Transformers: Robots in Disguise

Robots in Disguise should be a shame to the franchise as a whole. It is supposed to be a follow up series to the highly acclaimed Transformers Prime, but it failed miserably. As a stand alone series, it also struggles to justify itself. The plot is extremely silly and repetitive: there is a random animal-looking decepticon that is trying to make a mess in the nearby city, the autobots have to capture him, but one of them has to learn a lesson before doing so (a lesson that is gonna be forgotten in the next episode). This happens over and over again. The characters lack deepness and evolution, the main plot line (that holds viewers on the long run) is practically absent. This series survived from toys, nostalgia and fan-service. It is literally garbage.

I agree with the reviewers who rated this series one star. As a transformers fan, I enjoyed Transformers Prime and was excited to watch this show. But boy, was I wrong. I watched three episodes and stopped. This show is downright awful and the characters made it worst. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the only ones that carried over from Transformers Prime. The others are terrible. For the Autobots, there's slacker Sideswipe, an uptight femme bot Strongarm (who looks like a male) and an annoying minibot Fixit. On the Decepticons, there's Steeljaw and the others such as Thunderhoof and Springload are just butt ugly. The story line is corny and there's no mention of Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Airachnid. Overall, this show is terrible and too cartoony. If you're into Transformers Rescue Bots, this show is for you. Otherwise, avoid this series.

As many have already expressed, this serie is a bit of a step down from the previous one Supposed to be its sequel, it lack the depth and plot of its predecessor

But then, it's obvious that this was not made with the same aim in mind This is clearly a "villain of the week" type of serie, with each episode throwing out a new villain, with the aim of selling toys of them

Kids can easily appreciate the humours and there were some good moment, but I was very disappointed with how they handled the whole "sequel" thing

Barely any connection to the past serie, this could be considered standalone without problems, and it might actually be better off

Now I had mix feelings about Transformers:Robots In Disguise for a few reasons

1.It was on the Cartoon Network, a station I still have a bitter feeling to since they don't play any good shows anymore.

2.It was titled "Robots In Disguise" because we already had a Transformers from 2001 called Robots Ind Disguise even though it was a dub from Japan's Car Robots it's still the Principal If I had a voted I would have called it Transformers:Legacy since this series is a follow up to Transformers Prime.

But still once I set down to watch it, it still felt good to be a fan of Transformers. They said this series is suppose to target a younger crowd needless to say I believe this series is fit for all fans of the Transformers because it features a lot that fans have love about the series since 1984

This time the Autobots are Bumblebee, Sideswipe,Strongarm, Grimlock and Fixit with guest stars from Optimus Prime, Drift,Jetstorm Slipstream Windblade and Jazz

The Decepticons are Steeljaw, Underbite, Hammerstrike, Bisk, Chop Shop, Terrashock, Thunderhoof, Filch, Springload, Fracture, Airazor, Divebomb and too many more to count

While the first episode did take time for me to get use to I started to enjoy the series as each episode actually makes watching this series worth while.

It features a very well done cast of voice actors who give a entertaining voice performance in each episode. I like the animation style they have for this series it gives the series it's original work and that's not easy to do anymore in TV

Plus the plot for each episode is very creative and it does a lot to work for kids and adults that love Transformers

As a long time fan of Transformers I can say is this show is More Than Meets The Eye

A complete waste of time and a total let down after Transformers Prime. I died a little inside after watching episode 1, which was a struggle to complete. I have no plans to watch any of the other episodes as even watching this one episode was just too painful. My 9-year-old even hates it. He loved Prime, but he is totally disappointed in this one. I tried to like it, but it just isn't happening. Unless you want to be disappointed like us, I recommend you stay far away. Hopefully the creators will realize what they have done and bring back Prime. Bad CGI, horrible plot, and even worse character voice-overs. Total Disappointment. :(
