I don't even know how to respond to that...

And Prime's first season is pretty good. Second and Third are just kind of average.

Transformers Prime is very enjoyable but also heavily flawed.

You can really tell when the money started to run out in the second season.


Hasbro weirdly considers this series to be in-canon with the "War for Cybertron/ Fall of Cybertron" video games, which doesn't really work but whatever.

As a fan of the show I'm curious what you didn't like about it.

Not hating of course.

Speaking of Prime, watching the end of the last episode right now.

A HUGE chunk of the second season and even a good part of the 3rd are spent on these long "Fetch-Quests" that really don't amount to much. It gets into a really predictable routine of "Hey, let's go find The Thing/Oh no, now bad guys have The Thing" VERY quickly.

Plus the second season is marred by TWO clip-show episodes; a concept mostly rendered extinct in other media.

Finally, the cast sports a number of impressive actors- which is good because it helps round out things but bad because a financially-challenged show can't afford to keep that many people around full-time. So lots of characters drop in & out with abridged arcs.

While I think the storytelling could've used some polish, I DO think Prime had a great story concept along with some fantastic designs.

I never understood that to be honest, or why Hasbro even made the decision for it either

Remember when we got Dwayne Johnson as Cliffjumper? Then he didn't return for his role for the flashback episode. Kinda made me sad a bit.

I agree, the fetch quests were quite the fillers. Overall though I think it was great despite such flaws compared to the Bayformers.

I do, that was when they were pushing WFC to be a huge franchise.

Really digging the art for that upcoming Transformers cartoon.
