I am not a big Transformers fan but I wanted to see what other members of the board thought about the new cartoon. I actually got to see some of the new cartoon on youtube........OMG what utter garbage! I have to vent about this because I was almost outraged by how bad it was. I felt it is a slap in the face to G1 and Transformers legacy for that matter. It was the most mindless production I have ever seen.
I cannot believe how bad cartoons have become, it makes me appreciate the level of detail and sophistication of 80's cartoon when you compare them side by side. The dialog and story is so mind numbingly dumb it makes you lose brain cells as you watch. The Autobots are a bunch of goofy teenagers who say "dude" and act awkward as they "grow up"!!!!!!! Are they going to have a robotic pimple or a crying fest next?
Where is the dramatic action stories that represents the heroic struggle of the autobots vs. decepticons? Too many other cartoons today mimic this kind of feel good ****. It's no wonder why kids today, boys in particular, are so overly emotional and do not act like boys. They act like a bunch of girls who struggle with everyday problems and discuss them in detail instead of dealing with them head on. They need to see Optimus prime save the world as he kicks the **** out of Megatron in the process, then celebrate with the rest of the autobots on another great victory won. In other words deal with the problem, defeat it then move on and do not dwell on the victimization of life.
Rodimus Prime was not confident and he was an emotional autobot back in the day, he was a perfect example of what you should not become:

So yeah or nay on the new cartoon?
