I can't wait to watch the episodes on youtype or cartoon network site because it's only on cable and I got AIR!!!

Same here. My brother's house has cable though... maybe I could watch some there.

We don't know yet-- the only news that has been let out regarding Animated in the UK is that it's NOT going to be on Cartoon Network UK, which is really odd since Animated is being internally produced by Cartoon Network studios. And since we still don't know, I wouldn't count on it premiering over there for a while. Whenever news of Animated's premiere in the UK DOES come out, I'll try to remember to post it here.

Detailed character art and bios can be found at Unicron.com, and are especially good at detailing the characters' motivations and feelings. Megatron's and Blackarachnia's are particularly interesting, though Megatron's contains some pretty big spoilers (Megatron seems to be a lot like BW Megatron in his motivations):

I still cannot get over Starscream's chin! It makes him look too funny to take seriously. Maybe if they got rid of it....

Yeah, I do have to admit I'm not too fond of the humongously oversized chins on some of the 'bots. Prowl and Sentinel Prime have it particularly bad, too...

EHHHH

Really not too impressed with the level of animation. Though I am glad its not a pure G1 ripoff, the animation is...well...off.

Then again, animation does not a show make,. In most cases anyway. Hopefully this isn't one of those cases. I'll have to see this for myself to truly judge it. People were doubtful of "Prime" being a gorilla when Beast Wars was first proposed after all, yet now Beast Wars is often one of the highest-ranked transformers series ever.

you're right about that veloci. I read somewhere (Wikipedia) that Beast Wars won an emmy or something.

won an emmy?

Beastbot · Unread post by **Beastbot** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 10:19 pm

An emmy for computer graphics in a television program, I believe.

I have this clip for download at PredaconEmpire.com on the Main page.

Transformers.com has up the official TF: Animated website, with some nice character bios and pictures:

And at their "TV" site, MonkeybarTV, you can view the official opening to the show, which shows our first real glimpse of Megatron's Earth mode, an osprey helicopter (scroll down to "Transformers Animated Intro Part 1"):

Beastbot · Unread post by **Beastbot** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 2:16 pm

A bit of an update for you Canadians out there: YTV's website now indicates that Animated will premiere on January 12 at 9:30 AM E/P, not January 1st as was previously indicated.

Rainshade · Unread post by **Rainshade** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 8:33 pm
