Transformers Armada - Primeiro Encontro

Being an "old school" Transfan (having watched the G1 series when it aired Sunday mornings), I viewed Armada with anticipation, and also a little trepidation. Let's face it, the years have not been kind to the Transformers. Whether it's the toys (remember G2 toys... sneeze and they shatter?) or the cartoons (Robots in disguise... ick), Transfans as of late have been getting the short end of the stick.

All that has changed.

Armada is a very good successor to the original series of Transformers. Optimus Prime behaves more like Optimus (and he's a semi-rig again!), Megatron is terrifying again, and Starscream is a toadying sycophant again. Admittedly, the minicons and the kids on the show are a minor turnoff, but unfortunately, that's the style of anime today. No kids, no cartoon, unfortunately. Thankfully, Armada handles the situation -much- better than Robots in Disguise, where the children (and, sadly, the Transformers themselves) are more annoying than a microfly in your transistor housing.

No, it isn't perfect. But it IS good. The animation beats out any of the 3D Beast-fill-in-the-blank cartoons (3D animation is still in its infancy, and currently is vastly overrated), and assuredly Robots in Disguise. With this on the air, I can once again look forward to quality Transformers programming.

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!

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 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.

In my opinion I didn't think Transformers: Armada wasn't that bad. I thought it was good. This was the first Transformers series I watched and I literally grew up with it. To me Transformers: Armada was sometimes emotional, heart pounding, and dramatic. I really like this show so much that I wanted to buy the DVD.

So to all haters out there at least give this a chance for goodness sake. I think this was the best series c'mon at least they brought back some G1 characters.

If you hate what I wrote then fine but watch Transformers: Armada give it a try. I gave it try when I first watched it.
