@Miclops I meant that more in the way fans over-reacted to a few clips and out of context things and statements about the show that were twisted to mean something that they didn't and instead it turned out to be damn good with interesting characters and some great new concepts introduced to the lore.
So far, Cyberverse does feel like that. It has a lot of comedy and fun, but also some heavy overtones, world building, exploring aspects of culture to cybertronians, and character growth.
While still being a fun ride with a healthy dose of random wtfness to keep you entertained (or enraged if you take everything too serious).

Even in TFA to such insanity is not reached on the four fingers!

I just don't like them making the toys…I wish the company is like the third parties.

Maybe they did the four fingers to make them more alien.

Well we can all dream, right? I'm excited about WFC Generations. It's like a partial reboot.

Cyberverse is going to be around for a long while, so there will be time to do plenty of different types of toys for it. The emphasis right now is to slow build into that while also keeping costs low.
This first season is called "Volume 1" so that already implies there'll be at minimum, 2 volumes, probably closer to 5. But definitely somewhere between 2-5+. So that means a lot of shelf life time. Especially once WFC and Bee's movie up shelf space demands by sales volume of product moving at retailers. So Cyberverse will likely expand next year some, while keeping some of the kid friendly approaches. We may see something that'll prep for it later in premium releases somehow as a slow build as the show gets more widely praised.

Any links to the new eps?

Well I do, its just I lost faith in them making the toys right.

I wasn't around TFW2005 that far back. How was the reaction to Animated?

It's still not that good though, it feels like it's trying to reach multiple audiences but fails at all. Some of the characters are at least cool. Really hope we get some more Decepticon focused/ view point episodes and they can win too. Really like Thundercracker and Nova Storm though!

With how much the fandom was "the sky is falling the sky is falling, Hasbro will kill the brand!"
It's like TF animated all over again. People need to have a little more faith in Hasbro.

Cyberverse is getting it right, it just might be the new TFP…I wonder if TFPGV would turn out like this.

I actually don't mind Prime's voice. His lack of a face plate is what I can't get my head around. (Yes, I know Prime has had a mouth in lots of continuities, now. No, I still can't force myself to like it lol. That epic Cullen-like voice, for me, only works when he has the face plate. It feels so jarring coming out of an actual mouth. Especially one that small.)
That said, the whole series' aesthetic and feel are continuing to gradually grow on me. And, after all, I'm not its target audience. So that's saying a lot.

You know, it really works in Hasbro's favor overall.
Foster's home people did MLP, and it made gold.
Gumball people do Transformers, and it's becoming gold too.

I'm loving this show soooo much. No humans so far (in fact, we've got goats before humans which has to be a first ), the TFs have personality and they're spending extended time on Cybertron. Megatron's voice (is that Welker with a voice assist?) rocks and Prime's is okay as well (he seems to get better with each episode). Still digging the art style and more with each passing episode seeing how they interpret new things.
I'm surprisingly…good with the ten minute episodes. I wasn't sure if I'd like it after the 10-min experiment with the Machina Trilogy. But so far (fingers crossed) the writers at Boulder seem to have a far better grasp on pacing short episodes while running a longer narrative through them (tho' I think the writing is a bit better in general here…the humor hits more than it misses and I don't cringe/gag like I have over the last couple of TFs shows like Prime whenever they went the humor route).
I *really* hope this show goes the distance as it seems like Boulder is pulling the kids in with the humor while worldbuilding while setting up the main conflict.
Even tho' I think Gumball is aces, I wasn't sure if they'd be able to do a TFs show well but I was willing to give them a chance based entirely *on* Gumball and they've pulled through with flying colors (to me).
