Never liked the show's artsyle, but I forgot how quality the show was in terms of story telling and what not.

Something else that I soon came to appreciate was the human enemies. They were very Teen Titans, but it did help build up the threat of the Decepticons, so the Autobots had enemies to fight, but it didn't turn the Decepticons into their punching bags (At least, in S1).

That's probably the coolest thing about Animated, how the Autobots (at least Optimus' team) were so horribly outclassed by the Decepticons. It made room for some growth, especially towards the latter two seasons when they finally become more of a match for them.

Sari and her damned Mcguffin key though. I forgot how overused it became in the first season.

I think they realized it too, since it was toned down later on. :lol But relative to other shows of the same nature it wasn't bad, I guess.

Yeah, better than Prime at least.

Here's hoping RID 2 does better; even if they're still going with the noseless look.

Prime tried at least, but it tried to be more than it could hope for. You can't cram 30 years of lore into 3 seasons. It just can't be done.

Actually, Animated managed to do a pretty good job of it, as I'm discovering.
