Maybe he's confusing you with Jabman? And if you killed his dog, I would definitely like to know how you did that all the way from Canada. :twisted:

But I just found myself not drawn to the characters, especially the human character. Found myself irritated by the generic goons that easily let the hero get away.

I guess I've grown too cynical. x.x
This is not at all about nostalgia. As I think we made it clear, we were talking about Prime based on its merits, not because it's a TF show. You should watch it on its own merits.

I may have misrepresented myself, I watched it based on your review. But, I was at least in part, hoping it would be sugared with a bit of nostalgia.

There is at least some nostalgia - like having Peter Cullen and Frank Welker reprising their iconic roles, but the show doesn't need nostalgia to be good, in my opinion. Honestly, I would suggest you give it another chance and be a bit more open minded. I don't know how far you got into it before dropping it, but at least try to get through the opening arc of the first five episodes and then make up your mind.

Yeah Prime is a lot more subtle when it comes to the nostalgia, especially when you compare it to Animated. It also goes for more obscure elements of the franchise, such as the Scraplets.

Alright. I'll have to watch a few more eps to better make up mind. Running out of things to watch anyway. ;p

It would be fun if Hot Rod/Rodimus returns as a guest character from a "alternate future" complete with voice by Judd Nelson.
Also, I recently saw the Japanese dub of TF Prime and was glad Tobita Nobuo (a.k.a. Camille Bidan of Z Gundam) took the role of Ratchet.
