Transformers Armada - Primeiro Encontro

I was shocked to see how bad reviews this got. I thought that this show was amazing! It was the favorite cartoon show that i watched when i was younger. It had an intriguing story. The last episodes when their in space were epic. It had scenes that almost made me cry when i was younger. I just recently re watched it and it was still amazing. And i get why some people hate it; The voice acting is kinda cheesy and the sound effects really weren't there. But overall the story is one of the best, and it's my favorite transformers cartoon show (untill i finish watching G1) You can argue that this doesn't deserve 10/10, but i find this show excellent and fun.

The new designs are pretty good, especially Optimus Prime's updated design and, overall, the actual look and art design seems better than that of the original cartoon. Problem is, there's very little action and every excuse possible to show as little animation as possible is fully exploited. Also, the annoying kids are shown more than the robots and the dialogue is as bad as in that other cartoon (the one shown on Fox Kids). Yeah, this show is for kids but so was the G1 cartoon and that one didn't talk down to its audience.

I saw the transformers armada show that was shown on toonami and i have to say it isn't that bad! We got to realize that the original is always going to be the best nothing can beat it! I know that transformers armada is not what i expected it to be sure they had mistakes in the show so there were mistakes in Generation 1 Transformers. The stories for transformers was always the same the autobots versus the decepticons it is sad that now these other New Generation Transformers are not as good as the original, but hey it was all mean for a kids audience. So what you expect for armada a kiddy like story what they really need to do on toonami is show some of those awesome japanese transformers shows over here. Transformers masterforce is pretty nice from what i seen and also transformers victory and transformers zone! I am sure these transformers wouldn't disappoint transformers fans out there so don't be so hard on armada we should give it a chance at least it's not as stupid and corny as Transformers Robots in Disguise.

Listen, Transformers Armada is actually interesting! Those old Transformers shows were like, way too hard to follow, and could get confusing! But Armada is definetly, by far, the best show yet!

You people say it's nothing like the original...well, it is! There's some returning charecters, and the plot is basically the same....attacking the Decepticons. What, is that too hard for you guys to follow?

Finally, it does not look like Scooby Doo. That's got to be the dumbest show I've ever seen, and Armada is one of the best. The voices are good, as well as the animation, and it's an awesome show. I reccomend it to anyone that likes Transformers, or even gundams or zoids!

Rock on, Transformers!

Transformers: Armada had all the makings for one of the best versions of Transformers since G1. Unfortunately, Beast Wars still holds that torch (Though BW was still good).

First off, the animation is very clunky and not very good. I've seen episodes of the original Dexter's Laboratory that has better animation! The character designs, for the most part, are way too bulky (specifically Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream) and are not pleasing to the eye.

The plot itself is mind-numbingly stupid. Evidentally a race of miniature robots called Mini-Cons have been re-awakened on Earth, and now the Autobots and Decepticons are fighting for supremecy. Not only are the Mini-Cons crappy in the first place, they do not have any personalities whatsoever! They're just mindless drones except when the plot calls for it.

Even though this is the same cast that has been doing Transformers since Beast Wars, the VAs seem very uncomfortable. The acting is just cheesy and you don't feel for any of the characters, especially HotShot.

Though the upcoming Unicron battles are really quite good, it's just not enough to catapult this series above Beast Wars. Tanaka, the creator of Transformers, seems focused on selling to kiddies instead of making the actual product good. They need to hire a good director (such as the director of G Gundam) to take a new spin on the series.
