(I was barred from posting this a few times, so I'll post this in parts Why is the new Transformers show suddenly all kiddy and cheesy? Was this another case of bullying by the executives, like all the behind the scenes drama in TFP? Because from what I understand TFP was rather dark. Suddenly replacing it with a kiddy and cheesy show with many problems like lack of explanation doesn't improve it at all.

more importantly why are you watching children's shows?

(posting the rest on an alt) Putting that issue aside, these are probably the worst character designs I have seen in Transformers. The "Decepticons" look like furry bait. Sure there's other characters from other Transformers shows that look like furry bait, but they aren't as bad as THIS.

This is about as ridiclous as if a bunch of Steven Universe fans piled up and said "Hey! Steven Universe is 2dark4me!" and demanded it to be made more cheesier. (Although it has a fair square of cheesiness, it's better than your laughable attempt at Prime's sequel series).

Don't even get me started on Steeljaw. Did you just deliberately lure wolf fangirls into the franchise? Ugh... Of course, the tone overhaul itself is horrible as well. The franchise didn't need another series of shelfwarmers. I love how you'd replace the REAL toys with this, in particular, when the toyline is advertised as being complex. There's probably more that I hate about this show, but: TL;DR - I think the new Transformers show is bad and that the Prime characters need to be brought back. Oh and if Hasbro keeps throwing creativity to the wind to appease some executive faux outrage they can expect to never see another viewing from me again.
