Prettiest bot from each TF show I watched

Disclaimer: Does not include comics, Unicron Trilogy, Beast Wars Neo or Rescue Bots (+ RBA)

Just me showing who I think is the prettiest transformer of each show, SAY GO!

G1

Cyclonus. He’s just total babe. Look at him, he has eyebrows and he has eye shadow ~ No I don’t care that it’s an animation error 

Headmasters 

You’d think with Cyc still being in this show that he’d still be the prettiest, but I deny his existence, so for this show I’ll go with Pointblank ~  I like the form of his face :D 

Masterforce

Aw, Metalhawk is just super sweet! >w< Look at him! Wish he’d be more in his robot form in this show! 

Victory

As much as I love my teal kitty, I actually have to go with Blacker here, the red of his helm just really vibes with his blue eyes and white face :3

Transformers Cyberverse

Hey guys im watching the new transformers cartoon and there’s a LOT of negativity im about to spit out. I’m six episodes in and am feeling a level of frustration and dislike I haven’t felt about a show in a very long time. I do NOT like this show. It is bad. I’m not going to go into detail here, its all under the cut. 

Okay so lets start with the art style. This is probably the most subjective of my issues with this fucking show, I do not particularly enjoy this ‘super brightly colored 3D’ animation. Its just lame. It looks ugly. It looks cheap. The designs are mediocre and just a hodgepodge of previous iterations. They do nothing interesting, nothing fun, nothing creative. There’s a lot of ‘copy/paste’ going on among the unnamed characters. I’m watching a scene and like two identical red bots show up back to back that are supposed to be different bots but... they looked IDENTICAL. That’s just lazy. If there’s one thing that NONE of the shows, aside from G1, managed to do, it was make everyone and everything unique in some way. They’re CLEARLY pulling from the comics, and like.... no ones supposed to look/sound/be the same, except for when its plot relevant. Like that one bot that modeled themselves to look like optimus prime, and the one that sounds EXACTLY like Megatron, or the seekers that were all retrofitted to look like one another. What the fuck is up with this homogeneous garbage? And THEN there’s a scene where MEgatron is preaching to a crowd and there’s like, twenty bots in there. There’s all this empty space. The backgrounds are less bright and interesting to look at than the characters, so when there’s all this empty space and all you can look at is the backgrounds and the backgrounds suck? God. 

Next is the voice acting and the writing. Its bad. You can tell that A) none of the voice actors are in the same room bouncing off of one another, that’s for sure. That’s fine sometimes though. It works. It doesn’t work here. The dialogue is stilted and boring. The writing is uninspired. In the first episode Windblade and Bumblebee, both characters we don’t know, have some of their first dialogue together. Windblade asks “Bee what are you doing here” and Bee does some voice-box shenanigans (he can’t speak AGAIN, but whatever) and says “What are YOU doing here,” and Windblade’s response, verbatim is “The same thing you are: looking for the allspark.”  What fucking garbage is that? That’s objectively bad writing. There are scenes where the actors deliver their lines like they’re reading from the script right in front of them, did it in one take, and then didn’t bother trying anything else. 

And then we’ve got optimus and megatron, who sound like people are doing impressions of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker doing their voices, but are not good at impressions OR acting. And you know who they got to play two of the most iconic transformers characters in existence? Nobodies. Optimus’ voice actor has done NOTHING else, and megatron’s va is most known for playing pokemon characters and a bunch of miscellaneous yugioh/anime dub characters, and we ALL know how good those usually are. To be fair he also did Casey Jones from the TMNT show before TMNT 2012, and i never watched that so idk how good he is here, but his megatron is lame. Bumblebee, main character, has done nothing before this. Windblade, main character, has done nothing before this.  I don’t have ANY problems with new talent getting out there, but these are rookies and it SHOWS. 

Then there’s the actual plots. Well, guess what, the plots suck. Bumblebee and Windblade are wandering around on Earth cuz the allspark is here (wow that’s original) and BUmblee can’t speak (wow that’s original) and Bumblebee has amnesia (wow THAT”S ORIGINAL). So the last few episodes have been WIndblade using her Cityspeaker powers to link with Bumblebee’s mind and try and get him to remember where the Ark (lost Autobot spaceship with everyone on board in stasis, wow that’s original) is, so they can find Optimus Prime (wow that’s original), while avoiding the Seekers that apparently own Earth or whatever. And then, in episode 8, they give us a serious triple whammy of stupid. First, they let Bumblebee connect to his own memories so that he can work on them. HOW CAN HE DO THAT??? The whole point was that Windblade has special powers. Guess that doesn’t matter. Second, they introduce Blurr, give us three or four minutes of screentime, and then kill him off, like we’re supposed to care. All he’s done is be an asshole this hole time. Third, they introduce a rust virus consuming planets and apparently it consumes Velocitron. Why is this not a big deal? Why doesn’t everyone know about this? How does it work? Does it matter? You can’t just introduce a virus that can destroy worlds in hours and kills people almost instantly, with no repercussions. This better matter in the future. Its just bad and dumb. 

How can your seventh episode be a filler episode? We learn nothing about the characters, we just learn that A) Starscream’s always been an asshole and a thug, and B) some sport called Cube that’s poorly explained. What’s the point? We learn how Bee and Windblade become friends, I guess? And there’s this godawful line where Bee says “Man, Starscream’s a jerk. Those dang jets.” And then looks at WIndblade, who is a jet, and says “Wow, uh... you are a jet. Oops.” Like, pointing out that what he said was gross is cool and all, but couldn’t that have just been a glance, a quirked eyebrow from Windblade, and a wince from bumblebee. That would have been more amusing. 

Don’t get me started on the Megatron origin episode. We go from learning he was a hero because he was a gladiator, to thinking he’s a warmonger, to thinking he’s a monster in the span of about five minutes of screen time. You can’t just go “Megatron was a hero” without showing that somehow, then saying “No actually he was a brute” immediately after WITHOUT SHOWING ANYTHING? There’s this super brutal thing that happens off screen where Megatron tears out Bumblebee’s voice box so he can’t tell anyone his plans, and that’s supposed to matter somehow, like its not enough that he started a war for power and wants to create a planet of decepticons, he also hurt our friend bumblebee!!! But wait, we don’t care, because his damaged voice box doesn’t stop him from communicating, and the information can be relayed immediately by WIndblade’s special powers. So nothing matters here! 

That’s my biggest take away. Nothing matters. This show isn’t going to try and be pretty and cool with its visuals. Its not going to try and put in great performances by a crew of new voice talent. Its not going to try and tell a more nuanced version of the Transformers Lore that we’ve never seen outside of the comics. It doesn’t even matter that its on Earth because the first eight episodes have just been windblade and bee flying around in a stolen space ship. 

It doesn’t matter. Its empty and boring and i hate that it pisses me off this much, but as a fan of the story, as someone who wants to see new stories, it bothers me when stuff just gets rehashed, retold, and ‘reinvented’ into new forms of mediocre.
