cullen and Frank Welker. And if you don't know who that is, you may consider asking yourself if you are a fan of Transformers!


Anyone else watched it? What did you guys think of it?

I loved that they got Peter Cullen and Frank Welker back for the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron. I can't wait for this series when it airs in feburary.

Yesssssss.

I also am very pleased about how realistic it is. And it makes sense that it is heavily reminiscent of the movies; the two forces behind the series are none other than Kurtzman and Orci, the screenwriters for both Transformers (2007) and Revenge of the Fallen.

Plus, I love how the bots aren't completely happy to have humans along like they have been in other series, but then the bots warmed up to them over time. And the humans are also very aware of how precarious their position is when caught in a robot battle. More so than any other serious during the battle on the Decepticon cruiser, I actually felt like there was danger to the kids.

I also feel like the characterization is doing well. None of the characters seem to be stiff and over-cartoony.

In all, I feel that this series has a lot of promise. Can't wait until February.

Okay, been a while since I posted in this thread, but I have to ask-who here has been watching the current series of Transformers: Prime?

Have to admit-it's a pretty decent series so far. The recent episode (Rock Bottom) is probably my favourite so far, along with CrissCross. Though in Rock Bottom, we learn just WHY you don't screw with Megatron. He definitely seemed to to steal the spotlight in that one.

What do you guys think so far?

I haven't quite liked any of the new transformers series/movies

I still say you can't beat the originals like the original movie when prime died but later in the actual series was brought back to life :D that was truly awesome. I like the older ones over anything new to come out and michael bay has done a horrible job on the transformers movies -_- i watched the first one it was shit, didn't even care to see what the 2nd or 3rd one would be like.

(Shrugs) Not everyone likes the new stuff, but Prime is still better than the past few series we had (Mostly the Armada Trilogy...god that series sucked!)

And I see what you mean, but the bay movies aren't that bad imo. But, considering I have the original G1 film on DVD, they definitely lack that...something that will make them timeless classics that everyone will remember or at least know about!

I love transformers. There such cool movies. I saw the dark side of the moon in 3-d it was soo cool ^^

Okay, I know it's been a while but whose still following the series. I think what I've seen has been fairly decent, definitely an improvement on the last few series we had (excluding animated, which was pretty good from the bits I've seen).

And we have the finale next week. What do you guys think about the finale so far and the series overall?

I hope that next season, they bring in HotRod, Shockwave, and the Dinobots.

LOL well I'm glad I found this I wasn't sure if there were any more TFP fans out there! :XD

And well by now I think you've all seen the finale; I won't spoil anything btu OHMYGOD WASN'T IT JUST AMAZING?! And the ending...what a twist! I so did not see that coming AT ALL. :XD

To be honest-neither did I. Writers really pulled something out of their hats on this one and considering the promo I've seen for season 2...GOD DAMN IT LOOKS AWESOME>

However, we will apparently be waiting until January/February before season 2 actually starts...:cry:

FRAG I'M SO EXCITED FOR IS TOO! :XD Wait what?! Next year?? I thought something would air end of November! T_T

well Sora finally saw an episode and well.........
Sora didn't like the animation at all. Sora goes to school with animators and is currently taking animation classes and the animation honestly looks like 90's special effects, which are not the greatest! ^^'
What Sora does love is getting Peter Cullen and Frank Welker to replay their characters again.....NOBODY can do Optimus Prime like Peter Cullen 8DD
(so because of this, Sora'll watch it again if it ever comes on and hes bored.)

You go to an animation school?? Oh wow that's veryc ool! :D
I rather like the animation though, but then again I know next to nothing about animation XD;

LOL oh yes I most definitely agree about them playing their characters again! :XD

Fair enough-that does sound pretty cool though Sora.

And ShadowDemon-It airs in the USA early 2012 but apparently, it starts airing 28th November 2011 in Canada!

Whether this is true or not, I DO NOT know and cannot say for sure until next tuesday/wednesday at the earliest!

Good thing I live in Canada then! :XD Though either way I'm still excited ;)

So it looks like the internet lied to us-I think. Did you get ANYTHING regarding Prime over in Canada, ShadowDemon101?

On a side note-WOOT! 1000 posts!!

Honestly I haven't checked yet to see if there were any new episodes aired yet since I'm trying to focus on my exams which are literally next week XD;; I'm going to have to check with my friend though; she always gives me links to new episodes and stuff related to TFP ;)

Good luck. I've looked everywhere and the only possible link I've found wanted you to do one of those bloody surveys before you can watch the episode.

On that I checked the Wiki page again and it turns out there's a title for the episode-'Rise of Dreadwing'. However, it won't air in Canada until 11th February 2012 and the US doesn't have a specified date yet!

Still, good luck and if you manage to get a link, would you be willing to share with the rest of us?

If I do I will absolutely link you promise ;)

THANK YOU :glomp:
