Okay, this is not the worst TFs series I have ever attempted watching. That honor goes to Energon. Followed by Beast Machines. Both were painful enough that I gave up after a couple episodes. But![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gatekat and femme4jack both squee'd about TFP tonight, reminding me that I had the entire series Tivo'd. So, fabric in lap, I started watching it while pinning and gathering.
It's derivative of the movie and steals energon crystals from BW. The humans are (1) Our Extremely Reluctant Hero, (2) The Japanese Fangirl (whose accent keeps slipping between Japanese and Spanish), and (3) The Pre-Teen Computer Genius. Oh, and (4) Token Government Guy Who Is Half Simmons And Half Galloway.
Are you guessing I'm not hooked on the series yet? Someone please tell me it gets better.
I will give the series props, though, for having a subtly treacherous Starscream.
But then there's the parts where it devolves intoPride and Prejudice Transformers and Zombies. And the characters draw their information out of thin air. The Decepticons having the precise aiming abilities of stormtroopers I can live with, that's traditional, but their sheer stupidity regarding the humans is inexcusable. Even the Autobots realize humans are easily destroyed; the Decepticons, somehow, didn't get that memo.
I suspect I'll continue watching it out of morbid curiosity, if nothing else. And to heckle about whether or not the characters have shadows.
And for Peter Cullen's voice acting. The man could make a grocery list sound profound.
