Less than meets the eye?
So, going to the Transformers show last week got me wondering why I didn't stick with the little buggers after the conclusion of Beast Machines.
Then, it ocurred to me: the new Transformers suck.
I have a simple grading scale for cool Transformers. To be really coo,, they have to A) Look cool and B) have a cool personality.
Granted, these guidelines are entirely subjective. But, to me, no Transformers have met these joint guidelines since Beast Machines. My favorite characteres on that show were Jetstorm and Thrust. They were cool, and they had neat and unconventional designs. Yay.
What came next? Robots in Desguise. I didn't really get into that show; it was predictable, and the characters failed to "Grab" me. Plus, most of them were repaints anyway. Sorry, try again!
Then came Armada, which I also think is sub-par. However, a few of those characters seemed decent; I liked Sideways in particular, but his robot mode sucked. Cyclonous looked awesome, but had the personality of a brick. Letdown.
The coolest looking figure in Armada was "Predacon", a re-release of TRansmetal I Megatron. However, he does'nt appeare on the show; therefore, he has no personality at all. Sigh.
Universe is just a bunch of repaints.
Here's hoping the next Transformers incarnation doesn't disappoint like the last two have.
Expect Tv, comic & movie reviews tomorrow.
Thought of the moment: Bring back Dinobot!
Quote of the moment: "This is captain Jetsorm speaking. Please feel free to move about the tarmak and flee for your miserable little life!"-Jetstorm
