After watching a sneak peak of this new series, I thought it would be promising to the source material of the Aligned continuity family despite the CG animation downgrade. However, when I first saw the first episode of the series, I was more than shocked. I was extremely disappointed.The storytelling for the first episode (ironically known as Pilot, Pt. 1) was rushed and lacking the creative spark which made previous Transformers TV series such as the Beast Era series, Prime and best of all, Animated, so successful. Storytelling became more and more disappointing with each subsequent episode.The characters are underdeveloped and generic, it's hard to feel they are believable. The writers were being selfish by disregarding other Aligned fiction besides Prime and (sadly) Rescue Bots, but it feels so wrong with these different characterizations of certain characters who appeared in other Aligned fiction but are entirely different and sh*t in this series. Grimlock, for example, is entirely different in comparison to his WFC/FOC counterpart by starting off as Decepticon, nor is he in control of a team of Dinobots either, which also disappoints longtime fans (including me). Oh, and he is green. There is also an Autobot samurai known as Drift who is a racial stereotype, much like his AOE counterpart.Most Decepticons resemble somewhat of animals and/or monsters whenever they would transform out of their alternate modes, which remains confusing as to how these Decepticons resemble said creatures in their robot modes. I suspect the Decepticon scientist Shockwave hadn't anything to do with this as he was busy with "Project Predacon" during Prime. Also, there's a Decepticon other than Grimlock who is a Dinobot (daf*q).Character design is just plain hideous and intolerable. Previous Transformers TV series such as Beast Machines, Animated and Prime were more distinctive with their artistic styles in comparison to this rubbish and that's saying something. Season 2 also sees Polygon recycling many Decepticon character models from Season 1 so as to distance each of these "new" Decepticons from their Season 1 counterparts. Just sad, even for me.The voice acting is dull, lifeless and painful, it feels as if you wouldn't want to take voice acting as a career anymore. Peter Cullen, (the voice of Optimus Prime) also, doesn't bring the same depth of acting as he did in Prime.I'm fine with African-American voice actor Khary Payton as the voice of Grimlock (I respect that), but the direction for the character that he has to take is annoying but only because it's the voice director's fault (ironically the same voice director for Prime since Season 1, Episode 12).Too much Dubstep and campy music scores from score composers Kevin Manthei and Kevin Kiner.CG animation is a downgrade in comparison to Prime, even by the same animation studio. The character animations feel stiff and lifeless in this series.As this is (or was) meant to be a sequel series to Prime, this shouldn't feel as if is set within the same timeline as its predecessor. As it's also meant to be set within the Aligned continuity family (Prime/WFC/FOC/Rage of the Dinobots), it feels more non-canonical than it (sadly) is. There's a lot of major continuity errors, many of which offend the continuity timeline. Despite Ratchet, Soundwave and Starscream's reappearance for Season 2, it feels like a complete waste of time adding them to the mess.To conclude my review of this "sequel", I believe this should be set within a separate continuity family away from the Aligned continuity family and timeline, along with the dreaded Rescue Bots series. I suggest you cease watching this non-canonical crap right now and save yourself some grief. Perhaps the lesson is that not everything new is always better than its predecessor. You should really take this to heart, as the fifth live-action Transformers film is coming out this year.

The series is great, and if we vote enough to it could get another season, all transformers series have been different, there is nothing wrong with this one, but it must have Megatron in it, and the return of the three kids from prime. I have a YouTube videos about it. I wonder why Megatron hasn't appeared yet. Everyone would love that, wound't you?. We should have a poll for it, I can't wait to see what cartoon Hasbro has next for the transformers. However it's all Star Wars and frozen at the moment, and just because transformers was meant for boys doesn't mean it should have more male characters, that makes it unfair, it should be for both boys and girls, it's the same with My little pony, the new baby was said to be a foul but became a female, I'm not saying I don't like her, I do, it's just that like transformers it's cented on one gender, and has more of one gender in it, I wish more girls were involved with transformers.

Now I had mix feelings about Transformers:Robots In Disguise for a few reasons1.It was on the Cartoon Network, a station I still have a bitter feeling to since they don't play any good shows anymore.2.It was titled "Robots In Disguise" because we already had a Transformers from 2001 called Robots Ind Disguise even though it was a dub from Japan's Car Robots it's still the Principal If I had a voted I would have called it Transformers:Legacy since this series is a follow up to Transformers Prime. But still once I set down to watch it, it still felt good to be a fan of Transformers. They said this series is suppose to target a younger crowd needless to say I believe this series is fit for all fans of the Transformers because it features a lot that fans have love about the series since 1984 This time the Autobots are Bumblebee, Sideswipe,Strongarm, Grimlock and Fixit with guest stars from Optimus Prime, Drift,Jetstorm Slipstream Windblade and JazzThe Decepticons are Steeljaw, Underbite, Hammerstrike, Bisk, Chop Shop, Terrashock, Thunderhoof, Filch, Springload, Fracture, Airazor, Divebomb and too many more to count While the first episode did take time for me to get use to I started to enjoy the series as each episode actually makes watching this series worth while. It features a very well done cast of voice actors who give a entertaining voice performance in each episode. I like the animation style they have for this series it gives the series it's original work and that's not easy to do anymore in TVPlus the plot for each episode is very creative and it does a lot to work for kids and adults that love Transformers As a long time fan of Transformers I can say is this show is More Than Meets The Eye

For me,Transformers Prime was the best Transformers series i ever watched and Robots IN Disguise is somehow, a little distanced from what was Transformers Prime.It is improving with the stories, but its really not like Autobots stopping grand plots of EVIL Decepticons, but a lot of comedy and 4 Autobots struggling to control just one Decepticon every episode-NO grand EVIL yet and no big mastermind;just catch some Decepticons, put them in stasis.. and make sure they stay that way.Now , speaking of the comedy, you want to see a burger splat on Optimus Prime's face 'cause that would the silliest and most disrespecting thing happening to Optimus in all the animated multi-verse...now i am not saying loose that touch suddenly 'cause if that does the show will loose popularity and'll be canceled.I don't want that , i want the Prime animated universe to continue, now that they have introduced an OK but 'etu'innegative sequel.I say IMPROVE.
