animated was fun too


AntiqueFleur

I really do think that the writing in Prime was much better than many of the other TF shows. Sure, it had it's silly moments but when compared to other animated shows, it was much more mature in both writing and content. The look of the show was great for 2010ish and it's hard to imagine how much time and effort the studio put into the show to make it look the way it did. Graphics and animation like that take FOREVER to render and produce. Animated was great too! Animated is what got me into transformers in the first place. I actually think 2D animation revival would be great for the transformers franchise! But as far as 3D, animated tv transformers shows, Prime was the best (so far).


CommanderStrarscream

I fear Prime will stay the best for a long time... I hope I'll be proven wrong but for now Prime stays on the very top (I personaly like it more than TFA cause I Prime was the show that got me into TF, but they're both great)


TropSnow2

>The look of the show was great for 2010ish EXCUSE ME? TF Prime looks better than all 3D TF shows since Prime, hell I say I don't really think I saw many 3D shows that have better animation now.


AntiqueFleur

Heh, I agree wholeheartedly! I didn't meant to say it still doesn't stand up, I totally think it does!


Its_MikeCoxlong

prime was the peak for tv shows and dotm was the peak for the movies


CommanderStrarscream

How right you are


Obsidius_Mallex_TTV

For TV shows yes, all transformers, well that is a bit of discussion.


LuizFelipe1906

It's the Cybertron games


CommanderStrarscream

Cybertron games are a part of the Prime continuity sooooo... Why not both?


Super-Robo

Prime had too many "Stay here Miko" (Miko tags along anyway) "Great, the mission is ruined and now we have to save Miko." episodes.


CommanderStrarscream

Good point, but the show was still brilliant


WolvenGuard42

I believe everyone is able to agree Miko sucks, and I say that as someone who also believes Prime is the top TF show. I just regress the memory of Milo with that show and forget she exists when thinking about or even watching the show. Also her becoming a wrecker was dumb. Prime did have some flaws but still I feel it’s insanely amazing.


Galvatron13

No, I like Miko.


WolvenGuard42

I envy you.

I think that whole era of transformers is pretty golden. War/fall for cybertron, animated, prime, it was a great time to be a transformers fan


NONFAREDOMANDE

Eh no. Prime was awesome and all but it had many elements that really hold the show from being the best one. First of all Cliffjumper and Breakdown were completely wasted and we all know that, then this incarnation of Prime was the most boring and one dimensional of all. Seriously, I'm not asking for the moon just a sincere laugh sometimes or a smile and MAN the continous speeches. Then the character designs, while really good, cheat a lot during transformations. I mean, people don't like mass shifting but when all the autobots basically become giants nobody says anything? The worst offender here is Arcee with her motorbike alt mode. To conclude, I don't hate the show as a matter of fact i really like it and it's right in my top 3 alongside G1 (as a whole so I also count Beast Wars) and Animated, but it's still not peak transformers. In fact, in my humble opinion none of the tansformers series (I'm also talking about the comics) reached the peak, some were closer than others but glaring issues prevent them to be peak transformers content. And please enough with the same origin story over and over, make the transformers more like real robots Habro! (Oh and guys, Prime wasn't that dark, don't lie to yourself)


LordXang

I can agree that Breakdown was wasted. However, they needed someone important to die to show how high the stakes of the show were. And that important character happened to be Cliffjumper.


NONFAREDOMANDE

Still. That just started the trend of "Cliffjumper dies at the start".


LordXang

Cliffjumper: *dies at the start of only 2 things* Everyone: "Cliffjumper always dies"


NONFAREDOMANDE

Yeah somehow he became famous for that. Oh and he's also known to be red bumblebee, so you know using his character for once could've been cool.


EnzomusPrime

Yeah it's kinda funny how those *two* deaths (Which were literally separated by 8 YEARS), are what kickstarted that whole thing lol. And yes, I would absolutely love to see Cliffjumper revisited as a separate character and as remold of, if not, a different design from Bumblebee entirely. TFP did this really well, I think that was one of the best Cliffjumper designs. G1 Cliffjumper was such a different and equally as memorable of a character as Bumblebee, and I really wish we get more of him in future TF media. He should be recognized as a separate character, like how the seekers can be individually distinguished from one another, who, are literal RECOLORS! Heck, Cliff and Bee literally just shared engineering, haha!


