Transformers (Animated)

The Transformers: The Movie [30th Anniversary Edition] - Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube

For Transformers the Movie from the 80s, animated, the drawings are great as hoped, but the animation is no better than the TV series most of the film, with the exception of more characters onscreen at one time and more shading. It seems like they rushed through the project with a minimal budget. Or spent most of the budget on guest star voices like Nemoy.

For the story, I'm a big fan of Generation 1 seasons 1 and 2 classic, but they absolutely have a disrespect for how tough the Autobots have been throughout those first 2 seasons, because the writers in the film quickly

[Show spoiler]killed them off in standard laser fights, destroying the best heroes to replace them with the new toys for the shelves, is the angle I bet they were going for. Those shots would normally not kill an Autobot or even Decepticon. Not good, make them go through a major blast where the ship is engulfed in flames or something.

Not a simple laser blast. That's my main criticism of the film despite its good points.

Thanks.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be released theatrically in 2023 and is the first of three new installments. A new animated series from @Nickelodeon arrives this fall. And in 2024, the franchise expands further with a CG animated Transformers theatrical film. #ParamountPlus pic.twitter.com/4FKsliX2Hp

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will release theatrically on June 9, 2023, a date that was already known. However, it will be the first of three in a planned trilogy. Paramount, however, did not speak about these other two installments.

Hopefully it's decent. Looks like they're going all CGI style.

The visual style and character design can also make a huge difference for any upcoming Transformers series or animated film.
The classic series and classic The Movie style were the best IMO, well drawn and not trying to be too fancy or slick.

There is one animated series that looks so awful in terms of design style, called "Transformers Animated", I don't even want to see what it's about. The characters are way too exaggerated with the lines IMO. They totally missed the point of robots. Not a fan at all of that over-exaggeration for robots. The art is there, but not right for Transformers at all.
