Check out a quick fun video of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman taking you behind the scenes of Transformers Prime in preparation for tomorrow’s premiere!
As a reminder, the new Transformers television series from Hasbro and The Hub kicks off tomorrow night along with G.I. Joe Renegades right after! Get your leftovers ready and plant yourself in front of the Hub all day for some fanboy goodness. Video below. Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Yeah the tunnel scene definitely looked real in some parts. I think the motion blur helped a little with that too.

Clone Wars has better texturing because of it's stylistic choice. Everything looks like a real painted model.
However I must say that the scene in Prime where the Autobots are first bringing the humans to their base, the brief shot in the tunnel looks actually real.

I thought the same but I actually really enjoyed the show as a whole, these clips don't really do a good enough job of selling it.

The texturing on Prime is better than CW…. but I acknowledge that Clone War's texturing is a stylistic choice. And you know what? It doesn't matter. I'm just glad that TF is getting that much of a treatment, even if it's slightly comparable to something as cool as CW.

Why, certainly, the more people watching this and discussing it the merrier!
I'm just sayan', from at least what I've seen until now, Prime's CGI is the best i've seen on TV outside of Clone Wars.
Prowl
I'm just messin with Mega. I totally respect his opinion, even if I do want him to watch it still . I do think the CG is up there with Clone Wars though, especially some of the backdrops.
MegaMoonMan
I don't even get the channel it's on, so I'll have to pass. I'd DVR it and give it a chance, but as it is now I've already got too many shows on the download to fit this in.
The show means nothing to me when it comes to the toys anyway. I'll more than likely grab the whole line, regardless of the show being crap or not.
Prowl
Watch it. Just for a little while. Hence, we can have a fun discussion on it. Avoid the 4th nipple, bra!
shroobmaster
It does? I haven't seen better CGI outside of Clone Wars myself.
TV-Wise that is.
MegaMoonMan
I doubt it. It's not even hate, it's complete indifference. It just looks generic and boring to me.
Prowl
Don't hate, Mega. Otherwise you'll grow a 4th nipple.
MegaMoonMan
That is some pretty awful and generic CGI. Not feeling the need to watch this show at all.

Save that for the movie, this has to be good.
Bahaahahaha

If I'm not mistaken, these guys are also involved in the Hawaii 5-0 remake.
If you haven't seen it yet, or dismiss it as Grace Park fan service, you're missing out.
Action TV hasn't been this much fun since the A-Team, they've really got something going with it.
(now if only they'd flesh out Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park's characters a little bit more.)
Also since EVERYONE noticed the "save it for the movies" line, and one person noticed "she didn't wash her hands (in the MEN'S room no less)" and another person noticed "can you guys do the robot?" I'm only going to add,,,
",,,we're getting paid for this, right?"

I just realized, shouldn't I get a news credit for this?

These Autobots just don't seem to know much about human culture. Bulkhead tells Miko to look away? Have they seen our movies and the level of blood and gore featured in them? I could see Miko bringing the Autobots a DVD of "Machete" in January when it comes out. She'd be like, "Machete, coolest movie ever!" And Jack would be like, "Yeah, Machete is awesome! Of course I had to sneek into the movie theatre to see it because I wasn't old enough." After the first five minutes into it, all the Autobots, except maybe Cliffjumper (assuming he comes back) would either run for their lives from it or smash the DVD into a million pieces and demand that the human kids never show them that or anything like it again! And Miko would make some sarcastic remark like, "Would you rather watch 'My Little Pony' instead?"

"I got it! Megatron barfs!"
"Megatron barfs?
"Yeah, it'll be awesome."
"Save it for the movies; this actually has to be good! … Think classy."
…
"Megatron vomits!"
…
"You're magical." *fist bump*
Not gonna' lie, I geek-laughed at that. A lot.
It's nice to see the writers poke fun at themselves/their work and it's always awesome to see them take time out of their schedule to do a little fun not-so-serious project like this.
And as for the actual Prime footage:
I like this incarnation of Bulkhead. Although he resembles his Animated counterpart physically, the contrast with him being the "big, tough bruiser" as opposed to the "simple, clumsy 'bot" is nice. Richardson's voice is a perfect fit with this version.
I'm liking the variety in camera angles and filming techniques that they put in there. The ramping/slow-motion is a great touch (reminds me of the epicness of Bay's movies), and showing things from both the Transformers' and the humans POV. But I will nitpick about the scale. If Bulkhead's supposed to be this sort of off-roadish-jeep-thing, than why is he upwards of 35 feet tall? I mean, if he had a different, bigger alternate mode than sure, or unless that jeep alternate mode of his is monstrously oversized… Not that I care that much: giant robots, man! And it's interesting to see that Bulkhead cared enough to try and have Miko(?) avoid the sight of him ripping out the Eradicon's intestines. Though, Miko didn't really seem to look away, and Bulkhead was probably like: "Miko, look away! Turn your head away!" *thinking*Darn it, she's not turning away. Oh well.*thinking* RRRIIIIPPPPPPPPP!!!! Well, he tried, she didn't listen, if she's traumatized, it's her own fault.
And I'm kind of torn (not unlike that Eradicon in the clip. Ha! Nerd jokes…) on the concept of these expendable drones. From what we've seen, they're the ones doing most of the fighting. Now, I understand that you've got to have some replaceable Decepticons in here, whether it be drones in Beast Machines, protoforms in Bayformers, Stormtroopers in Star Wars, etc., but I sure hope that the main Decepticons like Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave get an adequate amount of fighting and screentime. Either way, I am very excited about this. I expect good things.
