Brief Footage of Transformers Prime

Whats going on with Primes mouth? Whole area looks detail free.

I'm absolutely stunned and more than disappointed if that is the look they chose to go with for Prime in this new series. I know it is silly to base my entire judgement off of just a brief clip but if that is what they chose to place in their clip for a representation of Optimus, these guys have truly screwed the pooch on this new series. I'll take Animated over this any day.

Oh wow, looks like iRobot stole Prime's helmet.

You're right.

It is silly.

Guys, calm down. The video quality is pretty low, and the actual series will probably look a lot different. Don't worry, be happy.

Hard to see much, but I love the metal texture, and as long as he gets a facemask it should be pretty good.

I wish I would have paid more attention to it on TV, now let's just hope we get a higher quality (and higher sound) video on Youtube soon. From what I saw, it still looks very rough, better than the last clip, but still rough. The most noticable is Prime's face, but the rest does too.
I'm happy it wasn't more Bumblebee though, he's getting way too much screentime, considering the others have got a few seconds to no time to be featured.

Prime's gone for BOTOX. Me no likey.

God, this is getting ridiculous... Optimus has had a mouth for the past 4-5 years now. I mean, Master Chief doesn't have a mouth (well, technically he does, but you know what I mean), and everyone's content with that. Drop. The. Dang. Mouth. Bit. Already.

Oh that's Prime, damn the first 3 times I thought that was Sidewsipe.

Oh well I got used to Movie and Animated Prime's mouth.

Looks Awesome!I love it!

I really like how solid this looks.

Hmm.. not a big fan of the style they chose. Prime's whole face, not just his mouth, seems to be blank, smooth and featureless. Like a stereotypical alien wearing a Prime helmet.

Actually Botox might help, it looks like someone tore off his face leaving just eyes and a mouth slit.

OPTIMUS LOOKS LIKE ASS! It was cool in the movies and Animated to give him a mouth, but here, dear God! He litterally looks like putrid ass!

Literally?

video doesn't show up on my PC anybody know if it's on youtube

And the fans thought Movie Prime's mouth was bad...

garbage

I really hate Prime with a mouth. I can understand it for the movies but for a cartoon. I just really hate that. Give him a damn face plate.

the mouth looks terrible wow. its like he has the faceplate on but then there's a tiny little hole in the middle that bends to form his mouth. lol if they were that intent on keeping the mouth angle, they should have just done like the movies or Animated and gave him a proper one. this just looks weeeeird.

anyway i do hope to hear news about whether or not this airs in canada. we STILL havent had the new Futurama season and its coming on dvd/blu in december. lol

i think the combination of animated with movie-verse makes it interesting besides
we need to keep the franchise alive for as long as possible so any cool new idea is
very much needed for all fans and for those who do nothing but complain about anything
that is different, fear change. that is what transformers is all about the ability to
evolve and change into new ideas

judging from the comments Prime looks like crap so maybe I don't want to see the video after all

It's not like it's crap, just his mouth is. Other than his more open-slit-than-mouth-that-can-move, he's relatively awesome, along with his team. Also, is that Bulkhead I spy in the background? Sure looks like him. If it is, was it reported in the news section, and I just somehow missed it?

Wow that's deep for an animated cartoon about alien robots.

I happen to agree 100%, by the way.

I'm getting the feeling that the animation for this is being seriously rushed.

I know this show is going to be bad. But I'm caring less and less as time goes on, since I realize this is only going to last half a year anyway.

The only hopes I had for this was the animation, but that was just me rooting for Digitalscape because they did Metal Gear Solid 4.

I'm not sure how anyone can get a determination of what anything looks like on the show based on that teeny tiny little clip! I'm not gonna hate/like anything until I see the real thing!

It's not the mouth that looks awful, but the whole detail-less face! One end of the spectrum was the skull-like heads that Guido drew, but this is the other. What was wrong with classic details?

The last rushed series was Armada...
Ohh... Primus no... Please!!
Why couldn't they just stick with Animated? Well, I know why, but... WHY?!!?

Oh, and the G1 commercial was... interesting. I wasn't expecting copy machines, and Batman was a surprise to me, I thought it was only G1 and G.I. Joe.

Giving Optimus a mouth is like giving Megatron boobs. It just doesn't work.

now now, if you don't take a sunnier outlook on the new shows, japan will make a new series. and i KNOW nobody wants that

besides, i remeber all the hate over animated, and at least IMO, was damn good.

So far, this has made Animated's art style look appetizing in comparison, which is something I never thought I'd say. It's like the art styles only get worse after each series.

For all I know the writing could be comparable to Shakespeare, but the style they chose to go for turns me away!

By the way, I hate Shakespeare.

Apparently Prime now suffers from L.O.N.S. (Lack of nose syndrome)

Op-op-optimus Primal? Is that you?

Ugh, eesh...Definitely not for me.

Movie Prime.




Erm, yea, why go with nothing for a face? Not even hints of the movie parts like Bee got?
I'm feeling a bit sad about this series. Hope it turns out ok.

It would be REALLY sad that the 3D show we got more than a decade later than the first in the franchise actually turned out worse, in we-know-not-how-many-ways.
Is it possible the rise in technology and the show's quality are inversely related? :S

still haven't seen the video so my opinion hasn't altered at all I'll judge it after the first episode like I do with pretty much every TV show

I think you might mean Don.

BWAAAHAHAAAHAHA!

Wait, did that get tried?!

Good lord, don't give them ideas like that!!!!

Wow that looks really bad. What the hell did they do to Prime.

While I've alway hated lips on my Primes, the detail-less face is somewhat disturbing. I won't be judging the entire show on the look of Primes face though...

I'm still optimistically skeptical.

Calm down before freaking out. Animated looked "weird" at first, but then it grew on many of us. Still, botox-prime is kinda bizarre.
