Cartoon Network took a giant dump on Transformers

[Queasy]

Commercial for new Transformers Animated Series on Cartoon Network. When I originally heard the idea, I was dumbstruck. When I saw the stills, I was flabbergasted. When I saw this commercial over the weekend, I'm just in utter disbelief.

Yeah, I saw that. It's like they tried to do the anime style by just making it look like crap. That seems to be the popular thing lately.

 

[Anubis]

looks like its animated by the same people that do Teen Titans
old school people will hate

kids prob wont care

 

[hdeck]

lol and i thought the last version of transformers they put on tv was awful

 

[0roo0roo]

 

[Canun]

WTF, that looks like crap. It does look like the same people who did Teen Titans. Having to put a mouth on Optimus Prime? WTH were they thinking.

any time they try to "modernize" classic cartoons, the end result is generally pure crap.

As my first exhibit, I direct the jury to GI Joe Extreme

This aired the other day.
Did anyone actually watch it?

 

[LikeLinus]

Did Cartoon Network actually create this concept and series? Or did they just pick it up from Hasbro and whoever they used to create it?

 

[ranmaniac]

This is pure blasphemy to those who grew up watching Transformers in the 80's.

EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!

My response can only be described as: Oh snap!

Its for kids, the original Transformers animation sucks major goat balls regardless of the time period. The fact is that if you loved it you were a kid that fell in love it then and it grew on you like the love you might have for a family member no matter how dull or boring or ugly they might be. This is the same deal, but its meant for kids of today. Get over it.

 

[Minjin]

The animation reminds me of the old Batman cartoon.

Us old-timers who grew up in the 80's like the old style animation better. It irks us when good old cartoon characters have to be "anime'd up" to appeal to today's kids. Kinda like the new Bugs, Daffy, Taz, Road Runner, Coyote, etc.. :thumbsdown:

I was flipping past one of the channels that has Transformers: Cybertron on. I remember saying "Wow... Transformers" Then Optimus Prime flew into the sky and one of the kid characters said "And thats how Optimus Prime got his grove back".
