I could definitely write an essay explaining why this series is not for 40 year olds.

You know those weird furries who are like a wolf, but with wings?

Well there's a guy like that and he makes out with a black widow spider.

Also, a bird and a tiger gently caress so hard they fuse into one, single, transgender transformer (or I guess intersex transformer, but that doesn't scan as well).

Oh, that's the record that was put aboard the Voyager 2 space probe. See, Beast Wars was supposed to take place in the same continuity as the original cartoon, and it turns out that Megatron hijacked the message of peace and welcoming that NASA put on there and embedded a hologram telling the Decepticons where to find Earth, which had rich deposits of raw crystalised energon. Never mind that the Voyager probes launched in 1977, when all the autobots and decepticons were in stasis inside a volcano. Also never mind that everybody on Cybertron already knew where Earth was and in fact the two planets had embassies in the animated movie. Apparently all these functionally immortal robots just forgot all about it in less than one generation.

Okay, so a hundred years later the war is over, cybertron is at peace, and there are no more autobots and decepticons. Now there's an energy crisis that prompts everybody to start making themselves smaller, so now they all turn into animals instead of cool things like giant tanks and poo poo. Tensions are simmering because of the crisis, and that's when Voyager 2 just happens to pass by cybertron. It is discovered by the leader of a small terrorist cell who decodes the message and, realizing what it means, changes his name to Megatron in order to make the timeline more confusing sell more toys honour the original decepticon cause.

The terrorists declare themselves to be Predacons because hasbro already had that name trademarked in the 80s and go to attack Earth. There was only one ship close enough to chase after them, so there's where the good guys in the toyline come from, but when they get near earth oh poo poo there's a technobabble time wave and they crash land on earth millions of years in the past. This fact is the big reveal in the season 2 finale, even though they're clearly surrounded by earth animals the whole time. They scan the surrounding life, the Maximals (good guys) all turn into different mammals because of the previously established rule that the good guys have to turn into lame things like cargo trucks and volkswagens and the Predacons all turn into dinosaurs and giant bugs. Megatron turns into a purple tyrannosaurus with a green belly because the designers were big Barney the dinosaur fans. Eventually the guy that turns into a velociraptor switches sides and steals the gold record even though it's now useless and then dies quoting shakespeare, making him everybody's favourite character.

What I'm saying is transformers already had a dark, gritty CGI animated series with complex storylines back in 1996, and it was loving stupid.

then Orson Welles' decapitated head shows up and poo poo gets really weird

edit: Orson Welles' decapitated head is literally a no-poo poo for-real Transformers character

That sexy black spider was the result of the animators sending the modeller to a local vancouver/burnaby strip club

I'm up in Vancouver at the moment, so I took the opportunity to actually
ask the Mainframe crew why Blackarachnia looks Asian.

Apparently, it is a simple and somewhat amusing answer. The model
designer himself was Asian. And the rest of the crew, desiring that BA be
as sexy as possible (they are a young and horny bunch) hauled him off to a
local strip joint, got him insane with lust, then plunked him down in front
of his workstation and turned him loose. Blackarachnia was the result.

i think my only exposure to transformers was random episodes of beast wars after school and watching the movie once in college so I’m no expert here but the show the op is talking about is rated Y7 and so I think the op is maybe reading into it a bit much

My eight year-old nephew apparently watched it and enjoyed it. Sounds like they made a children's cartoon that appeals to children. I'm ok with that. :shrug:

transformers were the loving bomb when I was a kid, I tried watching it again in my early 20s and it was such garbage, even while high. I still want a transformers toy since I never had one as a kid, maybe one day Ill be lucky at a flea market.

yeah.
I tried watching them a long while back. More recently when they were streaming all the old GI Joe episodes I gave those a shot for a bit, since those go so hand in hand. Try watching that poo poo stone cold sober as an adult. Jesus.

The 80's animated movie will always have a spot in my heart in spite of it flaws, but the cartoon series was something that was best left in my childhood memories.

The new series is not great except that in this story the Autobots were the rich oppressors and the Decepticons were relegated to toil in the mines to support the rich and powerful Autobots.
