The Coffee Pony 1,390 July 23, 2015 Author Share July 23, 2015 What is your favorite Transformers character. I'd have to go with Dinobot from Beast Wars Started out as a Predicon traitor, defected to the Maximals, always fought with honor, grew into a likable character and died taking on the entire Predacon team on his own to defend the pre-evolved humans! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coffee Pony 1,390 July 23, 2015 Author Share July 23, 2015 Why is Beast Wars your favorite and why is Transformers Robots in Disguise your least favorite? Beast Wars would be my favorite because aside from having some great stories (especially in Season 2 and 3) we had a great story arc involving the Maximals trying to save their ancestors and their timeline from getting destroyed by the Predicons. We saw quite a few great characters and quite a bit of character development from several characters including Dinobot, Blackarachnia, Silverbolt, Optimus Primal and Megatron. A lot the major establishments of Transformers lore was also developed in Beast Wars such as the dangers of raw energon and sparks. It also helped raise the standards of storytelling in Transformers cartoons in the west. This where Transformers shows ceased to be just a glorified toy commercial. I also loved the concept of the two sides changing into Beasts rather than Vehicles and I wish we would revisit that. Energon would actually be my least favorite but I'll gladly explain both. With Robots in Disguise, there was no charm to it whatsoever. It was just an Anime series that served as filler until Transformers Armada came out (and even that was okay at best). The main villains (the Predicons) were just goofy characters. There was one point during battle where one of the Autobots told one of the Preds (Slapper, I think it was.) to just stay right there and Slapper just let him climb up a building and attack him. There was also spotty dubbing and voice acting and the animation was choppy. Energon was MUCH WORSE. It's known as the absolute worst Transformers Series and for good reason. It had some really bad CGI and akwardly combined with with 2D animation, the CG was especially poor compared to both Beast Wars and Beast Machines as the autobots really didn't have any expressions to them. Allow me to get an example! The above images feature: A horrified Ironhide witnessing Demolishor's death; a surprised Ironhide asking a question; a determined Ironhide charging into battle; and a fighting-mad Ironhide striking a decisive blow. Can you figure out which is which? Not only that we also had misspelled episode titles! Shoddy dubbing, character de-evolution and a storyline that repeats itself. Also the dialog contained a lot of filler, in fact the TFWiki has a "pain count" as we see how many lines are repeated per episode. Allow me to use "Go for Unicron" as an example: Pain Count (Go for Unicron!) "Uh?": 13 Stock footage: 2 We need/they want energon: 2 It's time to: 4 We've gotta: 1 (Let's) Do it/this: 7 "Gimme a break": 1 "Uh?" happens to be the most repeated line in this show. Here's the Transformers Wiki going into great detail about the flaws of this show! http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_Energon_%28cartoon%29#Criticisms Let's say this is one of the shows that convinced me that "Transformers" and "Anime" just don't work well together! This is strange as Japan is known for Mecha (Gundam, Gurran Lagan, Escaflowne, Evangelion, etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coffee Pony 1,390 July 23, 2015 Author Share July 23, 2015 (edited) Thx for that link and damn, was Hasbro,that bad before? Sadly that's not even the worst thing Transformers related that has come from Japan. But yeah, do keep in mind the English-Dubbed Transformers Anime shows did come out during My Little Pony's Dork Age (G3 and G3.5). It looks like they wised up to Transformers first as Animated came out in 2007. Edited July 23, 2015 by The Coffee Pony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
