Guys...I got some bad news. Next transformers is gonna be aimed at kids...as in it's gonna be closer to rescue bots than Prime. :( :( ...well..I guess there's always Transformers GO!, right?

Hrmm....how do the character designs look? More Robots in Disguise? Or very much Rescue Bots?

very very simple. I like the designs (same designer), but they are going in a completely opposite direction. Instructions were to keep them as simple as possible...and then start adding detials. Basically, can you design a robot with as little lines as possible?

I'm guessing its not going to be along the lines of Animated then. To be fair a lot of us didn't give Animated much of a chance until the toys came out.

As for Robots without lines...wow. Drawing a blank. I'll reserve judgement when we start seeing some official art.

Too bad they're probably going to keep the toys stupidly simple like the upscaled Cyberverse stuff though. So it clearly wasn't just a thing to do at the tail end of the BH line like they promised at BotCon. "Simple as possible" is 100% their game plan for everything sans Generations.

Which is a major, major disappointment. And not going to work well at all, methinks.

As long as the writing of the show isn't just like Rescue Bots, I might give it a shot at least. Unless you mean both design and story will be like it, in which case that does not give me much hope...

Eh, doesn't nessicary mean it's going to be bad.

Yeah, it won't necessarily be bad. It could be good. I'm just letting nostalgia get the better of me. I hardly watch cartoons aimed at the younger/younger kids (rescue bots, super hero squad, the fischer price Rescue Heroes). But as Electric Turhak brought up, it might mean simpler toys too...that seems to be the case that a lot of companies are going. Mattel, Hasbro and etc.

Thank god we still have japanese toys. :)

Oh man Rescue Heroes, totally forgot about that show, as an adult it all seems so dumb but as a kid that was the shit.

Link?

No link. I'm friends with the folks working on it.