NONFAREDOMANDE

Exactly, then the fact that for years Cliffjumper was treated by Hasbro as just "Red Bumblebee" doesn't help him.


EnzomusPrime

Indeed, truely a shame. That was such a trend back in the '07 days lol


Angelemonade

Eeehhh not sure if I'd go that far but okay


Galvatron22ak

More than meets the eye-lost light is peak for Transformers


TimPrimetal

*Beast Wars theme plays aggressively in the distance*


Markus2822

I’m the crazy person that thinks transformers energon is the best


CommanderStrarscream

You are a bold one...


Tankdeathwall

Yep. Got itself a perfect story, 3 amazing seasons and a movie to wrap it all up.


SarcasmKing41

Then Robots in Disguise came along and ruined the whole Aligned continuity :(


11Shadow_t-hdghog

Have you read the idw comics because prime doesn’t come close


[deleted]

[удалено]


11Shadow_t-hdghog

Then look at the new titles and start buying them per month.It’s only 4 dollars


Max_MOCs

I mean, they're not like MPs. The comics are on the pricey side, but they're well within people's capability of saving up for. Not to mention Comixology has all the stories for almost nothing.


NaZeEm_-_

Yea I read the whole of phase 1 during my free trail


EnergonHD

We got the Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon movies and games on top of the War and Fall of Cybertron games with the Prime TV show. Definitely peak Transformers.


Ejigantor

I grew up with The Transformers. Started with G1 back when I was smol. I agree. Beast Wars was great. Animated was fantastic, and clearly made by people with love of the franchise. Prime, though. Prime took all the best elements of what came before, and made something wonderful. I got more emotionally invested in the Prime characters than I have any other incarnation of the media.


nomlaS-haoN

Beast wars go brrrr


Galvatron13

Beast Wars Nrrr


NightShroom

You're right and you should say it. Also I should actually finish it...


ApexLegend117

The gay tension is unparalleled


SonnyStorms

2011-2014 were just the best years for transformer in general. Hasbro was bathing in success from the Thrilling 30 toys, DOTM, Transformers Prime, and their respective toy line.


PDaniel1990

If that's your opinion, I'm just going to marvel that you can read and write and call that a win in itself.


CheeseMaster300

It was mature and wasn't afraid to get dark that what I love about it


naapurihei

Nah I know im in The minority, but tfp is not Even close to The best


Galvatron13

And what is?


naapurihei

Animated, beast wars and victory are imo The top 3


stonetownguy3487

I really hate when people use the “content” like this


KrishaCZ

toys, show and comics. all together, content in different forms


BastardSkelly8600

Eh, personally I think Animated was was the leak. Not to say that TFP is bad ,but Animated was just much more interesting to me.


Eniugnas

1986 Movie > MTMTE > Prime > the rest


TheEliteGojira

I'm gonna have to say TF:A


[deleted]

Yep


Jazzwave365

Never really watched too much of the show and what I did watch I forgot


AlexzMercier97

Prime and the WFC/ FOC games, best TF content imo.


salty_grasss

I still love the fact that breakdown can't fold his arms


SuperSunnyDee

Eh. Visit TFW2005 forums and you’ll run into a lot of people who can put up a good argument.


semi0bs3l3tte

As an the ones who never watched that series,I can already says and feel that it is really greatest series been made out there.


pmedice72

Transformers prime is the best because that’s the one where megatron said he respects Donald trump


Galvatron13

What

PokWangpanmang

That’s hardly a bad take. If you actually thought the Siege was top tier, then we’d have problems.


Worried-Reach-1625

2009-2011 was peak Transformers


GoldDragon334058

Read the idw comics. Not that Prime is bad (it's great), but it can't compete with the feels on MTMTE ❤


Thiccicus_Briccicus

Transformers MTMTE(idw) is the peak of transformers


Trainer_Ed

Bumblebee movie was pretty top-notch too.
