New Transformers Cartoon Coming to Cartoon Network

[bahn]

So while the majority of us have collectively echoed our excitement over the live-action Transformers, now we can start groaning over the new animated series in the works.

But before you jump to read the interview link: you may want to get a peek at the style they've got planned and it's not what you think.

The series SHOULD look like this:

Eww, it's that newfangled teen titans/x-men evolution look.


They need to make more beast series :(

What they need to do is re-create the original series or something... recast it in HD like they did for the Original Star Trek series. I read 4 pages on that IGN article and NO ONE is enthusiastic about this at all. Catering to the younger audience... man, what does this generation know about the classic Transformers? They would have attracted a LOT more attention (with success) if they established a series with better art direction/style.

[Wildcat]

Bleh, lame style. Reminds me of too many other cartoons these days. Thumbs down.

[Advocate]

can you kill me now?

[bahn]

Not before we kill Cartoon Network!!! Move, move, move... there's idiots that need slaying.

[Da_Shocker]

OMFG! THat is jsut shit!

[Frogacuda]

This is a low point for humanity.

[Advocate]

Jazz is a motorcycle.

Kill me please.

BTW Pat Lee is awesome, but Don Figaroa is damn awesome too.

[Bruhaha69]

There was a point where I used to love Cartoon Network. What the fuck did they do to turn themselves into such an awful network? Their fucking shows and current lineups suck ass.

This looks and sounds horrendous.

Aye, I completely agree. I used to watch CN all the time in my youth. The way they've tumbled downhill lately is tragic. This just adds to the mess. :nuts:

[DarthArcturus]

yeah same here it use to be a great network. I think they need to make a classic cartoon channel.

There is one. It's called Boomerang. Used to be really awesome, like early CN. However, they've started porting a lot of CN-created crap onto it (What's New Scooby Doo? for example), but lately I've seen more older stuff. I hope that it doesn't become a wasteland...it's like watching CN fall all over again.

[Advocate]

I saw Boomerang once it was okay. Not great.

[shinjirod]

CN does have one great cartoon right now: ben 10

[Bruhaha69]

I tried watching Ben 10 but couldn't get into it. Maybe I didn't give it a fair shake. It's too tough to watch cartoon network with all the other garbage on there.

[shinjirod]

youtube em! :p

[Hunter]

Pfft, the only good show on CN is Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. Probably the best cartoon on TV right now.

[Advocate]

Venture Bros. says hi.

Also ... CN is still around?

[Hunter]

:alexkidd: *runs away*

[Specineff]

I like Ben10 because the grandpa is voiced by good ol' Colonel Cambpell. I expect him to go "What's the situation, Snake?" at any moment.

Foster's is cool, too.

But... this???? Haven't they learned anything from Looney Tunes Xtreme?

[Advocate]

that actually came out?

[shinjirod]

yeah and its shit.

fosters is good too. And adult swim still has soem of the best animation ever made.

[Advocate]

Thank god I don't want CN anymore.

I use youtube to watch Venture Bros.

[Hunter]

Advocate, I know you hate nay suggestion I make, ever, but you really should give fosters a shot. ;)

[Advocate]

I WILL, BUT I DESPISE CN. After the butchery of Naruto. I refuse to even pass by the channel. Thank god Comcast has the guide feature and I can just 10 channel skip past it.

AND when SeaLab was cancelled. I will never forgive them. FUCK CN. FUCK THEM IN THE ASS AND MAKE THEM HUMBLE.

[shinjirod]

all series eventually end dude, its how life on the media works. just watch em over and over again, like i do with it and space ghost, coast to coast.

[Da_Shocker]

CN sucks big time. I be lookin for old classic cartoons and can't find anything. Oh BTW this new revamped Batman: TAS is getting a bit overboard. I think companies like that syle because it's so simplistic and easy to use.

[Bruhaha69]

I miss Samurai Jack and really wish Justice League continued on.

[shinjirod]

They moved most of the old ones to boomerang.

[Hunter]

DUCK DODGERS IN THE 24th and a HALF CENTURYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

[Advocate]

Yes, but shinji ... they disgraced the Ninja's with that travesty called Naruto. In my second homeland ... the japanese one is far superior. This lame one translated by Viz ... sucks shit.

**ninja vanish**

[Mister_Saturn]

They're trying to make hardcore stuff kiddy friendly ( i.e. Naruto, One Piece, and the like ). Although, discussing about Naruto ( ninjas ) and One Piece ( pirates ), and what CN/Funimation did to them, might also be thrown into another thread around here. Anyways, I hope Naruto Shippuden, if aired, would come via Adult Swim, as the stories there are a bit more harsh than the original series.

Anyways, one of my fav. online comics had something to say, or draw, in this case.

[Luminous]

I just read the article on IGN and almost vomited. Blech. That new Transformers series looks like crap.

Bahn is right, just remake the original.

[shinjirod]

**ninja vanish**

because dub actors in US are shit.

[Advocate]

And they cut Naruto killing people.

[shinjirod]

coz naruto is kiddier than harry potter!

[Mister_Saturn]

Yeah, it starts out that way, but gets grittier from there, as the series goes on... until the anime-only fillers after a certain arc, then the kiddieness comes back.

Jap's the best, until the fillers, then Shippuden returns to reign supreme.

[Advocate]

Naruto is hardcore ...

Military.

[Celebrant]

I don't even know if Harry Potter can be considered to kiddy anymore... it's more in the teenage range. She's killing people off left and right in those books.

New Info about the show ...

Hunter will like it ... (http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10997&f_start=40&f_cat=5)



Return to character development and story telling similar to BW.


BW = Beast Wars.

[Specineff]

Worked very closely with Cartoon Network.



There you have it. *runs away*

Mayhaps, I just despise that animation style SO much. On the other hand, the writing for BW was superb. Im kind of torn. Maybe if I watch it with my eyes closed?
