With what I assume is the first half of this show having recently hit Netflix in the UK, I gave it a watch.
Binged through it in two days. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Feels quite fresh and new take. Love the new characters, love what they've done with Megatron. Weird hearing the odd snip of the VAs Scots brogue come through. Rather like Tuduck's Prime. Human characters are all pretty good up to excellent. Bumblebee is okay, glad they let him have a voice. Relationships between Bots is interesting with Bumblebee & Dead End being friends/Brothers. Skywarp and Frenzy being female took me by surprise, but I dug it. Especially Frenzy's punky hair-shaped head.
Animation feels solid and I am onboard with the character designs. Dig that Dot is a vet with a prosthetic leg. Gives off good Momma Bear vibes while also being a pretty kickass friend of Megs. I LOVE the music.
All in all an utterly entertaining and charming show built somewhat on G1 (with bits pulled from G1 across its own multiverse of origins and whatnot.) but being allowed to breathe and evolve into its own thing. Kinda want that Grimlock...
