I feel this series is getting a bad rep. It really is not that bad. The artwork is done well, the animation might not be top notch, but- hey- give these guys a break. Nobody's perfect. The voice acting is not bad either. I am almost positive the original voice actors were not only unavailable, but their voices probably changed. This WAS 1984 when they last did this (or whatever, I cant remember when the last show was). In any case, this show exceeds the 1984 predecessor in many areas, including artwork, coloring, and i kind of like the idea of a constant, ongoing search for a lost race of robots rather than just a bunch of decipticon shenanigans looking for "energon"; has more of a serial effect. Both of these series have their ups and downs (i must admit, the kids are a little harder to swallow than Sparkplug and Spike) and i consider them equally good. Transformers: Armada might not be the best thing in the world, but neither was the G1 cartoon. Appearently, G1 transformers had size compensators built in to their systems. In robot form, Soundwave towers over humans, but in cassette player form manages to fit neatly in the palm of any unsuspecting person. Megatron and Starscream stand about shoulder to shoulder in robot form, but also fits in the palm of anyone nearby (if I am correct, I believe I saw an episode where a human used Megatron in pistol form, correct me if I am wrong). And just where does Prime's trailer go when he transforms? I am just saying that all things should be considered before any hasty opinions should be ade.
