This thing has so much backstory/continuity it's ridiculous, and I'm gonna watch every minute of it. Who is responsible? Show yourself! >Jeff Kline Ah. Now it all makes sense. 1st minute: Cybertron has fallen, rendezvous at Earth.

Not too optimistic about it. Reminds me of something that could air on Qubo or Nick Jr. its even more um.."basic" (another more polite term for dumbed down) than Transformers Armada. Wonder if they'll have the same voice acting and animation mistakes? Willing to give this show a try since it TFPrime is only hiatus now and there really isn’t anything else to watch.

You'll feel better. You can hear all about how <i>American Muslims</i> is bad for family value because it shows Muslims as normal people, and not Sharia law pounding Jihadists. ...You know, and why Jon thinks that guy in Florida is stupid.
