Doesn't live up to it's predecessors.

I have watched just about all of the episodes of this show and let me point out in an intricate list on what think of it. Warning: spoilers ahead

1) Most of the interesting characters from Beast Wars were killed off: Thinking that the show wont be on again, Mainframe killed off most of the characters at the end, the list goes Quickstrike, Tarantulas, Tigerhawk, Depthcharge, Rampage, Inferno, Transmetal Dinobot and rid itself of Waspinator (I've probably forgot a few).

2)Regardless of what ever people say, they morph: Well, it's sort of true, the Vehicons and Megatron actually transform, while Optimus and the Maximals definetly morph. Maximals just beam out blinding light and just pop out as a robot. When they just materialize as a robot from a beast, I consider that morphing.

3) WARNING: Spoiler: When Thrust turns out to be Waspinator, this puts an 8.9 on the Richter scale of WTF?: How did he travel between time and space to be a Vehicon? That alone makes no sense.

4) The entire series is using stuff from the original Transformers series a bit too much without explaining: The Key and Vector Sigma were from the original series, but wasn't explained enough. When stuff is brought from over a dozen year old series, you'll need a better then a one sentance explanation like Optimus gives.

   So concludes my article, I still watch, waiting to see if it will pick up from the slouch it is in now.
