Featured reviews
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.
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!

- TriviaThis series marks the first time that the character of Unicron received a toy, and it soon became one of the most famous and popular figures in the entirety of the Transformers franchise. Unicron first appeared in La Guerre des robots: Transformers (1986), and although Hasbro originally wanted to make a toy out of him, the designs fell through. He remained toyless until the release of this series, 16 years later.
- GoofsIn the early episodes, Hot Shot is sometimes called Hot Rod. Later when Tidal Wave appears, he is sometimes called Shockwave. Mixing up the character's English and Japanese names was a fairly common mistake in the dub. Even Optimus Prime himself was occasionally referred to by his Japanese name, Convoy, and at one point even Optimus himself mistakenly used that name. Overload is also called by both his English and his Japanese name (Ultra Magnus) at different points.

Galvatron: I hope you realize you're playing a very dangerous game, Starscream.
Starscream: I've made my choice, Galvatron. There's only one path to survive Unicron, and that's to follow Optiumus.
Galvatron: Why you...
Optimus Prime: Stay out of this, Starscream. This is between Galvatron and me. Now just back away!
Starscream: I don't mean any disrespect, Optimus, but I'm not going anywhere.
Galvatron: You'll understand you'll pay for this. No one defies my command and gets away with it.
Starscream: Sorry. I don't work for you anymore. I've made up my mind to bring this to an end. And once all is said and done, Unicron will be destroyed and the universe will be at peace.
Galvatron: May I suggest that you have LOST your mind? I'll destroy you!
Starscream: Come and get a taste of my blade, Galvatron!
