I like a lot of J-Pop, I like a lot of the Japanese Transformers openings (I can even give the Beast Wars one a pass), and I'm a big anime fan, but this….. Dear GOD my ears. They hurt. The ending isn't TERRIBLE, but do they really need be so….. techno? It's awful. Then again, I'm not a big fan of electronic music at all.
What about Owl City's nostalgic electronica music and the heavy half-beat, bass drop of dubsteps? You've got to admire "Fireflies" and some of the dubstep tunes.
Wow… I didn't think that could suck as bad as it did. Both have none of the gravity that the series or the American themes have. It makes it seem so kid friendly.
I wonder how many of you who say 'the opening is terrible' realize all four of the openings are the same song and the only thing that changes is what scenes are shown in the opening.
The first opening was "Feeling" by Big Bang, and this one is a remix of the second opening's song.

The only thing I thought was funny was they showed the Starscream hip-swinging thing.

Unfortunately, at least, it's your opinion…I love both songs!
By the way, ALL Japanese songs(Idol team like AKB 48, Japanese traditional enka, Ani-son and more!) are "J-Pop", aren't they!?

Truth is, these jazzy, poppy songs simply don't work for Transformers at the best of times – especially not for a series as serious in tone as Transformers Prime.
The dub isn't exactly what I would call "serious" just watch Breakdown's death scene or whenever an Insecticon shows up. While I love the dub's interpretation of them they don't mirror the English version at all.
Even though these intros just seem a little corny, I think they're really cool and catchy! I just think they just show the more heroic, less dark side of TF Prime, and yet gets across the seriousness in a very 90's way by showing cool clips.
I open another tab and listen to this (the 3rd OP the most) every now and again and fiddle with my FE Prime, just so quirky! Reminds me of my childhood days of playing the SEGA and messing with toys.
I honestly like the music in the intro and the outro; but in my opinion, Dreadwing should be replaced with Shockwave since Dreadwing gets killed off anyway.
Dreadwing's demise doesn't come until the end of the season though. While Shockwave is only in part of a single episode. So on balance, makes more sense for Dreadwing to be the more heavily featured in the intros. When Beast Hunters makes its way to Japan, yeah, stick Predaking and Shockwave in there since it looks like Shocky is getting a larger role in BH.

total shit!

Go home Japan. You're drunk!!

I'm suprised no one has noticed this but there was no mention of Arachnid anywhere.
They also introduced Dreadwing as a regular character.
I'd say that means Arachnid is dead but Dreadwing makes a come back.

Loved the images in the opening…but left the sound off. Not bad that way for either opening or ending.

Oh god how did the OP song get WORSE?

Sorry, but:
USA intro Superior; Japan intro inferior.

Why Japanese themes songs are always cool !?
Why US ones are always creepy !?
