It looks ok.

>>149369332 (OP)
I'll watch it and get back to you.

>>149369332 (OP)
It is nice but it is for a young audience. Optimus looks kinda cute and Megatron is cool. Interesting choice for an alt mode. I can't find the second episode though.

>>149369513
Episodes are five minutes each. The first two were in the same video.

I like that Megatron's face has the front horns reminiscent of Transmetal Megatron, Optimus's head reminds me of Armada too. I like how different this is, some kind of gaming battle world is an interesting change. But why are all cartoons five minute things uploaded to Youtube now?

>But why are all cartoons five minute things uploaded to Youtube now?
Kids don't watch regular TV anymore so there's no point in financing a full animated series.

>>149369332 (OP)
See you in 3-5 years when the next transformers slop drops after this one flops

>>149369870
It doesn't have to flop for that to happen. Transformers seems to be set by default to just reboot every couple years now. Even if a show was popular. Prime was doing well but was going to be cancelled in favour of a new series, that why it switched to that Beast Hunters subtitle so that the writers could at least close out the story.

>>149369332 (OP)
I like it!
Is it going to be a weekly thing?

>>149370010
Probably? Wikipedia says the next episode is in two weeks, but since we've gotten two episodes this week, maybe it will be weekly after the third.

>>149369513
>Interesting choice for an alt mode
I agree and I hope he's not the only one with a new alt mode.

>>149369332 (OP)

They are never gonna let this franchise to have another 2D cartoon?

>>149370355
No.

>>149369332 (OP)
Is this related to the series with prime and Megatron having animals that can combine into arms and legs?

>>149370355
There hasn’t even been a mecha 2D anime in years, has there?
If even the Japanese won’t do 2D animated mecha, what hope does the US have?

is this an add for a mobile game?

>>149369941
That's due to Hasbro only wanting to sell the same 5 or so characters. They assume people only want to buy Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, and maybe Jazz. Once those have sold, it's time to make a new series so they can repackage the exact same 5 characters and sell them all over again.

>>149369941
>r. Prime was doing well but was going to be cancelled in favour of a new series,
It did terribly, anon. It was RiD 2015 that did well, as much as people hate to acknowledge that.

The way Hasbro has squandered the last 18 years of this IP is sickening.

>>149370528

No, thats Wild King.
.....You make my heart sing.

>>149370528
I think that was made because CyberWorld toys weren't fit to sell in japan.

>>149372696
More like Takara didn't want them, as I recall.

>>149369332 (OP)
It's neat, not anything I'd consider recommending to a friend but it has its charm, I particularly like how Optimus is written to be less stoic and moreso quippy, every voice fits their respective characters well enough and overall I'd say it does a good job at what it sets out to do, definitely wouldn't say it's for me so chances are I'll probably watch another episode if I'm particularly bored without anything better to do or something like that.
not a fan of them referencing meme poses though

>>149372696
Yeah, those designed feel like they belong in a preschool show, but the writing feels like it's maybe one step above RiD (the original) in maturity.

A weird mix to be sure.

>>149369332 (OP)
Grimlock with a minigun is something I didn't know I wanted until now.

He had a Best Wars Megatron transformation instead of his normal one.

>>149370931
>maybe Jazz
wouldn't Soundwave make more sense? i don't think Hasbro loves Jazz seeing as how he's barely in anything, meanwhile Soundwave frequently shows up in cartoons

>>149369332 (OP)
Looks okay. Reminds me of Beast Wars. But why is it kind of video gamey?

>>149369332 (OP)
Nothing special so far, but it gets huge bonus points for NOT making Optimus a stick in the mud.

>>149369332 (OP)
Meh, seems ok. Not a fan of the quippy dialog and constant jokes from Optimus, and feels like the Transformers got sucked into a Mobile game, but it looks better than Earthspark at least

>>149369332 (OP)
how cyberrific!

Still waiting for Hasbro to greenlight a new Arena Shooter.
Basically Marvel Rivals meets Armored Core with elements of vehicular combat (Though the beastformers and ones with more non-standard alternate forms are more gimmicky).

Fall of Cybertron had DLC skins of the Dinobots and Insecticons for multiplayer but they still moved the same way as the normal vehicles.
