Really, who comes up with this stuff? I am always amazed how a team can take a decent original cartoons plus a number of knock-offs ranging from rather good to fairly poor - and create something like this. Why would anyone think this was worth adding to the Transformers saga? Transformers: Animated isn't just bad. It's laughably awful. It must have been aimed at much younger children than was the original. If you were to imagine a Transformers and Teletubbies hybrid, this might be it.
That being said, perhaps very young children (say, in the 2-6 range) would enjoy this. Not being and expert in that demographic and never having parented young children, I cannot say. I can only state with certainty that to teenagers, young adults and adults, this will disappoint. Especially if you were an first-run fan of the original Transformers.
This mockery doesn't deserve the name "Transformers".
In this case, it's truly LESS than meets the eye.
