The New Transformers Cartoon

Honestly, it doesn't look that bad except for the head. Furthermore, we don't really know what stage of the production that art is from. The first animated Teen Titans we saw ended up being significantly different (for the better) from the final versions.
 
I've never really looked to Transformers (barring Beast Wars) as having legit animation. The first Transformers series is by far one of the sloppiest cartoons of all time. I'm not just ragging on it for getting some wrong colors here and there. I mean, there were off-scale models, bizzare animations, sloppy edits, overused scenes, and lots of issues with timing.
 
Wait, wasn't the Transformers Hero series suppose to come this fall to CN, not 2008? I remember there was a post about that awhile back that said it'd be coming fall 2007, not March or September 2008. Either way it dosen't look terribly awful. More like Transformers given the Teen Titans treatment, which isn't really too bad. I'd worry more about the plot of the show at this point then the art since even if it looks like Transformers, dosen't mean it will write like Transformers nowadays (you better prove me wrong Michael Bay. You better).
 
just when I had faith in a great TF series, this steaming pile comes along. While I'd say wait til the final designs are released, given how soon '08 is coming this could very well be the final design. Of course this might be a very old image that found it ways onto the announcement (please be the case)

too bad about the stand-alone format. TF would've worked best in season arcs. If kids can follow along w/ Avatar, they should have enough attention span and memory retention to keep up w/ TF.
 
And people complained about the movie designs...

As per usual I'll hold my judgment until I see it in action. I don't mind the Barbie proportions, really, it's that hideous head that irks me. I hope they fix that.
 
Funny I Transformers G1 has to my favorite animation style of all time. I do admit that it also has to be the most sloppiest animated cartoon of all time as well. But when it was done right it was a work of art.
I know that I said this about Teen Titians and Shaggy Scooby Doo get a clue but this time I'm keeping my promise. I will not watch this mess in protest. I won't even give it a chance to see what it is about.
 
Kamen Rider! Whoops, got distracted.

Honestly, I have a feeling that this might be like Teen Titans, which looked ugly as hell from the original promo image but animated great and had much more personality than I would have thought. And considering how little I liked the original cartoon (though I respect the franchise), any infusion of personality would be welcome.
 
So wait, is this going to be American-made instead of an anime dub? At least that means there's the possibility of being better than those, bad designs or not.
