transformers siege looked better than this

[@user-un1uo9mt9q]

@@TACTIK00L PFFFFT! Don't be such a silly, Siege (And the whole WFC cartoon as a whole) was nothing more than a cash-grab reboot for edgy goths who have never watched anything Transformers related before. In fact, the animation on that show wasn't even that good, the whole thing looked more like an episode of Ninjago.

[@morgandavis4012]

@@universalflamethrower6342 your heart is in the right place. But for every fan made masterwork there are dozens of campy and weird things that should not leave the anals of internet history and don't need the Hasbro rubber stamp of approval.

[@19zach75]

As a lifelong, die hard Transformers fan, I will say this: whenever a new/updated version of a Transformers series is released, the very first thing I examine is the animation style. This is, by far, the best original reimagining/updated G1-2 iteration I've ever seen. This is perfect in every sense and aspect of the Transformers. Hasbro is missing out on a golden opportunity. This would definitely be a success in the forms of a new Transformers animated film, and series. I also saw the one about "Starscream" and that too was a masterpiece.

[@lammanhin6391]

Oh wow, this is perfect! All the characters are still themselves while re-enacting Akira! I love how Wreck Gar still retains his iconic voice while acting as the famous bike! This scene was badass too, with Hot Rod slashing out Motormaster's tires on Wreck Gar!

[@finnballinger5791]

I love how the animation models are based off the figures

[@Spiked_Energy_19]

This and the Starscream OVA are by far the best fan-made Transformers animations I have seen yet! I love how it looks and feels like the 80s show yet you can tell that a large amount of effort was put into these because the animation (especially for the fight scenes), voice acting, and sound effects are all very crisp! It would be cool if Autobot Punch/Counterpunch maybe got a share in the spotlight in one of your future animations because he has such a cool concept of being a double agent and has only really had a major appearance in the Headmasters show and a few select comics. But all can truly say about these animations is thank you for making them!!!!

Oh my god. Please make the next series for Hasbro. This is stunning and pretty much how I dreamt G1 could look! Could you remake an episode and put the original audio over the top? This is stunning.

[@tylertichoc7330]

Now I know that this looks crazy that a Cybertronian would be riding around on a vehicle other than a spaceship. But to be fair, Minicons, Omega Sentinels, and Titans have always been a thing. Plus their entire planet is literally their sentient creator deity so yeah, there's that too. Now what I'd really like to see them Explore is some brand new Characters that have both Vehicle and Organic creature based alternate modes. Say what you want about 2015's Robots in disguise, but one of the things I definitely liked was the many different animalistic Cybertronians. Some of them were more humanoid than others like Steeljaw yet from an Evolutionary standpoint of how they resemble all different forms of life from across the Galaxy actually makes sense. I especially like the idea of Cybertronians like Crazy Bolt and the different Bat Decepticons that had different skills and abilities that relate to real world animals and even different sub species. Like a Vampire Bat draining Energon compared to smaller forest dwelling bat that spreads a Computer Virus like how real world bats are known for doing. And it's something I definitely want them to expand upon in the future. Like what if a Cybertronian evolved based on a species based in a low Gravity enviroment? Or on that evolved based on resistance to high levels of Radiation or Acidity? What would happen if they Transformed based on a long since extinct creature like the dinobots? Would that be different to them Transforming into a critically endangered species or would they choose to scan something else in order to adapt. Would there be a limit to how many organic alt modes that could scan and transform into over their lifetime? Or would they just simply be able to completely overwrite an older species? I love all the potential for this kinda stuff and it's uses for lore. Especially if certain mutations or altering of genetic code were involved.

this is after everyone became action masters unfortunately motormaster and wreck gar were in alt mode then they became action masters
